Sweep this series.  Gets us squarely back on track and derails Texas, adding more quality arms to the trade market.

Think the 5 All-Stars all stayed in Texas or did they travel home for a day?

I heard that they stayed except for Burnes.

I'm guessing that Grayson gets the start.

Burnes seems to (understandably) be spending as much time as he can with his wife and newborns.

He coulda spent 4 straight days with them after pitching Sun. Instead he flew to Tex to start AS game then left even though we play there tomorrow. Just had to pitch in that AS game didnt you. Coulda went home for 4 straight days. Not a team player. Business first.

I mean he's everything we needed this year. Gets an A for performance and ultimately thats the most important thing. But he is a mercenary who is putting himself above the team and being led around on a leash by Boras.

They said the highlight of his week was that he could finally tell his twins apart.

Tex played well after leaving Baltimore. Would be nice to win the series and push them towards moving vs buying

Dave Johnson in the booth. Expect a very bad series. The guy is a total black cloud.

Dave Johnson is also an annoying chatterbox.

Maybe turning down the sound

Saw that he was going through walk throughs today. Hopefully that is a good sign that he is activated tomorrow
