Abreu as a Ph huh? Wonder what the numbers say about that, at least Diaz made it moot.

    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Singleton on suicide watch....getting PH for Abreu will do that to you

'Checks numbers'

DUMB AS FUCK BOB

Finally a reliever that sucks as much as Pressly

Boy, Yanier totally bailed Espada out of some tough questions during post game presser

Altuve finally didnt put first pitch in play and did something

Boy, Yanier totally bailed Espada out of some tough questions during post game presser

Yep, if that decision leads to a loss, man wouldn’t want to be Espada.

Wonder how that 3 pitch at bat looks on back of baseball card

Why don't they ever show Abreu looking at the Ipad in dugout?

Is he not technologically saavy?

Espada is a rotting wound that needs to be amputated. Just like the Texans and Rockets had no chance of success with the worst coach in their respective leagues in Culley and Silas. Thank God our players overcame his stupidity to get the W.

Well that was a nice win. Been on too many of the other side of these

According to radio last week, you just don't want to use analytics with extremely gifted players like Abreu.

If all you did was watch strikes and swing at balls in the dirt would you want to watch that?

He shouldn't be looking at himself, he should be watching video of someone good.

I fucking hate that pitch framing is taught and lauded as a skill.  It's intentionally exploiting the weaknesses in the system to manipulate an umpire into an incorrect call.  Oh, your catcher is really good at cheating the system?  Yay, I guess.  Please bring us robot umps and end this farce.

I want to hear one good reason why they are going to wait until the 2025 season to introduce the MiLB pitch challenge system (hopefully) and didn’t introduce it this year.

and don’t give me the “umpire union”.  If it’s not strong enough to prevent the strikezone box on the TV screen, it’s not strong enough to prevent the challenge system.

Risking your career for less than $30 seems dumb.

I love that they make sure to announce the results of the offense.

like, it’s not bad enough we’re announcing why you’re getting suspended, we’re also going to make sure everyone knows how good or shitty of a gambler you are 

Damn, getting a healthy LMJ back would be huge. Let him pitch only at MMP

If we're going to have human umpires, I want my catcher to do everything possible to get a called strike.

Posting again so you can see the whole list without clicking. Two ways of looking at it - (1) there HAS to be regression to the mean on “clutch” performance or (2) proof that they’re cooked.

I’d like to see that stat for a full season for each of the last couple of years 

Pressley is the set up man, the Astros need him to successful…per espada on the radio just now. 
 

Chas is going to get at bats, need his production. Swing was a little off coming off last IL stint.

I’m guessing Tucker is down for a couple of days ….

 

Hopefully we get 25% of this production while he’s back up:

Trey Cabbage - Cabbage had a monster week. In six games he had 7 hits, all for extra bases. He had 2 doubles, 5 homers and drove in 15 runs. This included an 8 RBI night on Wednesday.

Jake Meyers batting cleanup.

what a season. 
don’t think Yordan needs to worry about taking a bat to the plate. If he sees anything within 2 feet of the plate, the cardinal pitcher delivering it should be cut 

That lineup is something.  I think Espada was the devil whispering on Dusty's shoulder.

You play the 25 you have, this team has been shit the last 162. I don’t think they have it in them this year ….

 

It’s next level managing when you bat the player with the highest average in the 9 hole. 

Batting average?  Ok, Joe Morgan

So, why did they rush him back. This organization is more stupid than not now. I do love it how he says Chas is going to get at-bats and then the lineup comes out and no Chas.

Pressly does remind me of the set up man.*
