    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Y’all keep talking shit about 7 inning games!

 

we  would have won game 1 in the 8th inning

still it's pretty fucking ridiculous that we played a double-header that started 12:10, had a 2 1/2hr break, and then ended the second game at 7:35

 

what a dumb fucking rule

Yep. He speaks about them as if he still plays for the Astros 

 

he speaks about them like he very much respects / admires / is a huge fan of these guys

his unabashed homerism with no fucks given for the appearance of objectivity in the booth  reminds me of Gene Peterson and Bill Worrell

He speaks like a guy that actually has a job inside the organization besides occasionally working TV.

funny you say that, because i was suggesting the exact opposite.

he sounds like what one of us would sound like if we were in the booth.  he talks like a fanboy.  i love it.

101-61. 

We gonna be really good in the regular season as we have 7 or 8 or 9 arms in the organization that can be a 2-4 starter, and enough bullpen to definitely be servicable.  We will be a top 3 run scored and top 7 runs allowed team.  We will lose in the round where it's exposed that we don't have enough top end stating pitching and lack that hammer in the bullpen to compete with some of the other teams in top end talent- but if we don't have to face the Yanks or Rays or Dodgers or Padres we might be able to avoid that kind of thing.  This team is built to win in 162 games.  If we are going to win in the sprint as opposed to marathon we will need some real clutch performances from Correa or Altuve or Bregman.  

I'd put our organization from 4-18 up against anyone's. I'm worried about no cy young type and no regular that you say- yeah that guys going to put up MVP numbers for sure. Correa, Altuve, Yordan, Bregman- they've all got some blemishes to them health wise or coming off bad seasons or looking for stuff. I don't know that I trust our best against another teams best- but I know I like our 4th starter, 3rd best high leverage reliever or 6th best hitter up against whoever we are playing almost any day.   

My first post of the year. Half way into the regular season it’s hard to find anything at all wrong with it. 
we are on pace for 101 wins. 
we have a bunch of guys having great seasons but nobody that looks like an MVP or a Cy Young, and amazingly enough you could squint really hard and say we only have 2 or 3 all stars and it wouldn’t be unjust or unfair. 
nailed the 7 or 8 guys in the org that could be a 2-4 starter (he’ll we have so many of those we are running a 6 man rotation with a tandem guy) 

I think the only thing I missed was the Yankees suck when I thought they’d be really good, but I nailed the other three best teams in the league. 
 

the second half of the season could make me look stupid but prognostication doesn’t get much better than this.

Good post except for the part where you missed the Astros being the best team in baseball

Wasn't Gene Peterson ejected from a game?  That to me is the gold standard of homerism.

Yes! He was the fucking BEST. Plus, he was an absolute genius on pbp descriptions.

Bagwell in the booth talking about the AL West leading Houston Astros:

"You know, I have such great pride in seeing that. I just love seeing us in first place, all the doubters, all the people who had stuff to say about us. It's just...I dunno. I can't say it on TV but I'm just like 'see?' We're legit, everything we do is legit and we're a GREAT team, and our guys are just proving it. And I love it."

That’s twice in 3 innings that Odorizzi has been checked. Overkill. 

Eh who cares, as long as the players and umps don't make a deal of it and the TV cameras don't either, I don't see the issue.

#7490

That rainout really fucked up the offensive mojo.

 

Shit, hope that wasn't a blister Odorizzi was looking at walking off the mound.

I'd rather Raley start an inning clean than come in with runners on base in a one-run game

 

Yeah, but you can't let Javier face Badoo in this spot.
