That’s why you bunt. Goddammit Dusty.

Our manager has been around since baseball was invented and doesn’t know when to bunt 

[Guadaloopy 10,996]

Why do I keep hoping?

GOD FUCKKING SHIT COCK CUNT BALL TWAT ASSHOLE

Between Altuve turning out of the way of a HBP with the bases loaded and Taylor Jones falling on his ass backwards trying to catch a foul pop, the Astros lost the chance to win a series against the Padres.

 

[Guadaloopy 10,996]

Straw on second with top of the order coming up.   I try not to get sucked in, but here I am. 

[Dennis Taylor 18,849]

Jones's shit better be packed up when he gets back to the clubhouse

Seriously.  This close to taking a series from the best team in the game.  

[Gourmand 7,774]

And that......is the ball game. 

[elfenix 34,331]

Tie game!

[tx 3 putt 77,258]

bwhaahahahahahahahaha

[Guadaloopy 10,996]

Seriously?!  We don’t deserve that chance. 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Lulz. Just so much fucking lulz. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

unreal.

I still feel like we're against the 8 ball though.

[Shaggy3.0 1,695]

Sisyphus aint got shit on Dusty Baker.

 

[Wulaw Horn 19,144]

To be fair to this team (and I don’t really feel like being fair because I’m fucking pissed off) we are missing 3 of our starting 9 and our starting rotation still isn’t set.

When we go Framber, LMJ, Greinke, Urquidy, Ordonez as the starting 5 and the bullpen is something like:

Garcia, Abreu, Javier, James, Presley, Paredes (I’m betting on his talent) and a couple other guys to eat innings we should be just fine. 
 

When you get to the playoffs and you only want to pitch 8 or 9 guys anyway we will be just fine. But damn if this isn’t fucking irritating, and trading Hinch for Dusty Baker is the epitome of trading down. Same for trading Clit for Lunhow. 
 

I’m pissed. But last time we had a low point after Colorado we came back strong. Hopefully this as well and we start to get guys healthy. 
 

fuuuuuuuck let’s be a hero here Tucker.

[Gourmand 7,774]

and NOW you're going to bring Garza in???????

[tx 3 putt 77,258]

this kid looks nervous 

[Gourmand 7,774]

What the fuck Dusty, you should have brought him in the seventh to start a clean inning and not now with a runner on second base. 

[elfenix 34,331]

Welp

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Welp. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

and that

 

 

is the ball game

yeah, we'd all be doing something else right now lololololol

[Wulaw Horn 19,144]

So, I posted this on the big 12 thread but 2.5 hour baseball game is beautiful. 3 is ok. 5 is an abomination before man. 
I hate this team and I hate baseball right now. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

I'm not a fire the manager guy but this game is all on Dusty Baker

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,781]

… on the bright side, Jones and Garza can split cost of the Uber ride back to Sugarland.

five run lead with nine outs to go and the bottom of the order up. Idiotic to not use a kid that the team called up three days before and hasn't pitched since May 20th. 

[Dennis Taylor 18,849]

All of Dusty Bakers wristbands better be packed up when he gets to the clubhouse

unfair to blame Garza. You can't expect a rookie with zero MLB experience to come in for extra innings with a runner on second base when your manager didn't trust him enough to use him in a 5-run game with nine outs remaining. 

[WBT 20,648]

And the last guy out of SD's bullpen that they didn't want to bring in has a 0.61 ERA.

[HtownHorn 14,757]

This is just amazing. 10 runs against this bullpen from the 8th inning on.

[HtownHorn 14,757]

Ump is ready to go home.

[Wulaw Horn 19,144]

Congrats to Garza for realizing a dream and making it to the big leagues. I’m a sucker for that story every time. Now kindly go fuck yourself Garza. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

we literally gave two wins to the Padres. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,781]

Anxious to hear how bad Yuli’s injured finger is that it would keep him from being a defensive replacement for Jones in the 9th …

that's an excellent point

[tx 3 putt 77,258]

padres have 19 runs after the 8th inning this series 

[Guadaloopy 10,996]

I’m out for a bit for mental well-being.

Or play Diaz at 1st because he also would have made the catch, you should never DH the primary backup at every position outside of catcher.

This is becoming a Crane issue. Either cut bait on the season and trade off the few assets you have, or spend the money and stop employing AAAA players and end of the line relievers.

Happier times:

 

[tx 3 putt 77,258]

on the flip side, framber and odorizzi will be a huge pick me up to this team. urquidy is next up

[WBT 20,648]

Yeah, Odorizzi's good start is very encouraging.  He looked pretty shitty before going on the IL.

[Wulaw Horn 19,144]

Question- what’s wrong with Yordqn?  Like what body part?

Brantley- what body part? 
Yuli- what body part?

anyone got an idea on how long.
