    Yep. It would have been nice to make a splash before the coming home stand vs. Texas and Tampa. Instead we have to wait until the deadline and pray they actually do something.

    Not a lot of moves in general around the league. Typically the first big move will set the market (likely an overpay) and things will spiral either way from there.

    There’s also still teams not sure what they want to do as far as buying or selling goes (Red Sox, Padres, Mets, etc.).

    Chas .282 with 12 homers and batting 7th in this trash lineup. Dusty hates him.

    This Dodgers pitcher is trash. Rangers getting knock after knock.

    Dubon
    Julks
    Abreu
    Madris

    Only Johnnie would put those guys ahead of Chas in the lineup

    Dubon at leadoff is an awful choice, and honestly it has been for a long time. He has had a good year vs expectations, but he is pretty much the opposite of what you would want at the top of your lineup

    No.
    Doobie's defense > Altuve's Defense.

    Maybe… but he doesn’t get to be in the lineup when Yordan, Altuve, Diaz, Chas and Julks (vs. Meyers?) all in lineup because that’s a better lineup.

    There are situations every ~week (like certain Framber starts) where I would DH Altuve and put Yordan and Dubon in the field.
