Guessing this it. Martinez is on fumes. Dusty's poor management is forcing this kid to pitch more than he's capable.

Kalas is a fucking moron.

 

Martinez deserves better than Dusty fucking Baker.

Edited by HtownHorn

Astros are snakebit. 4th loss in a row and we've had leads in all of them. Now 0-4 in extra inning games this season to boot. Bright side is we didn't score 10+ runs so we have a chance to win tomorrow

At what point is actually winning that day's game going to start to move up in the priority list?

So I guess throwing Abreu 3 straight days would be worse than throwing Martinez 4 innings and 50+ pitches?

Maybe?  Abreu is a pretty irreplaceable asset. Martinez is not.

And Abreu's arm isn't going to fall off pitching a 3rd straight day.

That was like getting kicked in the nuts for 3 hours.

Hopefully tomorrow.

We’re not snakebit, we are just shitty.

I couldn’t watch so I’m not sure that’s a  plus or minus but it sounds like bullshit. Fire Dusty.

After the AS break.

Those cockfucks. Props to Martinez though. Shouldn’t have come to that.

The answer is right in front of y’all and it’s neither of these…

Didn’t he go like 30 or 35 pitches in one of those outings?  I don’t know- I’ve slept since then.

Is it Dusty?  Is that what you are saying?  

I'm old enough to remember Orel Hershiser pitching 7 inning of relief in extra innings on 2 days rest.  Get off my lawn.

This team obviously isn't good enough to just show up and win. At least tonight Martinez was great, and Tucker came to life in extras. Maybe now we can add some better luck, but that's been in short supply. I think a lot of it flew back to Houston for evaluation.

Being snakebit with injuries contributes to our shitty-ness. Alvarez is injured, Luis Garcia out for the season, LMJ was supposed to be back but now he's probably done for the season, Brantley was supposed to be back but his assignment last month didn't go well and now who knows what his status is (probably won't play this season). 

We just don't have the players right now to get the wins we need to win a division.

Snake bit with injuries, having to depend on bench players to be starters, and Abreu sucks

It's going to be interesting to see who Brown goes after.

I’d trade for Hinch personally.

That's not going to happen, so let's keep it in the real world.

he’s going to be fired 

take a close look at braves bench coaches. 

My prediction of 96 wins is looking a little shaky. Might have to include spring training.

They’ll make some quarter-measure, meaningless move(s) that will probably end up being a net-negative when they either miss the playoffs entirely or manage to lose a wild card series.

Crane made this bed in the off-season.

What's crazy about baseball at this point in the season is that it's just as likely that they win the World Series.

Lol no it isn’t.

last June the Yankees were the best team ever and the Phillies were very bad

Of course it is. 

Not saying it’s flawless, but Fangraphs (for example) has the Astros odds of missing the playoffs at 22%; it has their odds of winning the WS at 9%.

And that 9% seems high, but even that is way less likely than missing the playoffs entirely.

In 2021 we lost the World Series to a team with a losing record on August 1.

Too soon

You can’t waste an Abreu three run homer. We were playing with house money and just kept drinking the free drinks until we threw up on the table.

I did this on the last day of my cruise for all practical purposes. Ran 200 up to 1700 and ran that down to -2200. That’s what yesterdays game reminded me of.
