that first inning today was a huge kick to the balls. we haven't seen pitching like this in a long time

we'll go as far as our pitching takes us. diaz should have been catching half the games long ago

Half the games?

Dusty is 3 putt. It all makes sense now.

Five hits.

They had five hits and won 7-5.

LOL

We picked a bad time to have our worst month of the season.

It doesn't matter when you have your worst month of the season as a loss in June counts the same as a loss in September.  It's how bad that worst month is that matters.  This month is total and complete shit.

If Maldonado is brought back next year, someone needs their house burned down.  Crane, Brown, Dusty... it don't matter.  Hell all three for all I fucking care at this point.

Watch out. maldy or Mrs Maldy will post passive agressive bullshit about you on social media and imply racism in the fanbase

well, first place is over-rated (j/k).  season is not over.  a wild card spot will have to do this year.

limp into the playoffs, then turn up the urgency.

 

 

Throwing games is the only thing I can think of... betting against the house

I don't hate Maldy.

I do question/ doubt/ dislike Dusty's management style/ decisions.  There is no Billy Beane to trade away his pet players.  It's fucking ludicrous.

It strikes me that the owner and GM and manager are getting exactly what they deserve. The players and fans aren't.

I’d exclude Brown from this right now. I just can’t fathom a GM, whose job it is to build and maintain a roster, simply being cool with the manager playing crappy players over good players most of the time. Which makes me think that Crane has made it clear that it’s all Dusty’s call. There is speculation that this is what got Click fired in the first place. It sure looks like it’s coming from Crane, who, like I said yesterday, seems to now prioritize Dusty’s ego over winning.

The problem with Crane being the crux of the issue is obvious and is the worst case scenario: the silver lining of this shitshow of a season should be that bad decisions (which lead to commensurately bad outcomes) bring consequences of necessary change. But when the owner is the one making the bad decisions…

Why do you always have to go to the darkest timeline?  

If Dusty doesn’t get the axe, the run is officially over.

If it involves anything being passed, might be Maldy's kid.

Agree, no hate for maldy. I think he’s trying his best, it’s just not good enough. The hate falls purely on Dusty who clearly is not trying his best because he purposely spots the other team at least 5 auto-outs every game by playing him and other stupid line up decisions. 

the death lineup is so obvious to everyone, we’re in a heated division race, and yet dusty refuses to play it while we keep losing. That’s so fucked. 

also, lol at being able to trade away maldy. Ain’t no teams want him, would need to be something like that time Morey paid the Lakers to trade away Jeremy Lin. Or just dfa him
 

 

Astros have to be top 3 HR’s from the catcher position ?

We need to win today and the M’s need to win today too 

SIAP.

This certainly reduces the possibilities for Diaz plate appearances

they talked about it on the radio yesterday pre game 

O’s are in Cleveland.

First time Straw made an appearance, Jim Palmer duly noted that Houston shook down the Indians for Diaz.  Palmer then picked up his storyline from when they were in Houston earlier in the week.

“How is Diaz not playing a greater role with the Astros?”

Everybody sees the problem …

I want the Astros to win, but honestly missing the playoffs would be better for the overall team health. All these guys have played almost half a regular season of playoff games in the last 8 seasons.

Hopefully missing the playoffs will lead to the consequences needed to refocus for another 2-3 year run.

I'm not on social media other than this site, so fuck 'em.  And how can they claim racism when you want to replace one Latino with (checks notes) another Latino?

Who translates for Bregman when there’s a meeting on the mound?

This is such an overexaggeration…. Who is on the 40 man today that was on the 2017 WS team, just 6 years ago?
Pretty sure it’s just three: Tuve, Bregman, and JV (and he missed a season because of Tj surgery). 
 

This team has lost the will to win because of Dusty.   Fuck him and maldy.

They went private and claimed it was based upon slurs and made it seem racial. No receipts posted. I think the slurs are probably “you suck” but who knows.

But see this illustrates the problem perfectly. It doesn’t have to reduce Diaz’s plate appearances. It only does because our dipshit manager refuses to play Diaz at the position where is is better than the other guy in every measurable category.

If he doesn’t play today, he’s probably done for the year.  That comes from somebody connected to the FO.

Rolling ball of some extremely dull butcher knives.

Nah, I don’t doubt some vile stuff was hurled at him. Cause. People are horrible. Doesn’t change that he’s sucked this season. 

Has there been any official word on Brantley?
Discomfort

No Brantley again. I think he is done. We got to see the Death lineup for exactly one whole game this year. What a great day it was. RIP.

12 runs.  Never wanted to dust that off again for the dust man.

I was there

Rays up 5-2 on the Jays in the 6th.  Springer just had a 2-run double to get the Jays on the board.  Feels weird not to be happy for that.

the OG core still has one more season left. We’ve traded for some damn good young players, players good enough to keep it going. I Blame injuries way more than anything else for this season .

 

JP is going to step up tonight, get us back in the fight. He’s part of the next core group

We’ve had so many injuries it’s actually a miracle we are only .5 games out. I still can’t handle that our playoff hopes are gonna get dashed by the fucking royals and the A’s.

AL central killed us this season 

the season isn’t over yet !

Devenski facing Springer, top of 9th gets the K. I figured Devo was in prison. I had no idea he was still around.
