Hold up, Senga has a lower ERa than JP. Someone can't do math in the graphics department.

Maybe there’s something to work with Watkins ?

 

[runthebone 7994]

So...Maldonado is hitting?

[UTexasFight 9463]

2 run HR

or inning ending GIDP

FUCK, come on, Altuve.  Don't be a Jose A.

[David Dennison 18905]

Out with a whimper.

[Guadaloopy 10973]

That wasn’t all that much fun.  Get ‘em tomorrow, boys.

I can’t remember an Astros team this depleted by injury. Couple that with our healthy players underperforming and that adds up to a season where we probably don’t make the playoffs

Just remember Altuve was figuring it out and the fucking manager "rested" him for a game. 1-15 since then. Dusty has absolutely no feel for when to ride players coming into hot streaks.

can't get a hit off a 7.80 ERA pitcher over 2 innings.

Glad I went to sleep instead of watching 

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Astros were 1 for 21 (.048) on balls in play last night.

The clubhouse needs to sacrifice a chicken

We seemed to hit a fuckton of grounders yesterday it seemed like

Theyre just trolling us now

I'd rather just have Siri back

Dusty still trolling.

Boy he hates Chas. 

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Fuck Dusty.

[David Dennison 18905]

Someone needs to ask Dana Brown why the FO is OK with this.

That lineup is atrocious.

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Just so we’re all clear here…Dusty is sitting Chas McCormick while starting Corey Julks and Bligh Madris.

He plays Julks as frequently (if not more) as he plays Chas. Julks has a career 90 wRC+.

Madris has a 92 wRC+ this year…in triple-motherfucking-A. He starts at DH. Read that all again.

Meanwhile, Chas has a 120 wRC+ this year and 112 for his career. He sits today (and many days), for a team without its best hitter, which has been struggling to score runs.

Dusty has to fucking go. We aren’t even trying to win. I’ve never seen this much effort devoted to ensuring that a bunch of quad-A players get significant playing time for what is supposed to be a good team.

I want to know why the front office is OK with it.

Right now.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Fake a heart attack and have him retire. Don’t care how you do it just get it done

I’ve been saying it all season, but everything about this club has been askew since the WS ended.

I’m with you - why are we all ok with letting Dusty sit he good players and play the bad players? It really is that simple.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

It’s almost like that woman owner from Major League bought the team and wants them to lose. Bad lineups, crappy signings, shitty contracts…next thing we’ll hear is Yordan isn’t really hurt and just taken out of the lineup as a precaution so he doesn’t get hurt. In about 10 days we will possibly be 10+ games out. We’re too good to tank and not good enough to overcome all this fuckery. This team is not helping me deal with the heat. Cool drinks and the Astros used to be a distraction. Now it’s gas on embers. 

[David Dennison 18905]

What they put out on a daily basis makes no sense.

[tx 3 putt 76987]

[runthebone 7994]

You know that pervert Berman would call him Irish Potato Bligh Madris.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Great start

[Mo Horn 8849]

Julks with the great catch

[Limp Brisket 546]

Wow, Julks is a ball player.

[WBT 20587]

great catch

[Mo Horn 8849]

Julks not getting that one. Playing from behind again

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Why do we keep pitching this dude

Who else are we gonna pitch?

[WBT 20587]

Not bringing that one back.

Someone make it make sense that we sent Bielak down to keep Blanco in the rotation.  Not that either are great but why are we going with the 29 year old who is just now cracking the bigs?

[David Dennison 18905]

Our roster is FUBAR.

[Mo Horn 8849]

Well fuck. Blanco not fooling anyone

[runthebone 7994]

Well, I am going to have some free time soon.

[tx 3 putt 76987]

Damn 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

A Minute Maid peanut vendor?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

My evening just opened up.

[Mo Horn 8849]

Nothing like shitting the bed on a national broadcast. 

[patrickdrinksbeer 791]

My evening just opened up.

don’t you want to see what bligh madris can do at the plate?

[HtownHorn 14698]

I am sure rvm will come along shortly to remind everyone that Blanco is a talented MLB caliber pitcher. This game is likely over.

[Limp Brisket 546]

College WS is on, too.
