Safe !!!!

[Honeysucklerose 987]

He’s safe

[Lat22 4010]

His fingers were in the air. 

[Stros121 4]

Wow we suck again!!

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Did I mention that I hate hope.  

[cabowabo 4484]

Perfect throw.

[Honeysucklerose 987]

This team blows right now

[UTHornFan014 710]

Chas needed to slide farther outside

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fucking Benentindi 

[perfectchaos007 6635]

We need Bregman and Tucker back

[Hornsbay22 467]

Can we get a real manager next year?

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Bregman sucks. Hasn’t been the same since he apologized for carrying his bat around the diamond in the playoffs.

[tx 3 putt 76906]

Sacrifice a live chicken 

[tx 3 putt 76906]

Royals catcher wasn’t sure about that out

god she sucks worse than the Astros in August 

thanks for sharing!

Baker should be fired tonight. There is no excuse for this team to continuing to underperform against shitty teams. He was gifted a much better bullpen and still doesn't know how to use it correctly. There should be little confidence that this senile old fuck will make the correct moves in the playoffs.

bit of an overreaction.

On a positive note, we're still 2.5 games up.

[Planet Houston 4930]

Dusty is a real problem. There is no other way around it. 

[Planet Houston 4930]

[Js1 85312]

Shitting the bed against shit teams. How very Tom Herman 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[Gourmand 7774]

It really is infuriating how shitty they play against shitty teams. Wasting opportunity after opportunity to put distance between themselves and the A's.

.. or at least wash his wrist bands and get some new rubber gloves.

Let's be those guys and start making a list.

Brad Ausmus.  Jeff or Brian Bannister.  Sam Fuld.  Don Mattingly.  Josh Bard.  Brandon Hyde.  Raul Ibanez.  Rob Thomson.

It’s probable that Brandon Hyde has been mentally scarred by his time with the Stockholm … err … Baltimore Orioles.

[Texas St. Armadillos 1381]

I wish Bagwell would have possessed more of a desire/ability to be a manager.  Not to mention stamina.  I love the way he calls games when he sits in for Blummer.  He wouldn't put up with much shit either.  Unfortunately, that manager-type seems to be headed out of baseball.

I'd have to imagine that Joe Espada would be the Vegas favorite right now.

This year's team is pretty annoying.

under reaction imo.  He should never have been hired and certainly not extended 1 week into his first year.  He's a clown who, if he ever was a good skipper, has been passed by in this game.

Brantley, last time I checked was 34, not 64.  Dusty sure handles him like a fragile doll.

He's got an entire career where he's basically made of glass. The last 3 years with the Astros is the healthiest he's ever been. I'm sure that has something to do with his treatment. Of all the things I think Dusty is shitty at I have little to no beef with his handling of Brantley.  

[tx 3 putt 76906]

let's break this losing streak before heading home !

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

If there's one thing this offense loves, it's an afternoon start. 🙃

[elguapo 4586]

I ask Jobu to take fear from bats

[Mo Horn 8832]

Watching Myers live last night, my impression is that he's the real deal. Is he the next George Springer only time will tell, but if he keeps going like he's started, we don't need to worry about CF for a few years. 

[Lat22 4010]

I think he looks uncomfortable every time he catches a fly ball.

[Gourmand 7774]

 

So he's Brooks Raley.

At least Brooks Raley usually doesn't give up HRs those righties.

 Agreed, and hopefully he'll get more comfortable. I was referring to him at the plate. 

[HtownHorn 14677]

The ball explodes off his bat. He should be the lead off hitter.

You're right.  I'm just pissed off at our recent play, and Dusty is as easy a punching bag there is.
