Yes yes he is. As is trammel. Don't give me that Stanford lights BS. Neither should be above triple A at best and yall knighting for them shows how god damn far we have fallen 

But not that far.

Thanks, Seattle!

11-2 in Philly (for now).

This team is in serious jeopardy of not making the playoffs. Hard to imagine a deep run if they even do. That being said, let’s go kick some ass in Baltimore tomorrow and try and right this ship.

Baby steps. How about we eke out an undeserving win first. 😅

Throughout the golden age, we have consistently had our worst stretches in August.  We're still in first place by 1.5 games on August 20th.  Y'all white flag wavers can go ahead and jump off the train.

I fully expect the end of the regular season to play out like this for us and Seattle:

Which rookie OF sucks more dick right now, Cam or Melton?  That's a trick question- right now they both suck infinite dick. 

You posed your question as a comparative and the answer is Melton.

Yes, Cam is bad right now, but Melton isn't even hitting his fucking body weight.  

Cam looks tired and to quote Cal Elrod Jr. has  pretzel in his head when he comes to bat.

Melton just flat sucks and hasn't shown one thing to even keep him on the roster and you might as well DFA him because who is going to take him in a trade after the way they have showcased him this month.

If Framber is in a funk, then our season is on borrowed time. 

While the Astros need Framber to be competitive, the lynchpin for the Astros making the play offs most likely isn't a guy who is most likely going to make 7 starts in the 35 games the Astros I remaining in the season.

That in my mind is their offense because right now they can't score for shit.

Sanchez is not a bad outfielder, he had a bad play last night.  Shit happens.  I kind of think there was something weird going on with the wind or the lights being that Trammel had the same issue an inning later.

This is his best defensive season in his career, and he has been very good defensively since the Astros got him, last night withstanding. He's lost at the playe but so every other hitter we throw into the lineup, except for the occasional HR.

Astros rotation for Orioles:

Thursday: Jason Alexander
Friday: Lance McCullers Jr.
Saturday: Cristian Javier
Sunday: Spencer Arrighetti

Damn, that's looking rough, poor bullpen.

I just want to mention how terrible the timing is to try another round of the LMJ experiment.  The Astros really need another start where the SP might not get out of the 1st inning.  It will be great for the bullpen and team morale.

Evidently Kyle Tucker has been playing with a fractured hand since June 1. Hairline fracture. Sounds similar to Yordan. Played through it with minimal affects initially but looks and sounds like compensating for it eventually altered his swing and led to current struggles even though healed. Interesting in that it was Tucker and Alvarez and the opposite ways they handled it. Cub medical staff catching hell for not making him sit. Ours catches hell for not making him play sooner.

No, our medical staff is catching hell for lying about it for months.

I mean, we tried to make him play sooner with the hand well broken and he was like fuck that shit. 

They should have flown him to Baltimore after his off day.  2-4 with a walk. What- his timing going to be so far off he can't outperform Cam Smith or Jesus Suckwad (his new name until he gets a hit) or Melton the Molester (his new name unless and until he cuts the mustache)?  Whatever, get him 2 more games down there Thursday and friday and then I guess what- he gets a 3 day weekend before catching up with the team for the Rockies at the ice box?

No need for a sense of urgency- everything is going so swimingly.

I have only watched about a half dozen games in real time this year because I finally got tired of being held hostage to MLB's ridiculous regional broadcast rules.

No. I blame Yordan for not getting surgery, when they knew it wasn't a 10-day ouchie. 
He's still not back...

I have used this all season long.  Pop-up blocker used.  usually takes 3 times opening and closing, with it opening properly on the 3rd attempt.
