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

Yeah I think he will be eventually

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

I get it. I hate Dusty as our manager. I like Dusty the person. He should be sitting on a beach somewhere enjoying retirement. If you are going to put him in a uniform it should be as the wise old uncle helping a younger manager along (think Yogi Berra). Having him skipper the ship is just sooooooo stupid. 

[Scraps 13561]

Already losing.....Dusty's fault for starting Garcia  

[Scraps 13561]

Meyers with another hit 

[henrygandorf 29189]

i know meyers is hitting 7th today because our lineup is lol, but i want to go on record with hating him hitting 8th, especially if we ever want him to attempt to steal a base.

often over the past week or two, i've seen him on 1st base with 2 outs, just knowing he won't ever steal out of the fear of leading off the next inning with maldonado.  hit your fast guy 9th.  there's a reason people do it.

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

Every day that Jacob Wilson is on this roster is a day that Click needs to donate his paycheck.

[Gourmand 7774]

Still makes little sense to me that the Astros wasted a roster spot on Jacob Wilson instead of elevating CJ Hinojosa

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

$500k fine the next time Altuve tries to bunt.

i don’t have that kind of money. 

[David Dennison 18854]

This is a bad baseball team right now.

Figure it out.

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

Not gonna do the research, but can only assume Nicky Lopez is a MVP candidate based off of this series.

[elfenix 34230]

326 plate appearances without a home run this year.

You can’t make it up.

This has to be the absolute low point of the entire season, right? I've never seen a team look so lifeless against such dogshit pitching. Every Royals starter has an ERA over 5.

[Hornsbay22 467]

Someone get this fat ass off the field

Yes. This is the nadir.

[Mo Horn 8832]

At least Correa seems to have broken out of his slump. 

[Gourmand 7774]

ALEDMYS!

Smacked that double.

[Gourmand 7774]

Well done Chas

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

Hey, nice to battle back in this game. 

Don't love having to get 4 innings from this bullpen without Graveman.

Lulz at this team executing right now.

[tx 3 putt 76906]

I’ve been an Astro fan my whole life, never seen so many Astros thrown out at the plate in one series 

[HtownHorn 14677]

Finally got the sac fly.

[WBT 20561]

I've got your lovelady right here

[APMP 688]

Really want this win

[Scraps 13561]

Really need this win, since Oak is about to win 

[Mo Horn 8832]

 If we come up short of winning the west, it will be because of these series against horrible teams. They did the same thing last year, and then it was like they took things seriously in the playoffs, and came within 1 game. It's like they really don't care about anything until the playoffs. I saw zero energy last night.

If we come up short in the division, we might not make the playoffs.

[Mo Horn 8832]

I just checked, and Presley hasn't been in a game since the 13th. That's a long time for a closer. I'm expecting him to not be sharp when he does pitch.

Good thing we didn't pitch him or Graveman on Tuesday when we could have won that game, and then pitched Graveman for 2 innings yesterday in a loss. I swear Dusty is almost as bad as Bo Porter. 

[WBT 20561]

Following on gamecast...why did the Royals just give up the dh?

[Gourmand 7774]

Sparks and Ford talking up the name "Richard Lovelady"

[Hornsbay22 467]

This team is lacking competitive spirit.  I'm ready to trade all of them.

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

Might have to take a break from this team for a while if we get walked off today.

[Gourmand 7774]

wtf are you doing Chas

[Gourmand 7774]

literally EVERYTHING going against us right now

[David Dennison 18854]

Good grief.

They pinch hit their catcher, and Perez was at DH.

Edited August 19, 2021 by HtownHorn

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

so, there isn't the slightest doubt we are getting walked off today is there?

[Smax 3800]

And the last out throw was ...

[perfectchaos007 6634]

I don’t know our record in extra innings this year but I know it’s not good

[WBT 20561]

Fake manfredball.  Just the ticket for us to break out of this.

[WBT 20561]

Buenos Diaz

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

IF we don't put up a crooked number here I'm going to start breaking shit. 

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

watch us win this game by 5 now and finish the series 1-3 while outscoring them or something stupid.

we close the season with many games vs. the A's  <<<<<< this will be why we win or lose the division

if we'd have gone 3-1 like we should have the A's would be 5 games back in the loss column and on the way to irrelevancy.  

[elfenix 34230]

nice AB, rook

[tx 3 putt 76906]

a meyer double would be nice
