Hopefully they won't return to the mean, and go almost scoreless following that cavalcade of runs.

Glad they got the win but sending out Julio today was yet another awful (just plain awful) decision by Servais. Throw your young franchise player out there coming off foot injury and he goes 0-5 with 5 strikeouts. Could have pulled him and replaced him with Turner at least. But no.
I have zero confidence these coaches are going to develop our hitting farm. None


Which is why you don't play him. Throw an injured Julio out there on national television and watch him strike out 5 times when you have Turner who could have DH'd today. LMAO. He was rushed because it's Sunday Night Baseball and Servais tried getting cute again. It's terrible managing and to do that to a young budding star is pathetic. It's so dumb you can't really explain it you just end up coping and trying to come up with an excuse. Just call it out, man. It's bad managing.

Wow.

Wrong. You need Julio going again as fast as possible. He needs at bats to get back going.

Terrible coaching sweeping one of the best teams in baseball and beating them 12 to 1... Dude you'll never get it. You're biased against Scott. What did he do to you to make you skew everything negative? Or are you just the type of person that can never admit when they are wrong or make mistakes?
Nah, Criz just cant admit he is wrong and wrong about servais.

What does Cal have to do with anything Cal is a catcher he's been doing just fine. What does that have to do with sending out Julio to strike out 5 times on a bum foot? Lol I can't admit? Admit what? Why cant you admit it's a bad move...that last strike out it looked like he limped . What in the world are they doing.

I wish I could fully enjoy these wins, but it is strangely difficult to do so when the Ms have had a number of mismanaged games in weeks past that today force them to share the lead of the AL West instead of being decisively atop it, thereby making their absence from postseason baseball a real possibility.

I guess I can at least take solace in the fact the Asterisks aren't completely smoking the division this year.

Nah, enjoy the ride. Be mad when they suck, be happy when they win. It's not that hard :)

I doubt any of us take even 10 minutes to watch the Cheatstros or TexASS. They both have blown plenty of games, I'm sure.

Some people just need to be saying the against-the-grain thing at all times. It's not actually that much of an enigma.

In his last couple of ABs, Julio had some hard foul balls that tell me he is getting his timing back sooner rather than later. If the game had been closer, Servais probably might have pinch hit for him in the back end. As it was, better to give him live ABs to work on that timing if the game is not in doubt. 🤷‍♂️

Expecting a guy to be on fire after basically a month is laughable. But some of the comments on M's pages are beyond pathetic. I honestly think there are a lot of people who WANT him to fail. Since when was hating Julio f'ing Rodgriguez a thing? One of the classiest players in the entire league.

Straw man. Nobody is giving up on Julio or want him to fail (stupid comment lol we want to win). It was a bad move to send him out there to go 0-5 with 5 strikeouts. Look at the dudes swing. He should have been pulled after his first 2 or 3 at bats.

M's scored 12 runs and didn't need to put pressure on Julio to produce. That's the best environment for him to get his form back after being out for a while.

He was inches from hitting a HR in his 3rd AB. You're such a knee jerk reaction fan. It compounds because you can't admit to ever being wrong, you just come up with new excuses.

Julio isn't healthy yet, yeah no sh*t Sherlock. But he needs at bats while he can take them to get him up to speed asap because they're hoping to have him at full tilt for the playoffs. He got at bats as needed and it didn't hurt the team in any way. WTF are you complaining about? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

And they scored 12 runs. Geezus, enjoy a win for once Criz. Just once. Somehow, Julio isn't allowed to have a bad game. Even though EVERY player in the league has bad games. And he's rusty. Math is hard.
Let me try to explain it for you: THEY......SCORED........12.........RUNS........EVEN........WITH............HIM...........GOING............0........FOR.......5............
Winning a good thing.

More straw mans and red herrings. No clue what THEY WON THE GAME THOUGH! and 12 RUNS BRO! have anything to do with the Julio thing.
Was sending Julio out there to strike out 5 times on national television a good move? Yes or no.

You're not even worth talking to. You are 110 percent unwilling to EVER just give up and/or admit you have it out for Scott.

Look, I'm not a Scott an either, but he's doing a hell of a job with not much to work with.
