Nice to get out of that mess

[WBT 20415]

very nice

[Hornsbay22 463]

A big fuck you to Dusty.   He's  quickly turning me into Frank the Tank of the Astros. 

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Well what do ya know

[rvm96 1643]

I thought Madris crushed that at least off the wall...

[Mo Horn 8807]

Womp, womp

[David Dennison 18652]

Two men on, no outs.

Nothing.

Every time Dusty posts a criminally stupid lineup I shank a homeless person. Someone is fixing to die after todays lineup. 

Hey, we get a split on the road, you've got to say that's some good managing.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

This offense is fucking embarrassing as fuck. I’m fully expecting a ranger sweep over this shitastic lineup. So fucking tired of seeing us with 1 hit through 5/6 innings every other game. 

[patrickdrinksbeer 788]

astros with RISP: 0-9 last night, 0-5 today

The FO needs to be asked why some of these players are available to the field manager.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

I’m not understanding the bitching about the fucking lineup card? These guys fucking blow. Some of you act like we have .500 hitters just rotting on the bench. They all fucking suck except a few here and there and if we do score it’s from like 2 guys. I’d cut my left nut off to watch 4-5 guys consistently rake like the rangers are getting.

At least three of our players who have a history of producing are injured.

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

Anybody familiar with Dana’s career? Is he interventionist,  or more hands off? Is he still getting settled into the job? Surely, the stat nerds are bringing him analytics everyday that shit on Dusty’s lineups.

Yea I’m not talking about them. They aren’t available. Bitching like we have guys on the bench that do produce is dumb. They all suck right now. 

[WBT 20415]

Some suck more than others though.  And lineup order doesn't matter all that much batting our 2nd and 3rd highest ops guys 7th and 8th is a choice.

Thank god

This is his first GM job. His history is mostly in the scouting department.

We bitch because that guy doesn’t play every day 

[WBT 20415]

Yainer!  Maybe he shouldn't be sitting 2 games in a row?

[Wulaw Horn 18973]

Diaz Hr. If he was hitting 7th and Madris 8th it could have been a 3 run shot. If he wasn’t sitting on the bench last night maybe we could have scored more than 1 run. But no, managerial decisions don’t work. 

[Mo Horn 8807]

You'd think Diaz playing the majority of the games is a no brainer. 

[runthebone 7932]

Unlikely Diaz will homer again today, so it should be safe to put Maldonado in now.

People were bitching today even when he was playing.

Some of us don't understand why the following players are available:

Bligh Madris

Grae Kessinger

Corey Julks

He should be batting twice in the line up !!!

With Yordan back he will play 2X a week. Maybe 3 if he’s lucky. 

[henrygandorf 29174]

so yainer is a good defensive catcher, throws guys out, and our pitchers have a lower era throwing to him.

he's also one of the best hitting catchers the astros have had in the past 20 years.

he sat 3/4 games before today.

is he fucking dusty's wife?  or not fucking her enough?  i don't know the dynamics here.

[HtownHorn 14468]

We should be happy with the Diaz HR against the best pitching staff in baseball.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

So Oakland's leadoff hitter reached for the fifth time in six frames. Quit letting that happen. 

[David Dennison 18652]

Yainer with the assist on that one.

our first pitch stats is just bad 

[Mo Horn 8807]

Diaz with another hit. Obviously he needs to sit for the next 2 or 3 games. Can't let him get too cocky

[cabowabo 4451]

Good job Pena. Lol. 

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Let’s go Dubon 

[David Dennison 18652]

We need Altuve back in a hurry.

Or not

Edited July 23, 2023 by Mo Horn

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Let’s go Julks !!!

[WBT 20415]

So disheartening for the bottom of the order to actually set the table and have Dubon and Julks coming up.

[tx 3 putt 76314]

I’ll take it !!!

[WBT 20415]

Y'all keep talking shit about AAAA Julks!!  Good take.

[dr99 551]

Julks got lucky

[David Dennison 18652]

Well, it was a ball, but that could have easily gone the other way.
