@Wulaw Horn - Are you the happiest Astro fan ever?

I mean- I was sitting at my desk looking at an update about market worsening and sweating because it’s 80 degrees in my office and getting no excitement about the idea of eating my third meal of the day as 1/4 of a cup of cold chicken salad (just the salad- not the bread) looking at the clock and cussing the fact that I have to pick up kids at 6:45 and 7:30 before I get to go home. And then I saw it- this lineup- and all of my problems seemed to melt away. 

Lol it is still hilarious that someone can write out a lineup and have MaShitty 9 every day he is in the lineup. Then they guy he subs for him he bats fucking 5th.

Its like dude you do realize by your own lineup construction that Diaz is far fucking superior to MaShitty.

Kind of shocked he doesn't just auto bat Diaz 9th all the time to try and cover up his dumbassery.

It is surprising, since when it's 2nd base, the replacement has to bat at the top of the order.  If someone ever brought this up to him, Dusty would probably respond by moving Maldonado up to 5th in the order.

Instead of a rehab assignment, shouldn't we just use Brantley's 15 ABs this year in MLB?

So much info, data to prove Diaz is far superior to maldy but yet he doesn't get majority of playing time. For a team so data driven they are ignoring it. Stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room Dusty and play the best lineup possible.

I'd really not even given this a minute of consideration.  Dusty would say- that doesn't matter b/c his defense is so superior that although it's a given that he sucks at hitting it's still worth it.  Intangibles.  But yeah- that's pretty damning evidence.

But I've also heard Dusty say he's looked at the numbers and other than a couple points in BA they are basically the same guy offensively.  That's what the stats say Jack.

I still don’t understand why Chas hits behind Diaz and Singleton, but that’s only a small complaint.

It's actually a big complaint.

on a scale of 1 to Dusty it's about a 1.2, honestly.  The 1 thing Singleton does well is draw walks (and run into an occasional bomb I guess) so if he's on base for Chas maybe that's helpful. But yeah- it's negging Chas for no reason. Which is on brand for Dusty. 

Every game we lose with that motherfucker in the lineup pisses me off more and more.

One day I hope we find out just why Dusty dislikes Chas so much.

I find it comical that Dusty constantly shits on Yanier but when he does play him, he bats fucking 5th.

HE bats Dubon first or second all the time so who the fuck could even know.

Impressive display of focus by that young man to maintain eye contact with Vanessa and not stare at eye level

That is you on Friday.

"Glad to see the ultimate AAAA player has replaced him. My expectations of Singleton's small time on the roster are .150/.210/.275/17 k's/55 abs. Something like that. They'd be better off with an empty roster space than having either guy in the clubhouse."

That was me when they called Singleton up. So you decided to talk shit after Singleton's one useful game of the season. 

Here is where the fatass, pot-smoking slug is statistically at 55 at bats this season for the Astros:

.128/.255/.277/13 k's. 

 

Altuve not gonna make it through this game

Get your facts straight. He’s had 18 ABs with the Astros. .167/.324/.500/2 K’s

Don't worry, Brantley can lead off

This season fucking sucks. It was pretzel day all the way until the first pitch of the game. Fuuuuuuuuuck. 

This offense blows. Singles followed by pop outs and strikeouts. Anyone that thinks this team is gonna just get it and make a run to the WS is crazy. Offense sucks coupled with dusty and the lineup is just too much to overcome.

But this is baseball, so it's entirely possible that they do exactly that.

Especially since they literally scored 11 runs in back to back games like 3 games ago lol.

10 run curse has worked in 2 consecute games now.  Meaning that next game we are back to 4-7 runs.  I'd rather win 9-8 than 11-3, just to avoid the curse. 

is mighty mouse hurt??? wtf
Fouled a ball off basically his knee cap or right below it

Sure man whatever you wanna hope for. Go for it. Astros “exploding” for runs is few and far between. We do this way more consistently than we score 11 runs, and our pitching is nowhere near as dominating as last year. Hell the offense last year wasn’t all that great and it was the pitching that bailed us out. Anyways hope we pull out of it.

Im far more worried about Javier/Framber than our offense.

Didn't think JP France would be our #2 starter going into the playoffs



this season is over. 

Going forward, i propose the following change to baseball:  Designated Catcher, only catches, doesn't hit. Most MLB catchers hit 200-250, and the change will jack up scoring - more fans, better ratings.  Just Do It.

3 runs feels like 103

You idiots saying the season is over are simply that, idiots.

We're spoiled.

Wtf is Yordan doing

Jesus trying to tear his ACL

I think he was gonna slide and then didn’t and then tripped and then passed the bag. Thankful he didn’t rip his leg off

What's with Yordan's warning track power lately?

 

I like Yainer!!  Maldy would have basically done the same thing though.

Oh look we scored 2 runs just like that

He has the same stats as Maldy says Dusty Baker

Chazzy Fizz!  Biggio would have been proud of that one.
