Giles fucking sucks.

There is a disconnect where some fans think that because the Astros are all in on analytics that we fans have to be. We don't. I can use my fucking eyes and tell that the back end of this bullpen is a problem and isn't good enough right now.

Why can't we send Giles down to the minors? He's embarrassingly bad.
Fresno and Corpus are leading their divisions, and we don't want to fuck up their seasons.

Yeah, wouldn't you? They are all nasty.
At some point, beating teams by 10 runs doesn't really matter. Bullpen success in beatdowns doesn't matter.
The Astros are 7-13 in one run games.

Yeah, n=1, offense was shit, etc.
But still.

Yes. Who would you feel better about? Kimbrel? Chapman? Jansen? I seem to remember them all blowing leads or ties in the playoffs.

But that’s the key: you feel. It’s purely emotional, not fact based.
If they can bolster the pen with a smart move, great. If not, that’s ok too-it’s actually good.

In the playoffs against the Yankees/Red Sox/Cleveland, I don't feel good about this bullpen holding on to a one run lead at the end of the game. Do you?

There’s nothing wrong with the existing bullpen except paranoid fans.
I disagree. It's clearly the team's weakness and should be fixed at the trade deadline.

Mike Leach could be a Longhorn fan, looking to infiltrate the Cougars out on the west coast in a reverse psychological strike against the old Red Raiders of Lubbock..?
I thought that was "chop block 25, both knees."

So do I need to continue teaching my righthand dominant 3 year old to bat lefthanded or not?
I am. He's still two steps closer to first base.

Altuve is leading the majors in hits and average. All is right in the baseball world.

Jake Marisnick should commit seppuku
He would miss and stab Altuve instead.

I knew this wouldn't be the announcement. The Angels would have to give up more than that.

It's three fucking runs. The plaque for the alternates is in the ladies' room.

Let's hope the fiery ghost of Augie helps us out

I guess his lawyer is using the "why would he rob a mobile home" defense, which he can always convert to the "only a person with CTE would rob a mobile home" defense when he needs it.

He's a head case now. A 6th-8th inning guy, which we have several of.
