Question - will Yordan and brantley be in the line up every day ?

brown - nope. Season is a marathon. Get healthy and then chip away at the rangers lead. We don’t need guys out of gas in sept. Braves were down 10 games and ran down the Mets. Don’t panic

 

The problem is the Braves went out and traded for a brand new OF at the deadline because of all the injuries and their manager played them. Brown could do something similar but Dusty Baker would still play the same fucking shitty players he has now.

That's why holding out hope for a magical run probably isn't reasonable this year.  If you can't or won't trade for replacements, they just have too many injuries and holes to deal with.

They just have to get in which I still feel comfortable they’ll do. Everyone already knows the postseason is basically a coin flip.

Even as the 6 seed is fine, in fact probably preferred if you aren’t going to catch the rangers.

6 seed plays the shitty twins (or other shitty AL central champ) in a best 2 of 3.

then you get the rangers in a best of 5.

then the rays (or AL East wild card).

A lot of similarities to 2020 when we were stuck in neutral for the entire (albeit shortened) season and ended up 1 win away from the World Series.

Madris and Singelton and the OF we had last year in Sugarland that hit like 28 bombs, and players like them, are all the same after they’ve reached a certain age and shown what they are as a player. Tarzan in AAA and Jane in the show. To keep recycling them is a waste of time and space. 

That being said I hope he proves me wrong and hits 3 home runs tonight. Or even a soft flare over second. Anything. I’ll take that L.

Who the fuck names their kid Bligh?

A couple that met at the Fremont Hotel in Vegas and whose dad is named Style.

must be a Southeast Asia thing as the googles tell me his dad is from Peleliu

Why in the fuck to mid 20s players like Chas and Julks ever need a single day off?

Every single Astros "fan" that defends Dusty in this is being a dumbass.  

Bligh should be a guy brought in after you've had 3 injuries in a game.  It's inexcusable that Dusty ever starts him over Julks, much lest Chas.  

Same goes for Martin over Diaz.  You are in a "something big is going to have to go right" season and you are wasting Diaz's development behind the plate.

It's normal for a ballplayer while the team is going well (this was in 2022) to say that his manager is a paint chip eating moron. I'm shocked that you could find a positive quote from Bregman in 2022 about Dusty. Shocked.

We're like watching a 8 year old coach pitch team with all the balls Maldonado lets go to the backstop.

Guess it doesn't matter when he calls the HR pitch right after

They said MaShitty has the most passed balls in the league. I thought we put up with his hitting because he is a defensive specialist.

The only way Dusty doesn't start Maldy is if the front office trades him. We could probably get a decent player for him. It needs to happen

Get a decent player for Maldonado? I'd take a box of cracker jacks

In the midst of bemoaning our bad luck with injured starters, I'll add that Javier, Brown and Framber not being nearly as bulletproof as expected is no ray of sunshine, either.

Nobody would trade us a flaming bag of dogshit for him. He needs to be DFA’d.
