  1. I remember when Maldy had a shocking run of abject averageness to start the year and Yainer looked like the Monstars had stolen his talent some of the old dipshits in Astros fandom that were ride or die for Dusty b/c "reasons" were like see- Dusty was right! It's amazing that water finds it's level and things are back to normal. I expect Maldy gets released at some point in time- if that's the best San Diego can do we should call them up about Caratini at the deadline. At any rate- it's amazing to me that the Astros have the 3rd fewest runs allowed this year after being something like 5th last year, and basically only worse than teams in extreme pitchers parks when Maldy was responsible for all the pitchers prowess, not the pitchers, not the coaches, not Yainer, nope- just Maldy. Really fucking weird man. I am gobsmacked that the organization somehow managed to muddle along without that arrogant cunt.
  2. Unexpected. I was more going with the thought that it's hard to explain how the Astros are winning when it's really not. They are an average offensive team and a great pitching team. Now- did I expect those guys to be awesome? Nope. But they have been. And that's the deal. As far as unexpected man- when I wrote the blog about how we got where we were at in the bullpen and every guys journey? Yeah, man, it's insane. But that's usually what bullpens are like, right? Up and down and who knows from year to the next with most relievers. Dana has captured lightning in a bottle so far. And with that I will knock on all the wood.
  3. 2 aces and a lock down bullpen have always played pretty well…
  4. Espada was literally warming up Hader (very hot) as we speak in an 11-4 game with 2 outs in the 9th. the dude eats paint chips man.
  5. And we get LHP the next two days. We club them like baby seals. So- Cooper Hummel is as bad in the field as at the plate.
  6. We might have blown it by wasting the gusto gem.
  7. Lots of posts about what the Mariners are up to. That’s not my first scan of the scoreboard anymore.
  8. Anaheim 3 Yankees 2- headed into the b8. we need to stop watching the ranger and mariners on the scoreboard and focus entirely on Det and NYY.
  9. You are just making up names now.
  10. I wrote the Jason Alexander story through Seinfeld Quotes. If you like it I hope you bookmark and subscribe to the blog. It's not just me writing- we have like 4 contributors so far- an article a day is the goal. I think it's pretty good work on balance. https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/costanza-dominates-for-the-astros-last-night-as-the-astros-win-b-i-g-f83c61a3845a
  11. Yeah, I guess the market didn't like what captain dipshit said without it scaring them too much.
  12. Espada is still a dumb dumb. We explain here. I like Dana and have said as much all throughout. the hitting coach thing is dumb to have an opinion on either way.
  13. Hopefully Framber can win tomorrow so we avoid a three game losing streak. tonight we might as well forfeit.
  14. Hes predominantly a 2B to my way of thinking. He could play SS but not well, but if Dubon didn’t exist on this roster he could play for a couple days. seems to fat to play LF to me but dunno.
  15. And at least 1 on the second one.
  16. Jake with 2 double plays involved with 2 times through the lineup. 1 running and one hitting. Cost us at least 2, maybe 3 runs so far. Little things matter when you basically suck offensively which we do with this group.
  17. We just need a Tootblan and it will be the entire Altuve experience today.
  18. I keep it mostly to off-season and July. Little early for me. I did have a guy that’s starting like a 5 part series on the trade deadline. https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/a-very-early-look-at-the-trade-deadline-as-it-affects-the-astros-6942cfa01c32
  19. I was told that this was a 70 win team.
  20. Nobody in the world had this foursome with a sub 2 era’s on Father’s Day. The
  21. How about 2-1 in manfred ball?
  22. What was the percentage of parks smith would have had a HR? I feel like our park gives up a lot of stupid cheap ones but every now and again a bullet like that off the top of the wall would have been out at most places.
  23. Just a reminder that until all our pets heads were falling off and we ran out of players our dipshit manager took him out of games for defensive purposes.
  24. Beach volleyball was the reason we won this year, right? Without it we have to take cross country and don’t win I think.
  25. That’s as bad a lineup as you will ever see from a first place team allegedly trying to win.
