Glad to see Clint put out what I believe to be our best lineup. No disrespect meant to Cabrera or Tucker.

I would prefer Cabrera over Polanco. Even vs a RHP. Polanco is hitting .247 vs RHP and .296 vs LHP. Cabrera is .315 vs RHP and .340 vs LHP. Neither is a good outfielder but Cabrera catches what he gets to. Polanco makes bad decisions in the OF and is also a poor base runner. Polanco is currently hitting .259 which, if he could sustain it, would be a career best. He'll hit more HRs but he's not an elite HR hitter. Cabrera is just a better, more productive hitter.

For the month of May, Musgrove has an ERA of 8.25. Looks like that will go up tonight.

I have him on my fantasy team and seriously thinking of cutting bait, but there is NOTHING out there on the bone pile any better.

I've seen enough. I'm sick of this team. Ya'all have a good night. Try again tomorrow.

Musgrove is a guy that simply can’t fail. They need his attitude and top of the rotiation results to lead this team. If he’s in process of implosion there is very little hope.

I think Musgrove is what he is. He is better than Nova but not close to as good as Cole (or Taillon or Williams).

He will have more good games than bad games but he isn't a top pitcher. NOt happy that McRae is first one of the bullpen. He needs to be on a very short leash.

Polanco and Marte have absolutely killed this offense tonight.

My perfect OF...from left to right. Dickerson/Reynolds/Meadows.

I so had wished we traded Polanco last year and not Meadows. Sigh.

Marte for Minor is a deal I would do in a heartbeat right now. Not saying Texas would do that, but one i would not run away from.
