Allard goes to the hill tonight, off tomorrow as we head to Oakland for a weekend series against the A’s
 
Lynn was great, but Verlander was dominant and that Angel Hernandez k-zone was disgusting. Had to have a dinner reservation at Truluck's.

What do we think about Allard tonight? I'm worried he gets hit hard

A season of some highs & then some lows, we have two studs as our starters but then who knows
Trevino could be a very good catcher for us next year
Our bullpen has many question marks
We need a third baseman & first baseman

I’ll write up a complete report card for this team by Wednesday I thank the CTG family for bearing with this the entire season it was a interesting ride for sure
