Two 4-pitch walks to the 9-hitter tonight.  

[tx 3 putt 78999]

ass kicking 

and damn, brown started out on fire 

[Mo Horn 8977]

Yea we're done here

[David Dennison 19593]

Monday stings even more now.

[Scraps 13822]

Let mushitski keep going then send him down for a fresh arm.

[cabowabo 4697]

We don’t have any options other than Parker Mushinski?  What a fucking joke.

Yes we should have just brought in Javier

[Limp Brisket 549]

I guess I’ll finish this beer and hope Shitskinski doesn’t throw it into the train.  He’s a burner bum.

Well we weren’t beating anyone with this offense. While Dubon regresses back to the mean, we need Altuve starting as many games as possible 

[Wishbone 4967]

This is not our standard. By that, I mean…this is not our standard. Jeez man.

Yainer Diaz gonna pitch tonight.

if so, the surly thread will be crying for him to pitch every other night 

[YChang 3584]

What a stupid game

[Guadaloopy 11162]

Just gotta remember that Dusty is managing for 17 games in 17 days and the bullpen is already taxed.   This is a necessary reset of the pen.   That’s no excuse for the bats, though.  

[Scraps 13822]

8 more of those

7 more

[Wulaw Horn 19607]

I’m not watching- did Maldonado call a good game? 

[UTexasFight 9842]

Member that time we scored like 15 runs in 2 innings against the Twins?

I member

If those dumb pitchers would just throw what he calls!

first two innings were great, then brown couldn't find the plate. odd start

[tx 3 putt 78999]

epic bat fail there

[Scraps 13822]

Announcers not knowing ground rules for their home park should be immediate firing

If Dusty wants to credit the catchers for everything, he should be asked why Maldy is ruining Brown and if they'll go back to Diaz now

They keep doubling down on the dumb.  

[Guadaloopy 11162]

You’re wrong Kalas.  A ball can be caught off of the rafters in fair territory for an out.   Following that logic, a ball must land in fair territory after hitting the rafter to be a hit.  If it hits rafters fair, but lands in foul territory, it’s foul.  This is not hard, genius.  

[Guadaloopy 11162]

Hate losing the season series to these scrubs.  

[tx 3 putt 78999]

Brown needs to bounce back from this one, we're depending heavily on his starts 

[tx 3 putt 78999]

now im curious if they throw blanco tomorrow

As long as maldy catches we are fine. 

[tx 3 putt 78999]

he looks like a surly poster trying to throw a ball. hope he heals up asap ...

 

[Scraps 13822]

Y'all think last night was bad....it is only going to get worse.

I am going to the 4 game series @ Toronto next week and my away record is very very bad. I think i am 9-15 with 3 being my first 3 games @ oakland when we swept them so 6-15 not counting that trip.

So expect a BJ sweep

Jealous you’re getting up to Toronto. That’s high on my list.

but like you, my road record is abysmal.  (I blame that Cincy/NY trip in 2019 that I think I remember you did like me) 
eyeing a trip to Detroit in August so sorry ahead of time for losing that series

The Skydome sucks as far as venues go. Comerica is a much nicer park

Such an abysmal stretch in an amazing season. I think of those series along with the father's day game against the Jays that proceeded them when I need to remind myself that even great teams have stretches of shitty baseball.

[runthebone 8380]

My road record is fantastic because I often go to Astros-A's games.

World Series road record is 2-0 (2019).

[Scraps 13822]

Highs of 70 lows in mid 50s don't suck though

Yep. Luckily i skipped out on 1 Yankees game so I got to save a loss on my record lol

Hopefully blanco gives it hell tonight

Holy non shitty lineup batman

I’d prefer Chas to Julks as I think he’s both better hitter and fielder,  but as long as we aren’t faxing a lefty I don’t care all that much if he does it this way. 
like that lineup. 
I can’t even describe how happy I’d be if Diaz got 20 AB’s in one week just yo see what regular playing time might look like, but I guess it’s baby steps that they have him catching Blanco. If we are going 6 man rotation it’s asinine if he does not have at least 2 of the guys regularly. 

[HtownHorn 15260]

The only way that lineup gets better is Julks plays 1B and Chas is in LF.
