Holy shit.  It’s not even an off day, people.  
 

Anyone wanna talk about the runner on second in extras?

I’d rather we just end in a tie than change how the game is played. I hate it less today than I did yesterday.

Is it ok to bitch about the manager making as decision that is likely to cost .02 wins per game and acknowledge that it’s both not a big deal but also infuriating because it doesn’t have to be that way?  

Sure, of course, but that perspective is the key aspect that imo gets lost in the volume and tone of the bitching.

And I also think it's worth noting that for all of Dusty Baker's clubhouse chemistry positives and his experience in the game, I believe a not-so-insignificant chunk of his critics are motivated by ageism (and um,  other stuff) at a guy like AJ Hinch doesn't have to face. Every manager gets shit on by his team's fanbase from time to time, but man some of the Dusty hate really makes me wonder......

Fare the well, Uncle Mike.

That's most certainly a wrap on his time as an Astro, and decent chance on his MLB career as well. He'll be 36 next year coming off labral surgery (same one Myers is still apparently recovering from), has 14 seasons under his belt and has right at $100M in career earnings.

Welp, rolled the dice on two older guys in Gurriel and Brantley and didn’t win either toss, which sucks. 
Congrats to Uncle Mike for a great career. Best of luck in all his future endeavors. Thanks for the memories.

Won on the 1st roll last year. Rolled craps on the 2nd one.

No doubt. The win last year was big enough to offset the loss this year imo. 
Same could be said about Castro imo.

That double play he turned against NYY was worth every penny they paid him. Times he stopped and sign for us, he was always very polite, engaging, a nice humble dude.

Meyers' abysmal wRC+ this season is *still* better than Brinson's career average. Hard pass.

Didn’t he do that same shit everywhere? Tear up AAA and then face plant in the majors? Unless you think his career .199 average in the majors is sexy

Got to give him a chance to get above the Mendoza line!

Lewis Brinson is apparently raking at Sugar Land if Jake doesn't pick it up 

The Astros have 2 or 3 guys in AAA that could replace the nothing that Jake Meyers is right now. Shit, he’s splitting time with a guy that probably a worse player than he is. Both of those guys at the quintessential AAAA player.
