it is a ray of hope that this team has shown there is life after yordan
mainly because of what we got from trading Tucker.
should have called up Matthews, Whitcomb ain't it.

What?
Just fuckin with you imma.
In response to that Rolling Stone article I posted weeks ago, you said "You also realize the Senate is gonna eviscerate this shit? I seriously doubt it passes anywhere close to what it is now."
Those principled fiscal hawk Republicans caved in cowardice just like we said they would.

guillermo
brice isn't an mlb ss
Why not?
He's played more games at SS than any other position in his minor league career, albeit in the low minors. He's played 52 gms at 2B vs 6 gms at SS in AAA this season, partly due to him being blocked by Pena. I understand the knock on his arm at SS but might as well see what you've got now and if it's not working go to plan B.

Time to call up Brice Matthews.
Who else do we have to play SS other than Dubon?

Dems could run a Bill Clinton Dem again, the right would call him a commie socialist, and "centrists" would be very concerned how far left he is. People's brains are cooked. Again, the game is rigged. Have to excite the youths and people who don't typically vote and stop trying to appease the middle.
100% THIS
Fox News and the right wing propaganda machine has so thoroughly brainwashed the collective political consciousness and worked the corporate "liberal" media so effectively since the early 90s that the dipshits who call themselves centrists have convinced themselves it's The Left that is wildly out of control and obsessed with pushing LatinX trans women in sports and not the insane right-wing Christofascists returning us to the 1850s.
The only thing that matters now is being a principled pugilist not afraid of being called a socialist/commie/marxist/pedophle. That's the GOP's only gameplan and the way to beat them is to smash them in the fucking face. That's what the people respond to.

This is a massive wealth transfer that will be rubber-stamped by the Senate because these so-called fiscal hawks will ultimately cave just like every goddamn Republican caves at the threat of being on the wrong side of Donald Trump.

This cat's got it. He's exceptional and I look forward to the old guard Dems being replaced by younger, vibrant, engaged fighters like Zohran.

Kirsten Gillibrand is a fucking CUNT and should immediately resign for this insane slander and defamation of Mamdani. With Democratic party "friends" like these.....

After team game 81, Hunter Brown leads the majors with a 1.74 ERA. The team record for a season is Nolan's 1.69 in 149 innings in strike shortened 1981.
Is it just me or have people not caught on to Brown when discussing CY candidates, best starters in baseball, etc.

While this seems amazing, it gives me concern. That stuff doesn’t usually play out that way over a full season. But maybe we have the secret sauce (great bullpen, buncha scrubs in the lineup that are too wet behind the ears to understand pressure).
Or maybe it’s our turn for 2016 Rangers luck (last time we didn’t win the division, sans Covid year) when they were a stupid 36-11 (.766) in 1 run games. (Of course all that got them was the wrong side of a sweep in the LDS)
I had the same concerns as well because usually those one-run games are a function of randomness/luck and that worm could easily turn on us, but hey let's just ride the wave while it's hot and hope it continues. There's also a good argument to be made that the team's record in these close games isn't just a coin flip because they are only two games ahead of their pythag W-L and two games ahead of their third order W-L record (which accounts for strength of schedule).
I think it's time to give credit to Wulaw and admit this is just a really damn good baseball team and poised to get better when our best power hitter returns.

On that note, Brown and Framber have a combined 2.31 ERA thus far. In 2019 Verlander and Cole finished 1-2 in CYA voting with a combined 2.54 ERA.

We do not have a 2.69 team ERA.
Big h/t to the Htown media goat Charlie Palillo for these stats that really are amazing:
In one-run games so far this year, the Astros are 17-7. For the entire 2024 season the Astros were 18-27 in one-run games. That's fuckin insane and inexplicable, but I will happily take it.
In extra innings the Astros are 5-1 so far. They were 6-10 in extras for 2024.
Also: in games where we have scored 3 runs or fewer, the Astros are 18-26, over .400 winning %. That sounds bad, right? It's actually amazingly good. Last year's record when they scored 3 runs or fewer: 12-55!!! For context, the Phillies are 11-22. The Cubs 10-22. Mets 10-21. The Dodgers and Yankees are both 8-22 in the same game scenario.
GOT DAYM!!
