This bullpen needs an enema.

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Guess we’re going to have to let Harris close for awhile. 

[David Dennison 18945]

Toronto robbed us blind.

He's not going to do that. Osuna is the closer.

He is closing my arteries, that is for sure.

I think Gut Wagon was serious about Harris, though.

That one may be a bit harder to detect. I defer.

[UTexasFight 9523]

Wow, JV vs Charlie f'n Morton on Tuesday.  Probably another low scoring game.

Yeah noticed that on Monday

Cole vs Yarbrough on Wednesday

Grienke vs TBD

 

Nice long game by Hinch with the cole “injury” to get those three lined up for the Rays

Not quite sure how you divined my true feelings from that post, but you’re incorrect. Until the next time Osuna pitches, anyway.

August has sucked again, 6-0 late and we sweat it out, September can’t get here soon enough.

Any chance Glassrea will make it through the playoffs?

[WBT 20655]

Yankees lost but the Dodgers had one fucking hit through 8 but scored 3 in the bottom of the 9th to win 3-2.  Kike had the walkoff.

1 back of the Yankees and 3 back of the Dodgers.

[WBT 20655]

Also the win tonight clinched our 5th straight winning season 

[henrygandorf 29194]

funny blum said we're about to be 13-7 but feels much worse.  glad they feel it too.

at least 2-3 of those losses should've been wins, but whatevs.  yankees just got swept and now they have to play the dodgers.

[kevwun 15856]

This August is actually significantly better record wise than the last few seasons.  It doesn't feel like it though.

[tx 3 putt 77346]

We could easily be 16-4 

[UTexasFight 9523]

This August is actually significantly better record wise than the last few seasons.  It doesn't feel like it though.

That’s what happens when you’re so fucking good and have won, on average, 63% of your game dating back to the beginning of 2017.

Oh what do you know. We have a .650 winning percentage.

But yeah, mix in a 5 game losing streak and two games that felt a little like losing game 7 of the World Series and you’d think we haven’t won a game all month

That’s because you read this thread

[WBT 20655]

Brandon Lowe, who was the alleged leader for ROY pre-Yordan, is now out for the year with a quad sprain.

[Scraps 13570]

August hasn't sucked.  1 road trip week in August has sucked.  They are balling out and are 12-1 the rest of the month.

"Ugh. You really bought two of those things? I guess they're okay for working in the yard."

[kevwun 15856]

My wife was excited about them, but she likes to wear them when we go swimming or to the beach.

I think those are the exact words uttered by my gf

They are also great to wear when practicing baseball in the backyard with my 4 yo

Either way, little dude is going to look sharp at MMP on Sunday:

[Jshep34 2320]

We are going next 3 days. By end of this year we will have been to about 140 games in 3 years. Keep on rollin out the W's

No, you’re right, just some tough losses mixed in makes it feel like it has sucked.

Didn't get to see last night's game.  Did we have anyone die or at least get added to the IL?

That is the current plan... assuming we get up and on the road in time driving in from Austin.

I have no idea if this is true or not. If so it’s pretty crazy.

The reason Reymin Guduan was suspended

 

So, some background here right quick. We here at Astros County don't do this kind of thing terribly often. We knew that Brad Ausmus had interviewed back in August 2012 for the managerial position that went to Bo Porter. McTaggart refuted the rumor the next day. Then we were vindicated by Ken Rosenthal about a month later. Point is, we don't Break News terribly often. That said, it was reported on August 4 that Reymin Guduan was suspended for the remainder of the season for a "disciplinary issue." Luhnow said:
[Guduan] broke our team rules and is being disciplined because of it. 

On August 10 there was a report that the suspension would go through the rest of the minor-league season, which ends at the beginning of September, but could possibly be called up once rosters expand. Luhnow indicated that the team had not decided if he would be reinstated.

So here's the situation as recounted to us, and not denied by multiple parties:

Dean Deetz is a little bit of a character, and talks a lot of smack. He was giving Reymin Guduan The Bidness about not being able to throw a strike. Guduan responded by throwing a shoe at Deetz and  missed (badly, apparently), to which Deetz responded "See?" That is legitimately funny. What happened next is not. Guduan picked up a bat, swung it, and hit Deetz in the head. Guduan apparently didn't get a great swing on it, but "it definitely dazed" Deetz.

Guduan was removed from the clubhouse, but came back later, this time with a knife. "He didn't do anything with it, but he stood at his locker and glared at Deetz." No one called the police, but the Astros did suspend Guduan. That, by any standard of the law, is assault. You'll notice on Round Rock's website that Dean Deetz did not pitch between July 26 and August 5, which was a span of eight games in nine days.

Whether or not that Guduan pitches with his left arm, with varying degrees of success, should qualify him for helping the Astros in September and in the playoffs is up to you.

[Cooder 37]

Thanks, I’m not sure how to do that from Tapatalk

Why don't they just get rid of him?  He is liable to come back and start shooting people.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

My favorite part is when he missed Deetz with the shoe and Deetz responded with "see?"

[runthebone 8030]

Deetz should probably get a callup just for that

[UTexasFight 9523]

Crazy ass Dominicans.

[UTexasFight 9523]

After this, Deetz could do a whole lot worse than “Si” for his players weekend jersey name next year.

[kevwun 15856]

I don't know how you keep him in the organization after that if it's all true.  He's fucking crazy.

[Scraps 13570]

Don't start no shit won't be no shit
