Crane likes hanging out with MLB ball players. That’s how Reggie got involved for a while and Bagwell clearly wants to be involved.

Cam has improved this year. He’s hitting the ball harder, barrel % is up, K rate is slightly down and ISO is up. He’s had a ton of bad BABIP luck (.248) this year. He’s figuring things out.

If enjoying looking at attractive glistening cleavage is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Every year that Espada has been the manager, there has always been - “look at the Astros record from some date after the start of the season.” Here’s the record I’m using to evaluate Espada for this year - 70-69. The games in April count as well. This record likely reflects the true talent level of this club which has been in decline since 2019.

Hhave the nerds decided to bring the infield in to prevent every run?

I will be watching the OL. Can we run the ball when everyone in the stadium knows a run is coming? Will we see a Guard take out multiple teammates on a play?

RIP Senator Graham

Is that even possible at this point?

Hhitters are batting 388 against Javier when they get to face him a second time. Why did Joe let him face the top of the lineup again? Just go to a piggyback with Teng. It doesn’t really matter because this team is about 4 outfielders short of a Major League lineup, but the thought processes related to this pitching staff doesn’t make sense.

I’m definitely curious what happens when Strom gets here.

Some of Espada’s overmanaging relates to the shitty starts in 24 and 26. The team ends up so far back he starts managing like every game is a playoff game. On top of this, Crane refusing to eat the money on bad pitching contracts the last several years has been forcing him to manage with fewer pitchers than other teams. Imai has no business being on an MLB roster but Crane doesn’t want to eat that contract. The same could be said for McCullers the last 2 seasons. If we have baseball next year, I’m hoping the next GM and manager can build a team with 13 actual MLB pitchers and avoid another terrible April.

The documentary talks about that some. He had a lot of shit going on in his personal life at that time with his agent/family friend falsifying signatures on loans, lawsuits, etc. No team wants their backup QB getting served at training camp.

RIP - way too young

He cares so much about the ballroom and Arc de Trump that the Ds should see what he will give up to get funding. They may be able to get Supreme Court reform, gun control, the return of Roe and immigration reform in the trade.

He always passed the confidence test. Let your nuts hang!

Jimmy Johnson understood this. Michael Irvin gets different treatment than a scrub who’s competing to make the special teams.

I was able to watch this tonight and something that Mack said really struck me - “People only remember the bad things, but I remember Vince playing well and winning.” In terms of VY’s NFL career with the Titans, I remember Vince saving 7-9’s career in 2 different seasons. Obviously everyone points to the OT run against the Texans but I remember him driving the Titans 99 yards in the last 2 minutes to beat Leinart’s Cardinals team. His career taught me to look at players labeled as “busts” as a failure by a whole organization as it wasn’t just on his shoulders. I will never see another player that was able to deliver like VY when the game was on the line and that’s the memory I have of him.

I’ve always been shocked that Yordan can’t play first when even Scott Hatteberg could learn to play it.

First, Fuck Jeff Fisher. Second, Fuck Bud Adams. Bud set up that whole dysfunctional situation by drafting VY and then not having the balls to tell Fisher to suck it up or get the fuck out. These two imbeciles are by far my most hated people in all of sports history and I’m old enough to remember watching Bosworth play at OU.

I bitched about Espada being 1 batter late in taking Pecko out and I’m going to give him credit for having Hader warm to come in and finish the 8th.

It’s likely that Natalie is a Dolly fan and made that post.

Espada’s always 1 batter late.

RIP The world is worse off without Dolly.
