This reeks of the stubborn summer run with Meyers  when everyone could see he was colder than liquid nitrogen. 

Yep. I think that was FO related as well too if we are being honest.

Please?!? Have anyone else come to the bargaining stage yet. I sweater got.

[MirrOlure 14625]

That Tulsa show looks pretty fucking good

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Ya, great thing we turned over that lineup eh?

[mrhorn 1376]

Take some fucking pitches man

[Dnaguy 11772]

The hitting coach needs to be shot for the Astros.

Wtf are we doing up there.

The Astros look like they haven’t done their homework and are taking a test ‘winging it’

Phillies are dumber but studied and are fucking prepared.

Almost makes me miss McCarver. And I loathed him.

Are we ever going to score again?

which is worse? Smolz on the Astros World Series broadcast or all the johnnycomelatelys in the Astros thread during the World Series?

That doesn't really make any sense in a game that is 0-0 where the Astros have had the best chance to score

Neither are as bad as the die hard Dusty defenders

IDK. Which ones are those? I haven't paid that much attention to who's here a lot.

Who are you calling out? It’s a fucking season/game thread. What do you expect? It’s an emotional roller coaster. A UT football game thread is 10X worse.

i am a Dusty defender, insofar as "defending the manager" is stating the obvious that games are won/lost by the players on the field and managers have fuckall to do with it. 

Lance McCullers sucked dick last night and nothing Dusty did or didn't do changes that fact or the fact that the Astros didn't score a run. 

[TexArcher 37508]

Hey, how about a little less bickering and a little more solidarity, you motherfuckers??

nobody in particular? I think it goes without saying that a lot of us who've spent a lot of time in this thread feel the feeling. Ya know?

Enough with the negative waves.

I’m not a Dusty defender at all and wanted him gone 2 years ago. But you’re absolutely right in that it we can’t score we can’t win. I was literally arguing with relatives last night who wanted LMJ pulled after one inning and blamed it on dusty for leaving him in too long. They’re fucking idiots. Lol.

The feeling of what, though? Nobody else seems to know who you're talking about. You might be right, though, idk. It'd just be nice to have a little more info.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Smoltz doesn’t know the difference between feet and yards. And he’s a golfer. 

[Gourmand 7774]

I said fuck it and am fine with the 38 second delay listening to Ford and Sparks over this babbling idiot Smoltz.

Thought y'all should know.  

 

[wood 11131]

Anyway, go Javi. Get this fucker out.

[Guadaloopy 10921]

Fortunate call on that foul ball. Could have gone either way.

It's basically an if the shoe fits statement. Also the feeling of going through a whole season with a team versus people flock to support at the end.

I know I do. The inmates are running the asylum. 

[Gourmand 7774]

I hate Marsh even more now than when he was with the shitty Rangels

[Macklemore 2870]

Nice job Javier. Let’s get a fucking run.

[Dnaguy 11772]

Nice.

[TexArcher 37508]

Well done, Javier.

RUNS.  Multiple.  Let's go.

[UTexasFight 9379]

Why don’t they drill in to our guys to leave the glove on a guy until they call time out?
I get it’s not always possible but that glove should be glued to the runner every time

And the funny thing is that there have to be people that he works for who think he's absolutely fucking fantastic at what he does. It's like the GM who takes Baker Mayfield #1 overall with Lamar Jackson & Josh Allen on the board.

It’s more like flock to bitch at the end.

Fundamental baseball was lost when analytics became a thing.

It died when the DH was added to the NL.
