Who the fuck is Zach Cole and why was not on the team Months ago?
The obvious answer is Melton is a better prospect .

That's a bounce
Counterpoint: 6-0 good guys
Counter, counterpoint, a rookie is carrying this club tonight.
Best players need to be on the field at the end of the year, not as if he didn't have a nice long break middle of the season .

I didn't look at the starting line up and just noticed no Jeremy Pena.
Mother and Child Joe, what the fuck are you doing and I don't care what the situation is, when you have 15 games to go in a season in which you are tied for first and the only way you are making the play offs there is no fucking excuse for a paid athlete to not be at there short of death.
Crane needs to clear out the orange slice and participation trophy mentality from this club.

players get older every year
We all do and I wasn't happy the first time I was playing golf with our son and instead of dropping down a club to show I still could hit with him or even do better I had to club up one or even two clubs.
If the player won't recognize it someone has to tell them. Nothing wrong with it, not disrespecting the player.

He hit fine in the first half, particularly in July; I think some of it is fatigue.
I feel like Fangraphs or someone on the Crawfish boxes wrote an article a few years back about Altuve adjustments (basically pulls everything, trading BA for power but that it worked for him despite diminishing bat speed). I think it's clear that he needs to go back to the laboratory over the offseason because he's an out machine right now.
Agree completely, as I and others have mentioned here before, a younger Altuve would take that outside pitch and drive it to right field.
Unfortunately, he now more times than not ends up hitting a weak ground ball to a middle infielder rolling over on top of that pitch.

For sure, especially if his skills drop off a cliff...
That has already happened defensively and the base running has followed suit the last month.
Almost as if he don't realize he can't run like he once did when younger. I would have compared him to former US men's player Jeff Agoos, but now that i think about it Agoos never could run.

Wickline will have to pick up a bunch of slack with both Ego and Heidi gone. She’ll probably be forced into every fucking every sketch.
Fixed it for you. Could be wrong, but based upon SNL past history get ready for a high dose of Wickline.

If the team miss the playoffs... I guess guys have more time to recover. And we can speculate/hope for staff changes. Crane can stew on missing out on that sweet, sweet playoff revenue and be pissed that the team wasn't built better to accomplish that goal.
Will be very interesting to see what changes the Astros make regardless of the outcome and a big issue is going to be the Altuve contract.
They owe him 30M a ear for 2026 and 2027, 25M for 2028, and then 10M in 2029 which is a great deal of money for a guy who is basically a DH.
I am not suggesting they trade him, recognize what he has done for the club, and his place in Astro history, but they are going to have some tough choices on what to do with Jose and manage the lineup when they get some of these parts back.

since we have another weekend of no racing......
Not sure which was crazier about Clark's career.
His win percentage or the amount of races he competed in over multiple classes. He wasn't flying on a private jet or taking a modern train.

In case it's ad-blocked.
"pre-production" could mean a lot of things and if they started on sets in mid-July, and he was training, they were probably still a month away (or more) from actual filming. Training could literally be him getting in shape.
They have been doing set build SW of London for a few months, but they aren't going to start up in the Highlands until a month or so.

Agreed. The likelihood that this many murders can occur within an unlikely group of true crime aficionados' interpersonal circle, and them not only having nothing to do with said murders, but ultimately solving them? Completely implausible. I'm just not buying it.
Murder occurred with such regularity in her vicinity that the term "Cabot Cove syndrome" was coined to describe the constant appearance of dead bodies in remote locations. Indeed, if Cabot Cove existed in real life, it would top the FBI's national crime statistics in numerous categories, with some analysis suggesting that the homicide rate in Cabot Cove exceeds even that of the real-life murder capital of the world

