Engel is on the IL

First off, Abreu is #3, not #2. Second off, damn you for posting this. You saw who #1 is!

No chance you DH Vaughn over Abreu. That's lunacy.

You clearly haven't seen his MLB: The Show resume. You'll be blown away.

Does he usually make these? It's time for new blood. I'm ushering in a new winning streak.

SUCK IT TIGRES! HOMERUNS ONLY!

He has a lot of those now a days.

sheesh. ugly.

is that pine tar or dip spit on his shoulder?

It's absolutely insane that McCann isn't in the lineup. He is sporting a 1.010 OPS currently, and a 1.443 OPS against lefties. Yes, small sample size, but he still needs to play against a lefty.

Figured it would be Flores. Excited to see Dunning start.

His numbers are absurd.

As much as i shill for Yermin, you gotta give Collins a chance first. This team desperately needs another lefty bat. Having a high OBP, lefty bat at 1B/DH/C would be great. I'm not convinced Yermin can even be a backup catcher. The guy is a DH/1B.

No it isn't. Just come to your conclusion based off whatever sample size you have. If it is small, so be it. I don't want to wait over 60 freaking games to jump to a conclusion.

Abreu has been here the longest. He's the ringleader of the culture. He didn't like Keuchel coming in here and telling the team to start taking things seriously.

Steve Stone is 73. He is one of the best at what he does. The guy will call a night game then call into Milly and Haugh on 670 for an interview, then talk on every other show throughout the day. The guy clearly loves what he does. He's not going to manage or be in a front office.

This. I'm assuming this thread is purposely hyperbolic. Madrigal was tearing up AA and AAA hitting while being 22. Mendick was getting spanked by A+ pitching at that age.

I'm happy with Mendick's production as an IF super sub. Lets be real though, Madrigal will always be a better at making contact and hitting for average. He is SUPPOSEDLY a better fielder. That remains to be seen, but I'd assume he is slightly better. I feel his range would be limited given his size and his average spees

I can see this sparking controversy soon. Is the org more loyal to Stone or Ricky? The fans obviously like Stone much more. I think Renteria is done after this season.

I miss Coop coming onto 670 the score. Those smarmy interviews were the best.

Not until you apologize for what you said about Cordero

^^To the people complaining about his shortened sleeve - let the guy do whatever the hell makes him feel comfortable. He has done a fine job evidently.

You're on fire today ?

Surprised no challenge there.

Jose owes it to him after undermining his authority
