    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Sigh.  Get em tomorrow, boys.

Can you wear Dodgers gear and boo really loudly? Seems that’s the only way we know how to perform.

Remember when we scored at least 3 runs every game

Do they need to sacrifice a live chicken?  Slump busters all around?  Something needs to happen to wake up the bats.

I do

I also remember it involved not trotting out a bottom 4 consisting of partners at a personal injury firm:

McCormick, Jones, Meyers and Maldonado

Too many regulars out of the lineup and Altuve/Gurriel are slumping.  Going to be tough sledding until they get Yordan and Tucker back.  Maybe, just maybe, we'll get Bregman back too before the end of the season.  Also would be helpful if Urquidy could finally begin a rehab assignment and finally knock Odorizzi out of the rotation.  There aren't any DeGroms on our pitching staff, but a rotation of LMJ/Garcia/Framber/Urquidy/Greinke is solid top to bottom with a good pen to back them up.  Just need to get healthy.

They're the only ones that got hits last night.

Apropos that he was released on a Tuesday

I wonder what the next move is with the Martes release. It opens up a spot on the 40 man and it doesn’t appear that any of the 60 day IL guys are ready. I wish they’d done this earlier. We could have saved one of the guys we recently lost. @Gourmand usually has a feel for this stuff. Any guesses?

Nah he's been off the 40 man for a while now, certainly since the last time they DFAd him.

Pretty sure our 40 man is at 40

It is, and Scrubb just recently was transferred to the 60-day IL. I think the next move to clear a spot for a pitcher (Josh James) would be Montero to the 60-day IL.

Check that, was getting the 40-man and active roster spots twisted. 

The likeliest move I can see is Scubb coming off the 60-day IL and taking Montero's place on the 40-man roster while Montero goes to the 60-day IL. Neither James nor Scrubb will sniff the active roster before Sept 1 or unless another pitcher gets injured.

 

 

Chandler Rome is such a snively little asshat sometimes, it's like he's trying to be Evan Drellich.

Yeah he's a bitch boy crybaby who wants all information handed over to him without having to actually do any work or make relationships with people

I’d much rather have updates like this. 
BTW The Skeeters don’t play tonight. Lulz

What the hell does that mean? I realize that quote makes Dusty look like a dumbass but in fairness to him it requires a follow up question from reporters or at least a clarification from Lerner on what "here" means in this context. Was Dusty using "here" in the colloquial sense as an expression of time or was he referring to Bregman joining the team soon? I assume he just meant Bregman would be back on rehab pretty soon with Sugar Land....

Here at the K for the game. Hope they pull their heads out of their asses tonight. 

Good luck....we are all counting on you

I blame you if they don't

 

This guy is gonna go 7 scoreless and hold the Astros lineup to three hits or some shit.

Let's see how many fucking hits we get with the bats on our shoulders, boys...

 

Holy furk...

They suck as much live as they do on TV these days. 

Approaches at the plate the past month have been pathetic.   No patience.  It's like their guessing.  I wonder if Snitker as batting coach is baseball nepotism, or not. 

this is infuriating to watch. 
 

THIS IS A SHITTY TEAM. CUT THE HEAD OFF THE SNAKE!!!!

So ummm. When will they unshift and play straight up?  Maybe when its a 5-0 deficit?

Man fuck this game...that inning right there is how its going

All 3 of those were hit in the button, and nothing. Just not our series. 

Getting swept by KC is a bold strategy

Anyone hear anything as to when Bregman's pussy will be healed?
