  1. This team is so frustrating. I’m tired of seeing the following on a regular basis: - Jose Abreu not getting in front of and knocking down hard hit grounders to first. - Ryan Pressly hanging breaking balls in the middle of the plate. - Alex Bregman hitting 4th or 5th during his normal slow start. If we know he sucks in April and May, let him bat 8th and take some days off. - All of our decent starters spending time on the DL with McCullers having a permanent spot there. - Framber shaking off signs and melting down. Did Bagwell tell him to stop going to the shrink? - Jose Abreu swinging late at another fast ball. - Knowing that Crane won’t nut up and pay Tucker his money. - Diaz swinging at every pitch that’s eye level and a foot off the plate. Take your walks and make them pitch to you. - Joe Espada looking clueless in the dugout. Although he didn’t try and steal an inning with Brown last night, maybe he’s learning after trying and failing about 10 previous times this year. - Other than the Windmill at 3rd base, I’m convinced that the other assistant coaches are worthless. If a veterans swing is fixable, you would think an actual coach could do that instead of trying to pull the ex-Astro out of the stands. If they still have a losing record by the end of June, they should trade Bregman and Pressly for some lottery ticket prospects. At this rate, the return will be low but what else can they do. Framber should be on the block as well as they try to rebuild the farm. Would he bring a Bregman replacement? This team is a beating to watch.
  2. Taylor Scott should be the 7th inning guy and Pressly only pitches when the Astros are behind.
  3. 4th blown save this year - terrible
  4. I didn’t bitch about the infield being in quickly enough. It actually worked for once.
  5. A third of Brown’s pitches are middle-middle. You can’t do that at this level.
  6. Agreed - I’m hoping the Biden campaign specifically reminds Michigan voters of Trump’s views of Israel/Palestine.
  7. I learned last year that the manager has control of the lineup card. I guess Espada is Manager in Name Only?
  8. Do we have to play the worse defensive first baseman and DH the guy who can actually play the position? I don’t blame Espada for putting him in the lineup but I do blame him for not DH’ing Abreu when Singleton is going to play anyway. Fucking Morons!
  9. I can’t believe I’m typing this out, but if you want to craft doomsday scenarios where the Dotard wins, then the most likely scenario is as follows: 1. Georgia and Wisconsin are truly toss-up states. Trump only needs approximately 30,000 additional votes to flip these 2 states. This gets him to 262 electoral votes assuming Nebraska goes to winner take all. 2. Enough Arab Americans stay home to protest what’s taking place in Gaza and he wins Michigan’s 15 EVs. This is the stretch goal because he needs to overcome Biden’s 150,000 margin from 2020. Arizona and Pennsylvania look like D victories to me. Both have recently elected D governors. You can make a similar argument for Wisconsin as well. Our system sucks for allowing this kind of fuckery because he will lose the popular vote by millions again.
  10. MLB App has Brown starting tonight and Verlander tomorrow
  11. That’s in the left batters box.
  12. Does it come with the top 3 buttons missing?
  13. WTF just happened
  14. Framber’s already shaking the catcher off. He’s not bright.
  15. Why the rush to bring Abreu back? The team has been playing better since he left. At least make him get one god damn hit in AAA before bringing him back. This team is run by morons who think getting some soft-toss from Bagwell can turn back Father Time.
  16. Using Hader in a 4 run game the day before we go play a 4 game series with the division leader?
  17. Let’s go Jose - make them pay here
  18. Because the Astros are run by morons.
  19. Bregman needs to bunt here
