I don’t mind seeing the A’s and mariners beat us the rest of this year because it’s going to make things harder on the Astros and help our draft position.

Is there any possible way we could get rid of Matt Moore at the end of the season? Buy him out or something? Guy is worthless.

Will never understand a person that doesn't mind losing. Kind of says something about a man. If the Astros are good enough, they will win and if not, so be it.

The Guru has looked into the crystal ball and come up with:

Rangers win 1 of 3 in this series.

I want them to win as many as possible. The draft is like playing the lottery, your hoping that you hit the jackpot.

You guys are full of it.

We could have had Bregman if it wasn’t for Tim Bogar winning a lot of games as interim manager

Turn right and when you pass the trees you will see the forest. Some are winners. Some ain't.

And if we had Bergman, we still wouldn't be in the playoffs. He was trying to win a job. It's over with move on.

Wish they would leave Robinson in CF for a few games. We already know Tocci can't hit.

I, for whatever reason, got the feeling that's the plan on the short run. I honestly didn't realize how well he was doing in the minors, and to me, he deserves a good look for the next 10 games anyway......Hit the ball on the noise twice last night.

And I couldn't agree with you more re: Tocci.....The plan always was, muddle through this year, and then have him at AA next season.

Damn it! Here I was thinking they were going to leave Robinson alone out there for a few games anyway.

I get them wanting to keep the kid, but we know, kind of anyway, what his short comings are, and hitting is at the top of the list. So why not let Robinson get some AB's? Don't understand this.

Don I'm thinking with half of a season to go, FO wants to give each of them as much Time hitting as feasible. DDJ, Tocci and Drew all are pretty much equal in the field so time is given each to evaluate plate performance or explore FA if one of them does not step up. imo

I think they like Tocci better due to arm and speed is not too far off DDJ.
I am a bit puzzled though. To me this is more about how little they value DDJ and did not trust his approach throughout this slump. Still curious about Drew.

And Tocci has enough time that if he went down injured we could still keep him

Whitey Ford had 22 starts before having a loss. Imagine that.
