    Here's a crazy idea, move Seth Martinez to the starting rotation, and maybe send Hunter back to AAA.

    Yeah I don't see why not at this point. Skip the part where the young and/or not ready starter gives up a half dozen or more runs and go straight to the part where Martínez goes 3 innings with little to no damage.

    Astrosfuture.com does not want me to take them seriously.

    We just need to be more consistent scoring runs and not 18-0 in 2 games yet are 2-5 overall because we can’t score more than 1-2 runs in all our other games.

    I mean it’s kinda what we did most of last season especially to end the year and the playoffs. I hope we work ourselves out of this pattern. If anything maybe our 7-9 inning rotation won’t blow a lead. I’ll take a 2-1 win over a 3-2 loss and then the bitching won’t be as loud about the offense. Still feels like this team needs to consistently average 5/6 runs a game to really start stacking wins. But it’s all smoke and mirrors when you score big like we do but can’t follow it up the next 2 games. 
     

    like with the rangers this weekend, lose 3-1 then lose 2-0, then win 12-1, then lose 4-3. Rangers score 10 over 4 games vs the Astros 16. Explode in 1 game and we think we average plenty of runs when we don’t. 

    Dude, this is an entire thing in baseball. It usually works itself out unless you have an epically bad bullpen. Ours is struggling right now but it's not that bad.

    It’s a problem for secondary schools in Texas as state funding is tied to attendance.

    Which I mentioned to the front office when explaining why my son's district was stupid for not building in a day off for the eclipse. They have like 8 random days off throughout the year. 

    But yeah, he's going to be sick Monday.

    You can get an offer for an Athletic subscription for $1 a month for 12 months.

    The athletic is at least worth that

    They signed with Texags and said it was because of their great journalism. They may have severed the relationship (I think they did at least)  but nobody that stupid and/or blatantly greedy will ever get my money if I can get their shit for free. Ever. 

    That plus Mandel is annoying.

  8. Obviously it works for them so I'm probably wrong, but basketball guys please tell me why I'm wrong that Braden Smith does not take the defense nearly close enough to Edey on the pick and roll. Smith doesn't wait long enough and makes it really easy for his defender to play over the screen and stay right on his hip.
