Are we rooting for the Astros or Rays? Astros. 2017 against the playoffs against the Sox aside, they've been our savior when it comes to beating the Yankees in the playoffs. The Rays have been the worst since the beginning of their expansion. Plus the Rangers seems like they might head into a free fall. Astros looking like they win the West. The last bit here is the key to me. Houston getting Altuve and Alvarez back while Texas is getting dinged up and looking a little more mortal makes me think they’re (meaning the rangers) the most passable team ahead of the Sox right now. |

Astros Rays is on MLB Network and Angels Jays on Apple TV. I agree with others too root for Houston. I think Houston is going to get a playoff spot and could pass the Rangers. The Rays have been fading. |

It’s wild to think Doogie has been cold for like half a month and he is a bad night away from plummeting into the .260’s. Don’t think I’ve seen an average drop that fast in awhile. Is he depressed about the AS game? Is he hurt? Is he just cold? Idk I just want him to start hitting again. Easy swings.

He is clearly an emotional guy (or at least wears it more on his sleeve) - higher highs, but lower lows? A mystery. |

Giants seem to be the team bidding against us in the second baseman market
Let's make them forget about buying for the playoff run

Comforto having a bad rebound year after missing last year. There's been interest in him by a lot of people over the winter. That might change next winter unless he gets hot here in the second half.

I'll admit I was interested in them adding conforto before they grabbed Yoshida. Bloom certainly made the right move there at least so far anyway. |

Add lip reading to “calling an interesting game” on the list of things OB can’t do
Casas is a monster

Verdugo just looks lost. Like every swing and miss looks like he’s swinging for the fences and nothing is connecting.

In my quest to see if Casas is pushing AL Player of the Month status, I just noticed that the 6th-10th best players in baseball for July by batting average (min PA 50) are Duran, Devers, Yoshida, Wong, and Casas with Turner 13th.
By wRC+ Casas is 3rd behind Contreras and Julian so it's possible with a strong weekend he nabs POTM. 0.365/0.476/0.808/1.284 with a 239 wRC+.

Does Casas have a chance at ROTY If he keeps this up?
