What the fuck is he doing out there .gif

[Dennis Taylor 18862]

Jesus Titty Fucking Christ you finally get on base and you pull that bullshit!!??

[cabowabo 4514]

Fuck Abreu.  

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

Peaky Dusty to send a 45 year old Cuban on a hit and run. 

[David Dennison 18946]

Juggernaut.

[cabowabo 4514]

Maldonado should not be batting here. Thanks Dusty.

I'm about to the point of thinking Baker shouldn't be in the dugout to let him. 

[David Dennison 18946]

Every time that happens, a member of the press should ask, "Why didn't you pinch hit for Maldonado there?"

[Mo Horn 8854]

This team is really hard to watch right now. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Dubon 1b, Altuve, Pena, Bregs, Diaz, Tucker, Meyers, Julks, Alvarez DH.  - should be the everyday lineup with Chas subbing OF.  These are easily the best hitters.

[runthebone 8036]

Fuck Abreu, fuck Maldonado, and fuck letting Maldonado hit.

It wasn't a hit and run, he fucking fell asleep

They are never going to bench Abreu. He should be at the bottom of the lineup, though.

He's not making the most painfully obvious moves, it's getting ridiculous.  

 

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

Team is softer than baby shit. 975 reported this morning that Bregs and Peña sat yesterday due to “asthma” from the wildfires. 
 

Patiently waiting for the Dusty “we’re playing for the postseason” quote when asked about the division.

may the trend continue, god willing. 

[Mo Horn 8854]

That's why you run it out every time. The next few days are gonna stay ugly. They need a day off. Pray for rain in Cleveland. 

[David Dennison 18946]

I'm praying for a lineup that gives this team the best chance to win.

 

[Mo Horn 8854]

Another pathetic inning at the plate

[David Dennison 18946]

It must be the 8th inning.

[tx 3 putt 77395]

Heart of the line up, do or die 

[Mo Horn 8854]

Now Jake makes a play

What a shitty last 3 games.

[Mo Horn 8854]

Anemic 9th by the heart of the lineup. Another day, another shitty loss. Getting to be the norm the past few days. 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Seriously, now. How many offenses in MLB are worse than this? Can't be many. I mean, even with 44 we're just not that good.

Lost the game, lost the series, lost Yordan Alvarez, lost more ground to the Rangers, but other than that it was a good day of baseball.
Oh and tomorrow LMJ has his MRI that certainly will provide positive news!

Edited June 9, 2023 by perfectchaos007

[WBT 20662]

+1 run differential for the series.

Alas

Today needs to be the day that decisions are made about first base.

This happens maybe once a week. Dusty actively reduces the probability of winning almost every day with his lineups.

Apparently Brown thinks that’s fine.

It was cool when the Astros were an analytically savvy franchise.

Dusty - Abreu was 2 for 4 today. He's starting to find his stroke. I'm moving him up in the lineup tomorrow.

Doh... meant abreu

[Dennis Taylor 18862]

2 games under .500 when not playing the A's or Cubs. The sweep of the Braves looks like a major anomaly now

[David Dennison 18946]

The Jake Meyers derp gets worse the more you watch it. 

[Chuckie Finster 22728]

Fire Jeff Bagwell?

Astros World Series hopes dashed by Jeff Bagwell. What is this, the 90s?

[David Dennison 18946]

I just tortured myself by looking at Yuli's numbers.
