Had a delayed flight from San Antonio to DFW. Many of us were fucked on our connections in Dallas. Dude sitting next to me was about 75 and had a Phillies cap on. He saw me use my phone and the Ap to catch the next flight for Amarillo.

’Hey, I gotta get to Terminal D, can I make it?’

’ Follow me, and I’llget you on the right train at Skylink’

’ you Texas boys are always nice.’

’ I wouldn’t mind my Astros playing your squad again.’

Then he kind of gave me a dirty look. ‘ Damn son, I guess I’ll pull for ole Altuve now.’

We both had a laugh and he went on his way in the right direction.  Love how sports bring us together.

Go Arlington.

He either truly believes maldonado gives us the best chance to win; or

He is intentionally doing this to establish his aloha dominance over the organization.  
either way it’s absurd he has a job, and total control. Jim Crane did this people. Blame Jimbo. 

Meaning Dusty's either (a) an idiot; or (b) a malevolent idiot. It's more excusable if he's not outright trying to cost us games, but he's an idiot either way. And at this point, seems Crane can be painted with the same brush.

lllllleeessssssssssssssssssssssssssggggggooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[ChickenSandwich 9853]

Can the front office fake a positive covid test for Dusty?  Send his ass home for two weeks at least?

[tx 3 putt 77535]

So dusty needs to die because the starters want to pitch to maldanado over Diaz ?

I’ll guess that no manager makes a line up based on ‘WaR’

No. But he needs coach less or more, depending upon desired result. 

[UTexasFight 9547]

And stanek finally gets back and has a kid…and is gone again?

so much excitement having JP and Diaz, to…

Urquidy, Maldy and probably martinez at some point tonight 

[HtownHorn 14786]

Pittsburg, St. Louis, and Milwaukee need to win tonight. That helps the Astros.

Pitt is up 3-0 on the Marlins. Milwaukee has nothing to play for, and they are tied 0-0 with the Cubs going into the B4. Cin is up 7-0 on the Cardinals.

Fuck the Pirates. Gave up 4 runs in the top of the 8th.

Did we move back to the National League when I wasn’t looking?

I’m at Brewers game. Up 3-0 vs Cubs

[Rip76 4963]

Need to score now!

[perfectchaos007 6677]

"If Urquidy is going to get right, he needs to throw strikes"

Urquidy opens the game throwing 3 straight balls and walks the hitter

[HtownHorn 14786]

Carroll going to steal 2nd and 3rd off of Maldonado.

[tx 3 putt 77535]

[perfectchaos007 6677]

The 2 walks didn't hurt Urquidy this inning

[Overlord 366]

I hope these “emergencies” aren’t going to be a problem in October. 

[Overlord 366]

Even JP’s doubles look ugly.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but that seems pretty heartless.

I know this has already been addressed. But I am intrigued and want to know, and understand  

What is your reasoning behind such a assessment?

 

 

[Dennis Taylor 18876]

I think that Gurriel is Yuli's son not his brother

The Dbacks could clinch if things fell right in those games thus would sit some players/pitchers

Let’s take a couple of examples. 

If your mother or father die, that qualifies as an emergency. 
 

If your grandmother or grandfather die, well, that’s not an emergency. They were old. People die when they get old.

This is, of course, all predicated on whether it is a playoff baseball game or not.

And I think we all here agree, that these final 3 games should be treated as playoff games. 

That’s what grandma would want anyway.

That is a very reasonable response.  I see your point. Thank you. 

[UTHornFan014 710]

Don't like how this is trending

[Rip76 4963]

Get 3 here.

[David Dennison 18951]

So we're doing this in one of the most important games of the season.

Cool. Cool.

[Overlord 366]

Urquidy is taking care of business. He’s working what he’s got. Hopefully we can get a couple more from him. 

[cabowabo 4514]

Nice baserunning. 

[Wulaw Horn 19153]

Why Dusty Baker?

maldonado terrible

play Diaz, asshole. 
 

That’s my haiku for the night.

Cubans going to Cuban 

[cabowabo 4514]

The longer this game goes scoreless, the more I’d like to see the Rangers hang a crooked number on the Mariners. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Bile….that’s what they look like.

[David Dennison 18951]

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Quite a job by Urquidy. Clutch when we needed it. 

[Overlord 366]

Impressive. 
 

[Overlord 366]

Third time around.

Go get ‘em boys. 

[Wulaw Horn 19153]

What do we have like 3 hits?  
This team is so fucking annoying. I love them but fuck, they are annoying and piss me off all the time. 
Are the Astros my children?

[David Dennison 18951]

That is just awful.

[Rip76 4963]

Wow.

Sat on 2 pitches.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Wtf Yordan?

[UTHornFan014 710]

You know we aren't serious if Yordan gonna stare at two fastballs down the middle

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Sweet. Buttons up

[David Dennison 18951]
