Casas ended up 4 for 5 with his 11th tater & a double. Scherff goes 6 IP with 2 Hits and 1 ER.

I let myself be fooled the Warriors were going to lose. Cousins did his best to hand it away, and the refs actually called a clean game, but it is what it is.

By the insanity club of never-neverland.

Here's a wild fantasy-type suggestion.... (Harmony will have a field day with this.) Edwin Encarcion (20 HRs so far) is owed $20M and has a $20M option for next year ($5M buyout). If we wait for the halfway point, he'll be owed $10M. Word is the Mariners are willing to chip in cash to deal some players away. Maybe they take Pearce (owed $3M at the halfway point). Ask Seattle to chip in $2M this year and $5M next year for the buyout. That makes the budget hit $5M. We'd have to give a serious prospect or two to even the deal for the M's, but they do save a lot of money. So, Pearce, DHernandez & Duran for EE & cash? Then, trade Moreland (save $3.25M at the halfway point) to Houston for a prospect that we flip in a trade with Dalbec, Feltman & Houck for Wil Smith (owed $2.1M at halfway point). We'd still be under the max line, but our farm would be further depleted. 1. Betts RF 2. Bogey SS 3. Encarnacion 1B 4. JD DH 5. Devers 3B 6. Beni LF 7. Chavis 2B 8. Vaz C 9. JBJ CF Bench: Nunez, Holt, Marco, Leon SP: Sale, Price, Porcello, ERod, Eovaldi RP: Smith, Barnes, Workman, Hembree, Walden, Brasier, Velazquez/Johnson/???

We're 4-10 in his starts. 7 IP 0 ER tonight, and we lose. Other tough loses: 6 IP 1 ER 5 IP 2 ER 7 IP 2 ER 8 IP 1 ER 7 IP 2 ER

I keep waiting for the big turn around. ...and waiting...

Snakebite year

Neither is Barnes.

God Dam It!

All the Beni bitchin' can be over with in one swing!

now!

Sandy Freakin' Leon!

Should Hembree or Workman be our closer?

Effin' Brock Holt!

Brock Effin' HOLT!

Snake bite year

It sure looks that way.

Game is not over, but this is an ugly pattern we've fallen into and can't seem to get out of.

omg!

Big time game for Barnes. GET IT DONE!!!!

Devers is a new man on D.

Currently, the Rangers hold the 5 slot with a .531 winning rate. That equates to 86 wins. 86 wins! And, nobody expects them to be in the playoffs. At our current rate, we are projected to win 84 games, Cleveland 82 and Oakland 81. I like our chances. We might just need to win 86-90 wins to make the playoffs. My guess is 89-90 makes it. At 89, we'd need to go 55-41 (57%).

Yes, I do. You are totally basing your opinion on what you have seen so far this year. Look at the history of MLB. Teams often have better (or worse) second halves. We have a very good team, on paper, and I expect us to start playing like it very soon.

Before the Yankee sweep in August, we heard this same thing all along. Once we make the playoffs, I will like our chances.

This world is going to Hell in a handbasket.
