August 25, 20232 yr After this shitty week, the team is still 12-10 for August. 1 game back in the division. Need a good weekend in Detroit from the the starters.
August 25, 20232 yr oh my He’s a God-fearing man that’s also borderline gangster’: Why the Houston Astros can't quit the worst catcher in baseball

Read this: It's not easy to put a metric on: How does he instill confidence? How does he let a pitcher relax so they can focus on executing a pitch, rather than thinking about what pitch they should be throwing? You know, those things don't get measured. Our pitching coach said this. It actually is fucking easy to put a metric on it: the pitchers’ fucking performance? Who gives a flying fucking shit how “relaxed” or “focused” the pitchers are if the production doesn’t improve? If it mattered, it would be evident and measurable. For fuck sake. Why does anybody give any credence whatsoever to this fucking jet stream of bullshit? When someone talks about “things that don’t get measured,” they’re generally full of fucking shit and making stuff up. Do you believe in magic and the goddamned tooth fairy too? Don't worry guys - we are significantly worse offensively and defensively with Maldy, but the pitchers are relaxed (while also giving up more runs).
August 25, 20232 yr Just now, Guadaloopy said: "Thanks for eating the shitburger, yesterday. Here's another one." Ford asked Sparks early in the outing “what goes through bielak’s mind in a game like this?” ”honestly, I’m thinking about going back to AAA after this.” And went on to elaborate, but yeah, that sucks.
August 25, 20232 yr Maybe the pitchers being relaxed is the reason for their shit show. A little urgency and focus might do them some good.
August 25, 20232 yr It makes no sense to put the guy who supposedly can’t hit left handed pitching behind two left hand batters who will most likely see left handed relievers. Especially when the guy behind him loves left handed pitching. I’m not even sure Dusty believes his own bullshit.

August 25, 20232 yr Josh Miller just made the list. What a moron? Can’t measure it - it’s called Catcher ERA.
August 25, 20232 yr Also, we're in third place.At this point, try to hold that last wild card and weakly exit in round one.

I was hesitant to include the pitching coaches in the "get the fuck out of here" group, but after that article, yeah fuck those guys as well. Entire organizational reboot under Brown.

August 25, 20232 yr And 90’s night in Detroit tonight. I actually liked the navy and gold f the haters Throwing harder in warmup than game action.

August 25, 20232 yr When is the last time they have worn the orange bill caps? Been a couple of years at least no?
August 25, 20232 yr Defense by Tucker and Bregman get Framber out of the jam. We need to start scoring runs

August 25, 20232 yr Could have have been a much needed crooked number inning for us, but Bregman's double play killed that from happening
August 25, 20232 yr Blum: "Altuve gets first hit of game"Kalas literally 2 secs later: "Altuve reaches on Detroit 3rd error of the inning. Oh actually they are giving Altuve a hit on that play" I hope Blum is in the booth just pulling this: Rogers is the last player left from the JV trade. Astros won that trade Yeah but he is like the 2nd best catcher in the league or some shit....remember????

August 25, 20232 yr Nice error to get the pitchers spot cleared this inning. if I was this tiger pitcher I might go punch my 3B in the face.
August 26, 20232 yr The only difference between today and yesterday so far is we haven't given up 17 runs
