  1. I want to murder this umpire.
  2. Blums ready to fight.
  3. Yall need to respect his process. also- Hader shouldn’t pitch until it’s a save situation. Not sure Espada is smart enough to get that.
  4. The fact that we don’t have robot umps infuriates me.
  5. I just texted buddy felt a back foot slider hit by pitch coming. He missed that by 3 feet.
  6. Hunter should have 11 or 12 wins through 15 starts. Some shitty run support and horrific bullpen behind him.
  7. This ump is garbage. Also- we ain’t winning this game. If only.
  8. I don't see any particular reason the open stance would help his actual numbers overperform his expected numbers- unless the point of that is to hit more pull side flyballs then, maybe? I think he went from an average hitter to an above average hitter this year, and I think he did it from controlling the strike zone. I think he's had good fortune that makes his "above average" hitting look elite- but maybe he's learned some sort of hack like Paredes and Altuve where we should expect that going forward. Note- it's pretty unusual for someone to always and consistently outperform their expected stats. Pena's expected stats are good. The actual are great. Hopefully they don't converge too much.
  9. I think Yainer could be the answer at 1B when we give up on Walker if the other guy gets ready. Like- maybe 2027 Yainer moves to 1B most days and back up catcher for 40 or 50. I think there's a ton of talent in Yainers bat and I think it comes out- but maybe not. I don't mean 750 ops- that's pretty much a guarantee to my way of thinking- I mean 850 or 900 and knocking on the door of MVP if he does that at catcher. Like- Pena type year this year.
  10. Deep dive on batting order and whose getting "lucky", who we should expect to outperform their expected stats, whose getting "unlucky" and who we should expect to underperform their expected stats. Enjoy. Read, subscribe, share etc. https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/whose-lucky-and-who-isnt-94da0214bb76
  11. Ha, no. Jim "Clutch fans". Everyone in my phone is a last name of profession or where i know them from. 58 people with last name "Surly" in my phone. 100+ with last name "realtor"
  12. This is the same dude that had Hader warming up with 2 outs in the b9 up 11-4. The explanation is he’s a dumbass.
  13. Called it 2 minutes before it happened.
  14. I’m more mad that we fucked around so much this game and are going to lose. Terrible situational baseball 2 innings in a row.
  15. He has only given up runs to the Rays in his entire professional career. they playing 4D chess boys. He’s a national fucking treasure. This is the worst timeline.
  16. Dumb that he didn’t steal on the first pitch of the Paredes AB. You don’t string hits together against a guy that good. dont care what his era is.
  17. Yall are insane. He’s pitched 33 times and given up runs in 3 of them. respect the process.
  18. Worst AB from Cam in a month. Worst route from Jake ever.
  19. Good day to gain 1/2 a game on the Tigers and Mariners and a full game on the Rangers. Let's go out and club that mid lefty like a baby seal like we do all non all star lefties.
  20. 3 Putt. Probably a couple others.
  21. Nah. I don't think there was a right or wrong choice. Baseball got us but leaving Greinke in, brining in Harris or bringing in Cole all made sense to me and I deemed them all equally likely more or less. They decided Cole only got a clean inning before hand. Greinke was on fumes. Harris had been really good all year and that was always his spot. All made sense.
  22. Don't care, mocked Maldy. That fucking ass hole was the equivalent of Dumbo's magic feather for Dusty. Fuck that shit- I want 2023 and the world series ring we pissed away worshiping at the altar of fatass back. The only thing worse than that in the Astros fandom was losing the WS in 2019 with the best baseball team I will ever see in my life assembled, and then losing the architect of that team and our only non paint huffing moron of a manager (since Garner anyway) 3 months later. I still wake up in the middle of the night screaming nooooooooooo whenever that shit worms it's way into my nightmares.
  23. Astros hot (and sort of not) lately as we do a temperature check on where we are at right now: https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/temperature-check-fa9b884dba61
