    The difference between 2-0 and 1-1 is significant.

    Even with that strike the count was 2-1 which is a good hitter's count.

    The Astros lost a challenge earlier so the reward has to be worth the risk.

    Cole was right to not challenge it unless it is so egregious that there is no question it would be overturned. And he doesn't get the view we get, or replays

    Worst thing I've seen since Pearl Harbor.

    Can we trade him for a year's supply of Sushi?

    MLB has officially declared the AL West will not have a representative in the 2026 playoffs.

    1st pitch to yordan was the one. yordan didn't expect it

    not sure if it's me but yordan hasn't hit much opposite homerun this season.

    Caratini 2-year tenure
    - zero division titles
    - zero playoff wins

    Damn that quick exit seemed wild card. Lose twice and done.

    Only took 2 games to undo the first two vs Arlington -- and that's after losing 1-3 to SEA, and losing vs CIN.

    Every game. week, month is a struggle.

    That’s probably it for Lance. Took longer than I thought. I figured he wouldn’t get out of April.

    Is this the (potentially) best hitting lineup we can field currently…?

    guess we’ll find out
