Oh yeah, this isn't over.... especially with the top of this lineup coming up.

Badly, badly needed. When was the last time this team hit three homers in a game?

Given the relative strength of the bullpen, this is probably a win to finally get to an extra innings game..... but they still gotta score at least one run lol

Looking like another one run loss in Minnesota lol

As Chas suggests, Harold's splits should earn him a benefit of the doubt. The call sucks, I get it, but it wasn't a move I agree with either way.

Maybe Harold gets a hit and scores two?

Didn't like subbing out Harold there... splits be damned

Alright Harold, don't turn back into a pumpkin just yet lol

Carlos Pena is solid.... go get him for the TV broadcast!

How long until Hittin Harold leads the teams in homers? lol

You know it's bad when the national announcers are hailing Harold Castro's approach in comparison to the rest of the lineup lol

....except for Harold! Wow

Good Lord, they not only suck, but they are just so damn boring to watch lol

You're the one who seems agitated.

I recall seeing a lot of decrying of Grossman's production thus far as a leadoff hitter in the other thread and how it hamstrings this lineup. And that his performance probably warrants some days off or being dropped in the lineup. Those are fair arguments, even if one disagrees. I didn't see any claims that things would be better or worse without him in the leadoff spot.

Has anyone claimed this to be the case?

More umpire BS

Around a month ago, the very same Governor sitting up there at the dais commissioned a study into why Texas has a major teacher shortage. I'm sure making it an expectation that teachers be armed will be a major boon to increasing the supply of teachers in the state. Completely logical and not insane lol

Grossman is a Hinch guy, so the chances he gets bounced before his contract is up are zero. But, by that token, his production is killing this team right now. Probably more than everyone else at this particular juncture... and it's hard to see them having a functional offensive without him performing.

It's not that prayers are bad, it's that the constant calls for them ring completely hollow when all that happens are just prayers. It's not that hard to understand, yet we will remain collectively obtuse about it as per yoosh. And the idea that there are "spiritual solutions".... again, we are a country of 330+ million. No "black mirror" style mind control device exists to make everyone perfect and happy. So policy should be crafted around actual problem solving instead of magical thinking.

30 minutes...

Guns are actually a case where law enforcement largely falls along the standard liberal position. But, paraphrasing Meat Loaf, "we'll do anything for law enforcement, but we won't do that" lol

I would settle for moral clarity at this point from these pols.... just spare us the talk about "mental health" and "metal detectors" and such and just admit that the gun is more important than the kids. And that the talk is all just a way to wind down the clock until it passes from the collective consciousness. It won't happen, of course, and collectively, we will still take these tropes seriously. We've seen the movie before
