  1. Yall are insane. He’s pitched 33 times and given up runs in 3 of them. respect the process.
  2. Worst AB from Cam in a month. Worst route from Jake ever.
  3. Good day to gain 1/2 a game on the Tigers and Mariners and a full game on the Rangers. Let's go out and club that mid lefty like a baby seal like we do all non all star lefties.
  4. 3 Putt. Probably a couple others.
  5. Nah. I don't think there was a right or wrong choice. Baseball got us but leaving Greinke in, brining in Harris or bringing in Cole all made sense to me and I deemed them all equally likely more or less. They decided Cole only got a clean inning before hand. Greinke was on fumes. Harris had been really good all year and that was always his spot. All made sense.
  6. Don't care, mocked Maldy. That fucking ass hole was the equivalent of Dumbo's magic feather for Dusty. Fuck that shit- I want 2023 and the world series ring we pissed away worshiping at the altar of fatass back. The only thing worse than that in the Astros fandom was losing the WS in 2019 with the best baseball team I will ever see in my life assembled, and then losing the architect of that team and our only non paint huffing moron of a manager (since Garner anyway) 3 months later. I still wake up in the middle of the night screaming nooooooooooo whenever that shit worms it's way into my nightmares.
  7. Astros hot (and sort of not) lately as we do a temperature check on where we are at right now: https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/temperature-check-fa9b884dba61
  8. There is no pitching analystics team. It's all the ghost of Maldonado and his left over essence pulling them through. Should wear off anyday now. Yes- I chose violence today.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 2 aces and a lock down bullpen have always played pretty well…
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. We might have blown it by wasting the gusto gem.
  15. Lots of posts about what the Mariners are up to. That’s not my first scan of the scoreboard anymore.
  16. 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.
  17. You are just making up names now.
  18. 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
  19. Yeah, I guess the market didn't like what captain dipshit said without it scaring them too much.
  20. 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.
  21. Hopefully Framber can win tomorrow so we avoid a three game losing streak. tonight we might as well forfeit.
  22. 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.
  23. And at least 1 on the second one.
  24. 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.
  25. We just need a Tootblan and it will be the entire Altuve experience today.
