  1. as stubborn and irrational as dusty is, i just cannot imagine a scenario where yordan insists he can go for that one AB in the 10th, and dusty sees julks on bench and denies yordan’s request. dusty probably would have swung at a manager in the 70s if he was in the yordan role and it played it out that way.
  2. they said he “jammed” it in a door, not slammed. weird phrasing. not sure if they meant slammed or did he somehow actually jammed his finger by stumbling into a door or something.
  3. same. i find it very hard to believe dusty wouldn’t allow yordan to hit in that inning if he’d said he was good for 1 AB.
  4. ball was dead when it bounced up and hit wall above yellow line
  5. how quickly we all forget luke gregerson
  6. singleton only has 4 hits in 8 games as an astro, but he also only has 4 Ks compared to 7 BB. 11 times on base in 32 PA for a .344 OBP.
  7. great WOWY during muse in the news bdays today.
  8. 0-8 with RISP and 9 LOB. though to win doing that.
  9. Bannon, Madris, Hensley, Kessinger, and Salazar have combined for 2 HR and 4 RBI in 185 AB this season. Singleton has 2 HR and 5 RBI in 8 AB.
  10. Justin Turner has been pretty damned good. Played 30-something games at 3B, though mostly DHing. Not real cheap, but definitely had gas left in the tank.
  11. RIP Black Page Brewing. Second Houston brewery in the last couple of months to announce their closing less than a year after opening. https://www.instagram.com/p/CvGM4IpJt66/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  12. astros with RISP: 0-9 last night, 0-5 today
  13. and the dodgers now trail 5-4 in the 2nd.
  14. if we’re in a place where bligh madris is pinch hitting in the 9th we might as well be deadline sellers
  15. most people who are consumers of craft beer do care about how the beer tastes—that’s the whole reason the industry took off. the industry faces a lot of challenges at the moment, mainly from an overall decrease in alcohol consumption from the younger demographic (healthier life-style trends, cannabis, less “going out” in general, craft beer boom aging into “dad” beer, etc), but IPA as a style is not a trend. it’s been the best selling segment of craft beer for 20 years because hops are amazing and can produce a wide variety of bold flavors that can appeal to a wide variety palates. to state that brewers make IPA because they’re easy to brew and most breweries suck, is just a non-sensical claim by someone who hates the style. there are shitty IPAs and average IPAs and amazing IPAs just as there are for every other style of beer.
  16. you asked why craft brewers make so much IPA and the answer is because that’s what the market demands. that is my point.
  17. because enough people have acquired a taste for IPA that the style dwarfs all other styles of craft beer when it comes to sales. Over the course of a year in my taproom, on almost any given day 4 of the top 5 selling beers will be IPA or pale ale and the worst selling beer will almost always be the darkest beer on tap.
  18. you seem to have incredible insight. can i hire you to run my brewery?
  19. mariner series: dubon 1-16 bregman 3-13 tucker 2-12 abreu 1-13 diaz 3-14 total 10-68 (.147)
