  1. I haven't kept up with our more recent international signings/development, but I know a few of you have. I'm hoping the next batch of those guys (even if it's a batch of just one) is close to offering us some help in Houston.
  2. I've already moved past 2023 and am focused on what life after Dusty Baker might be. Not sure it could be any more frustrating. I'm hopeful of greater success going forward.
  3. Was hoping Garcia would get another AB, so Stanek could clock him. Oh, well.
  4. They might. But Wheeler and Nola and some of their lefty relievers are pretty salty. I rarely care to watch a WS w/o the Astros, but this time around I probably will.
  5. I was in the Dome for the collapse against Philly in 1980. This pattern is nothing new to me.
  6. Despite how frustrating this series has been, there's not too much wrong that a locked-in Valdez and Tucker wouldn't have cured. More from them and we'd already be in the WS. That said, even if they're great next season, how do we know they won't spaz out again in October?
  7. Some guys finally decide not to tie themselves in knots pulling the ball, and what do you know...they go the other way and get on base. But then we decide to leave Diaz on the pine. I can't begin to explain it.
  8. Which one of you at the game can grab a glove and pitch the 5th? You might lower the team ERA.
  9. Such a tough situation for France. He's been a pleasant surprise, but hard to ask him to suddenly become a middle reliever and stem the tide here. No reason to have pulled Brown.
  10. I have no idea what Toothpick's pitching plan is from here on out. But then, neither does he.
  11. We've already had enough brain-dead ABs in this series to last me a lifetime. But we're making up for it by throwing a lot of meatballs and not being able to hold baserunners on first.
  12. Kessinger could do us as much good. And I'm honestly no fan of him.
  13. I'm sick of so often getting so little out of RISP. It could well cost us the season. But at least the crowd's back into it.
  14. I have a feeling we score 6 tonight. Doubt that will be enough, but let's get them on the board and find out.
  15. It is what it is. Maybe we lose 22-0. Maybe we win 13-7. I'll watch and see.
  16. Let's win. Whether by 1 or 16. That's all.
  17. I wouldn't have bet the proverbial plugged nickel on us. We're still pretty much a .500 team over the past three months.
  18. Tucker has to stop playing like he's swimming in oatmeal. And Pena needs to consciously go oppo whenever possible.
  19. Lots of folks have had their feelings hurt by the fact we aren't as good as the bobblehead pundits claimed before the season. No, we're not one of the top four teams in America, but we've improved quite a bit since Sark arrived. In fact, I wouldn't trade where we are now for this point of any other season over the past decade-plus. Let's tighten up that pass D and give Murphy a fighting chance by running the ball well. If we do those things, I'll consider it a positive year regardless of how many games we win.
  20. Remind him that Luby's starts serving the Senior LuAnn at 3:00.
  21. Poor play will get you beat. Make some noise here in the 9th and get ready to crush tomorrow.
  22. We're about to find out who Kyle Tucker really is. Not counting on him getting a hit, but he at least needs to look totally engaged and focused during this AB.
  23. But he's hit a ton of grounders to that exact same spot this whole year. All situations and against all kinds of pitches. Consistency isn't always a good thing.
  24. $5M/year doesn't buy what it used to.
  25. Pena frustrates me as much as anyone on this team. Guy simply isn't a smart hitter.
