2021 Houston Astros Thread

Olney has had a hardon for the Astros pretty much since Crane/Lunhow took over. 

He constantly bitched about how they "were trying to lose" in '12-'13, and how terrible that was for the game. 

Anytime service-time manipulation is mentioned, he uses the Springer example - never fails. (He never acknowledges that, given the circumstances, it would have been professional negligence to trade full-season 2020 Springer for a few weeks of rookie Springer in 2014 on a team with no chance of contending - never.) Everyone did this. Everyone. 

Look, I don't mind criticism about Osuna or the douchebag front-office guy that yelled at the reporter, or even the sign-stealing thing (although it is intellectually dishonest for writers to pretend that it was as big a deal as they've made out to be). But when he's been whining about the org every chance he gets for nearly a decade, and then he feels the need to complain about guys who say "fuck you" to the All-Star game - in part due to a situation in which he himself is somewhat complicit in creating - yeah, he just comes off as having an axe to grind. 

I'd have more respect for him if he just came out and admitted that he doesn't like the org and the people who run it, and by extension, the players in it. Instead he has been passive-aggressive about it for 9 years.

Ump wanted to call it.

Yuli fought off multiple pitches out of the strikezone and  he gets fucked on a strike called on a pitch outside the zone.

 

Fix it, baseball.  For crisesakes.

And let’s not forgot how big a bitch Cole was after we lost game 7 of the WS. Fuck him and fuck the Yankees. 

Cole was right.  He should have been in the game.

That being said, fuck the Yankees, and he is one.

fuck this commentary.  It's all fucking bullshit.

 

Poor gotdam Yankees.  So disadvantaged.  Give me a fucking break. They all have a boil on their asses the size of Gardner's melon.  

Such a fucking beating.  How will the downtrodden Bronxies ever recover?
