    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.

I'm so happy we signed Baez and Jake to 2 year deals

4-4 isn’t horrible 

get healthy, get Mayer some More at bats

Please get him more at bats, Dusty. Give him the start in cf tomorrow night.

I would let Odor finish the game.  At the end of the year, he shouldn't be on the playoff roster.

That shot was pretty damn satisfying in an otherwise shitty game. 

Game sucked, but yeah at least Carlos went yard on that fuckstick 

 

5 scoreless from the bullpen is encouraging as well.  Also, Meyers' first three ABs have all come with 2 outs in the 9th.  That has to be a record.

Yeah just way too much Odorizzi, Robel, Castro

When the other team only needs 18 outs before the first pitch, it is difficult to win the game if your SP sucks ass

Garcia is fucking worthless 

This.  This is a major problem.  Garcia should carry all team bags to the airport. 

I'm starting to think it's time for them to give CJ Hinojosa a chance until Bregman returns.

Yes.  The competition level will drop off in August.  Time to figure out who should really be on this team.

Bring up more guys, try them out, go from there.

CJ is younger and is better in the minors than Robel was.  This seems like a no brainer.

Well if the Robel Fan Club President is finally on board then let's do it

Yeah, bring in the noobs while the Astros face their kryptonite schedule. I don’t disagree with you, I’m just laughing at the notion  of weaker teams being layups for our heroes.

He shouldn’t start over chas 

He needs to get some work and some at-bats where he's not the last  out in the ballgame against a good team with opposing fans on their feet. It's not so much a question of starting him over Chas McCormick in general but giving one of the outfielders a day off today and starting Meyers at home after a long flight back to Houston. 

Shit, they didn't even arrive until 6am this morning. I won't be surprised to see Brantley out of the lineup and and outfield of McCormick/Meyers/Tucker.

Well they do have today off, so everyone should have plenty of rest. Now that there is the DH again, I think Meyers will get a couple of starts on this home stand. Of course, Dusty is still pissed that Cleveland gets to lead off Straw, like he wanted to do the entire time.

No, they play tonight.

we are in a World Series run, not in rebuild mode. He can bat everyday in AAA. We need production

Then why is he on the roster?

Obviously the team is built for a World Series run but in order to succeed in the postseason you need to get your role players regular season at bats. That's the basis for my defense of Robel Garcia previously (good glove, decent pop in his bat, needs more ML experience...) I'm not making the case for Jake Meyers to be an every day outfielder right now, but tonight is a great spot start against the Twins after a long trip back home where he can step into the box under better circumstances.

Meyers should start tonight...and probably every 3rd game.  He has to get AB's.  Chas isn't fucking Mike Trout he can play 2 out of 3 days.  

I always try to pass along these items even if no one else is a collector, but GTSM is having a show this weekend.  GTSM is also ran as a clusterfuck sometimes(I mean they still show Straw as a guest), but here is a link to everything.  It is at Bayou City Event Center.

Bregman is playing in Round Rock tonight and this weekend for any of you Austin area fans who want to see a Skeeters game.

We should have sent Robel to Seattle in a Toro mask.

RIP, JR Richard.  Deserved better.

 

Also, sorry that the last game you saw (maybe) was that Odorizzi start.

Well shit lets give him 15 yrs 700 mil

RIP JR, perhaps my favorite Astro ever.

His stroke in 1980 is one of the lowest points in Houston sports history.

Yes that was shocking news when it happened and it certainly felt like a death blow to their 1980 season.

With JR they are in the World Series in 1980 and possibly 1981 as well.

When I was a kid I thought he was Jimi Hendrix reincarnated as a starting pitcher for the Astros. He was such a force on the mound.

Yeah well with Colt McCoy....ah fuck it

"undisputerd starting center fielder" seems like, what's the word i'm looking for, a lie. 

The only way that trade really makes sense to me is if something else fell apart that was bringing another center fielder here and they were ok with the gamble because they weren't losing much in Straw.

i'm sure some stories will come out in the offseason.  buxton isn't even swinging a bat right now, so those rumors never really made sense to me.  injuries and covid really muddled this whole situation.
