Lulz blummer “good to see Dubon grounding the ball there blah blah blah”. Yeah dude- it found a hole. It’s basically the ball he hits all the time that ends up as a double play with a guy on first but bc he was on third with the IF in it worked out ok.

Our offense blows. They won last year and now we’re gonna have to hope they kick it in gear mid season and start getting focused for another run.

Mid season huh?  What if they start to hit next week?

Hey I hope he comes back killing it but he’s gonna take a step back at some point. 

Not sure you'd get an argument out of anyone there.

I mean we have to know by now Stanek is not an option to close games.

Maldonado was horrible at blocking pitches last year as well, but it will only get worse the older he gets.

I would pull Stanek. There’s a reason the guy was a ghost in the 2022 postseason. 

I was told by Surly that was Dusty malfeasance

Maldonado being a lazy tub of goo is why this went to extras and why they’re on the verge of losing this game. He had no business hitting in the top of the 10th, either. 

Fucking infuriating. He is too lazy to try to slide over and block the ball. He tries to pick everything backhanded. And he almost whiffed catching balls that didn't bounce. Fucker should get his eyes checked

There’s a reason why Astros let Maldy go once. He isn’t the end all, be all behind the plate. How many balls has he missed in just a few games? 
Stanek should have been traded this off-season on a sell high bid coming off last year. He’s not a main guy here and Arizona was dying to give up an OF for relief pitchers. But we had no GM. Stanek will be DFA before he brings returns now.

God forbid Diaz get some time back there. 
tell me again Maldy fans how I’m just too fucking stupid to see why replacing that fuck face with Wilson Contreras or Vasquez or a 9th grade sped kid would be so disastrous.

A couple of observations from the box score:

We threw 34 more pitches than they did despite the fact that the Twins had 4 more AB's--our batters aren't working the counts worth a shit.

Reminder that we’re actively choosing to lead off every day with a guy who has a sub-.300 career OBP.

But this doesn’t matter, we shouldn’t actually try to maximize our chances of winning games because we have so much room for error, right? We can skip an entire off-season because the logo on the hat means everything will just fall into place? Cool.

Certainly feels that way. 

16-26 under Dusty in extras. He doesn't seem to understand the single most important job of the 1st hitter in extras is to get the runner to 3B.

I have a $50 ticket on a bet I made for a parley of Tampa, Twins and Astros to all win the division. It’s like +2600. Right now if the season ended today the reason that ticket wouldn’t cash is the Astros. Kind of funny.

Funny yes. But not funny, haha
