My thought

was that he could’ve gone to Barton, who walks a ton, with the bases loaded and moved Rosy to the OF, Rajai out. But I’m not the manager and besides, my fingers don’t smell very good.

I actually would have preferred Cust

You can’t pitch around him or it’s tied, and a HR scores 4. What better a situation can you have for Cust than to put him up where you can get a 4-spot and they can’t really walk him?

Definitely. Texas is rollin right now.

But we got the Sox, who we just took two from, then KC who we swept then the Rangers. Hopefully we win those two and maybe Texas will lose a few before we meet again.
