Second sac fly of the night!

They must be popping the champagne in the Firestone household.

We need more Pride Nights.

2 straight games with a homer off a lefty got Cowser 

The blueprint is out, don't throw fastballs, what do they do? Throw fastballs. You are almost guaranteed an out if you throw him offspeed, I hope they keep throwing fastballs.

Always tag up gets your hitter an extra RBI and no at bat.  If it was tagging up to third maybe different approach.

Cowser hearing Kjerstad’s footsteps and RESPONDING. Double and a homer tonight. Homer and 3 steaks for Heston. So exciting to watch these guys.

Wondering if Texas throws at us.  But honestly Mateo needs every stat in his favor in his hunt to keep his job.

Just got covid for the second time last week.  My taste buds are all changed to shit.  I cant enjoy the Gunnar Henderson Papa Johns Pizza.  Because food all taste like cardboard.  Hopefully Gunnar will keep hitting homeruns and my taste buds come back soon.

I enjoy watching a guy who is hitting .333 with an .848 Ops the last week.  

That would be great if true.  He's OPSing .592 the last 7 games and .675 over the last 15.

What is the problem with the Yankees?  I guess our series with them wore them down and they have not played good baseball since.

And losing him for nothing would be a bad move.

We wouldn’t lose him for nothing, we DFA him, he would be claimed, and then we would work out some kind of cash considerations deal, or something for a low level prospect.

Yes, he’s valuable, and I really mean that, but the fact is if we don’t need and we don’t need him.

I remember one of my teachers in high school bought a new car and just gave away the old car even though it was a 1960 opel  in perfect condition…man, she should have given it to me…

Jonah Heim is having an awful year. Sure, compared to McCann he's Babe Ruth. If Texas is 20 games out at the deadline and they don't sell, It's going to look a lot worse than if they tried to fix it for next year.

Yeah,  we’ve talked about this before, Jonah is not doing well, but he’s batting about 40 points higher than McCann, is a better framer and thrower and I think he has more power. So he has excellent defense and hits much better. He’d be a huge step up.

But Texas isn’t going to sell, even if they should. It would look too bad to the fanbase.

He did hit the double off of an offspeed pitch.  And you aren’t going to throw an offspeed pitch every pitch.
