Great replay work, Fox.

I’m just grateful Brown and Maldonado have had some time to get acclimated to each other thanks to Dusty’s wisdom and foresight. Otherwise yesterday could have gotten ugly.

Has anyone suggested to Maldy that he should stop calling the home run pitch?
Maldy has called a perfect game. Brown just keeps making mistakes.

Maldy took the out so Jake could score
100% chance that Dusty believes this.

And for the record, the Spurs didn't completely fall apart when Kawhi bolted. They were a 48 win playoff team him in 2019 without him playing a single minute while he was being a giant
bleeding cuntdistraction.Beautiful post, but just wanted to add…
They won 47 in 2017-‘18 when Kawhi was being a giant
bleeding cuntdistraction.They then won 48 the next year, when he was in Toronto.
Of course this little detail only strengthens your argument.

People who claim the Astros got off too easily for the sign-stealing scandal have never had to suffer through having Dusty Baker as their manager.

It’s a sunk cost. You have to pay him either way. Having him be the worst player in the league doesn’t make it better.
No podcast this week?

Can someone explain this to me? So they draw the picks from 1st to 14th then reveal in opposite order? Is it still ping pong ball style where you have a certain amount of "entries"?
Yes and yes.
According to the NBA, "Fourteen ping-pong balls numbered 1 through 14 will be placed in a lottery machine. There are 1,001 possible combinations when four balls are drawn out of 14, without regard to their order of selection. Before the lottery, 1,000 of those 1,001 combinations will be assigned to the 14 participating lottery teams.
"All 14 balls are placed in the lottery machine and they are mixed for 20 seconds, and then the first ball is removed. The remaining balls are mixed in the lottery machine for another 10 seconds, and then the second ball is drawn. There is a 10-second mix, and then the third ball is drawn. There is a 10-second mix, and then the fourth ball is drawn. The team that has been assigned that combination will receive the No. 1 pick. The same process is repeated with the same ping-pong balls and lottery machine for the second through fourth picks."
The remaining lottery teams are slotted in order of their draft odds.

Second best run prevention in baseball.
Would be first thanks to St. Maldy, but the pitchers keep making mistakes.
Sincerely,
Dusty

Good. They were gifted a championship the prior year when Houston was up 3-2 before Chris Paul hurt hamstring.
And the year before that, when the Spurs were running them out of their own gym until Zaza took out Kawhi.

Did I see that stat right during the game that the Astros have finished with a winning record on 15 of their last 16 road trips? That's insane.
Looks like it might be “non-losing” rather than “winning” record.
But still… our last two “losing” trips were in August 2022 (3-4 at CHW and ATL) and way back in September 2021 (3-4 at LAA and OAK). Had a few others where we went .500 last year
Now if only we could manage a “winning” homestand…

He needs to focus on 1B and LF, because we apparently have no need for a catcher who can hit.

Per chandler Rome …..
Because of Thursday's off day, the Astros can proceed with a four-man rotation of Hunter Brown, Framber Valdez, Cristian Javier and Brandon Bielak, in that order, on regular rest until May 9. That would ostensibly be when they need to add another starter.
It’s the least of Chandler Rome’s problems, but holy fuck people overuse (and misuse, imo) the word “ostensibly”.

Regardless of how this one turns out, I’m thrilled that we didn’t set the precedent of having Diaz play twice in an important series.
Even if it’s a loss on the field, it’s a win in my eyes.

Javier is back in mid season form with the 71 pitches thru 3 innings.
I love the guy, want him to be an Astro for life, think there’s a good chance he wins a cy young blah blah blah- but dude is just legit awful at keeping the pitch count reasonable.“Javier” is Spanish for “McCullers”.

Neanderthal Rangers using sac bunts to create two runs.
Much more fun to swing away and GIDP like we do, imo.- 1

Finally watched the first episodes.
After Andor, this show doesn’t really cut it any longer. It’s pretty tedious and was only kinda interesting when Bo-Katan was on the screen.Yup.
Better than nothing, sure, but the difference between the two is remarkable. I randomly pulled up an Andor episode after finishing Mandalorian ep. 2 and it was like night and day.

First-world problem, but while I love the shorter overall game time, games on TV/radio might feel a bit over-saturated with ads now. Listened to part of yesterdays game and it seemed like Ford and Sparky were going to break every three or four minutes. The ad-to-game-content ratio is definitely up.
Almost certainly a better experience in person, though.

LMJ isn't necessary for the regular season with the depth that we have.
Given his ERA near 10 in the ALCS and WS last year, I’m not sure he’s necessary in the postseason either.

So Maldonado catches our two aces and we give up 11 combined, even with his sorcery behind the plate.
Then Diaz catches our rookie and Montero (of all people) against the same team, and it’s a shutout.
Man, if only Yainer knew how to handle this pitching staff…
