Huh, maybe rolling with the skeeters pitcher was a poor choice?

But he’s 2 feet away from being in a tie game!

Blum/Kalas questioning Dusty a lot in this DH today

very interesting 

[Guadaloopy 10926]

I hate that I keep watching and that they keep tricking me into hoping for something good to happen.  I’m a junkie chasing a rush.  

[Guadaloopy 10926]

 Back to within a run!

[WBT 20422]

Battle of the bullpens now.  What could go wrong?

[UTexasFight 9380]

Laureano, get your ass back in the box and quit giving Yuli Covid 

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Runs, please!

[Fozzz 152]

The Astros are going to win.

Straw can't even run the bases correctly. Frustrating

Especially when running the bases is 90% of the reason you are on the roster.

I’m scared to ask what you think the other 10% is

[perfectchaos007 6596]

We split the day! 

[UTexasFight 9380]

2 games up on the M’s. Suck on that Seattle!

 

meanwhile, Yankees are a half game up on Baltimore for the 8 seed.

[elfenix 34171]

Feels like forever since an Astros win

Fielding, hitting, running.  You can’t stay in an MLB roster only being able to do one thing. It can be 90% of the reason, but you have to have minimal skills in the other two.  Of course, he’s a -0.1 WAR guy, so his skills are less than minimal.

[Scraps 13542]

So they can win...i am kind of shocked

[clapclapclap 9000]

Finally ended our 16-game losing streak.

[FondrenRoad 4378]

It was that short?

Bregs not in the lineup tonight.

Tags says it is just easing him back in thankfully

[UTexasFight 9380]

So Dusty Baker subscribes to the Cliff Gustafson school of handling starting pitching and the AJ Hinch school of handling All Star bats.

got it.

I would be surprised if Click is in over his head.  He was VP for baseball ops with the Rays, one of the best orgs in baseball, for three years before being hired here.  I'm not expecting him to be as proactive and as creative as Luhnow in his management of the org but he should be at least competent.  

That’s certainly my hope. And the direction I would guess, but who knows. 
don’t understand why he picked up Dusty’s option on day 3 of the season but beyond that I will give him the 2020 offseason before I bitch and moan.

SPRINGER DINGER

[Guadaloopy 10926]

George wasted no time getting upset.  

[Scraps 13542]

Blum talking about ball not flying as if we haven't hit 30 warning track shots already this series

[Fozzz 152]

I like Garcia’s delivery and he has major league stuff for sure. This is why it’s insane they aren’t giving Conine, Dubin, and Torres a shot.  What harm is there in seeing what they can do given how awful the dregs of the pen are?  Also, why was Ivey shut down for the entire season for a positive COVID test in early June?

[WBT 20422]

Yeah, based on Garcia's first two appearances, what the hell were they waiting for?  He's been great.

[Scraps 13542]

Helluva start by Garcia

[Guadaloopy 10926]

WOW!!! CORREA!

[Guadaloopy 10926]

My wife just accused me of being overdramatic in my response to the Correa play.