Bill Snyder created the model for teams like OSU, ISU, KSU, TT, BU, TCU, etc. ;
1. Get a great coach.
2. Schedule non-conference patsies, at home, so you have a 3-0 or 4-0 baseline to start the season with.
3. Run a program that teaches and develops talent.
4. Build stability by winning 6-8 games per year, and make a run at a conference championship every few years.
Snyder wasn’t the first guy with the ability to do this. He was the first one after college football media revenue was upended after the ‘80s OU/UGA lawsuit. After that, media was negotiated by conferences, and weaker programs in major conferences could actually afford to play patsies. Before that, teams like OSU and KSU relied on gate for revenue, and had to play good teams. Really, check out old schedules- non-conference used to be real teams, because they needed the gate.
Gundy, like Patterson, Briles, Leach, Mangino, Campbell and Snyder before him, took advantage of this era. Small programs still didn’t have the resources of blue bloods, but if they were in the right conference, they had enough TV revenue to fund closer to the big schools, and were given steady games against their conference’s blue bloods, to stay in the public eye and keep boosters engaged. When they hit on a coaching hire, they made sure they paid well enough to keep him, if he was inclined to consider staying.
That era is over. Disparities in revenue once again mean disparities in competitiveness, and by an even greater amount. In (what I’ll call) the Snyder era, teams knew they needed to pay their star coaches top dollar, to keep them. Now, they ask those same coaches to surrender seven figures of salary to fun NIL.
It will just get worse for B12 schools, because their next media contract will reflect an even greater discrepancy. It’s a new era, and what worked in the last era for OSU doesn’t necessarily work in the new one.You are a bit confused on Patterson's scheduling before joining the B 12.
They would play anyone big conference school that would schedule them and that includes Texas, OU, Nebraska, LSU, Ohio State, Tech, Baylor, Arizona, and Oregon State and not those Baylor teams were with Briles and the Tech teams were with the Pirate, so not exactly the soft touches you lumped us in with and also note Texas, OU, and Nebraska were all at those schools.

Glad the resident NBA experts are chiming in.
Toss BO&W in there too I guess. I have him on ignore so I missed it.
So the answer is not a fucking thing happened.

Wait? Is that basically what the Astros are facing right now?

It is the situation. Barring something crazy happening, Piastri is going to win the title.
Engine failure isn't crazy nor unheard of with the Merc power unit.
Not as frequent as it once was, but consider that Lando just went out the prior race.

That’s kinda the point though. It’s 3 points and McLaren is worried about who’s feelings are going to get hurt because they screwed up a year ago and don’t know how to handle the situation with any maturity.
Maybe I’m wrong because I haven’t been into F1 that long but 31 points with 8 races left doesn’t seem like it’s a done deal for Piastri. All it’s takes is a Kimi kamikaze or an engine failure to make it close for Piastri. It’s a luxury for McLaren till it’s not.
Levi gets it, during the early part of the race, both Lando and Oscar easily could have been involved in a crash with Max and then Charles.
One DNF from Oscar changes the title race and there is history of such things happening.
That is the only precedent that matters.

Also, this.
We're arguing over 3 points. McLaren has already locked up the constructor's championship, and they're going to finish 1-2 in the Driver's. Going back on the precedent that they set last year over 3 points (I guess technically 6) would be an even bigger self own, and for what purpose?
Explain to me what happened just last week that opened up this "big" lead?
There is NO HISTORY of late season DNFs impacting championships and all titles are won by double digits right?

5 minutes ago, Mittens said:
Am I off base here? Or is this not accurate?
McLaren is clear and away for the championship.
Piastri has just about clinched his title.
Lando's got 2nd just about clinched.Nothing they did yesterday affected any of those things.
Oscar has not clinched the title.
He has a 31 point lead over Lando with I believe 8 races remaining and while he should be able to hold that lead it is far from clinched as one DNF from Oscar and a Lando win (presuming Max doesn't challenge Lando causing Lando to wet himself) and you have a title fight on your hand.
I would offer 2016 as an example of what can go wrong late in the eason that decides a title and I would have loved to hear Toto tell Lewis to flip positions with Niko.

Big problem with it being on Tokyo and NBC having the broadcast rights is finding updates on the run.
Here is a link to an good story about Crouser,
https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/ryan-crouser-shot-put-world-track-and-field-championships-2025
He is a freaking beast, the best of all time in the shot, and one of the all time track and field greats for the USA.
