Was Jim Clancy pitching today?
Yall can blame me. Was supposed to bail at work and walk to a bar to watch with a coworker. But something came up and I couldn't. Then it was like 7-0 and wasn't worth it.
Maldy pitched in relief and gave up four runs. His ERA is 36.
Halfway through the game yesterday you were thinking sweep and 1st place...now you've split a series you were in command of and licking your wounds after another head-scratching result.
This team is missing something...leadership, killer instinct, something. Everyone keeps waiting for them to turn it on and become THE ASTROS but the longer we wait the more doubt creeps in. They're on pace to win 90 games which would be their worst record since 2015 or 2016 with 84 and 86 wins respectively.
Nearly every pitching metric besides JV is heading in the wrong direction...and the same with the bats. I'm worried at this point.

Alex Cora. Known cheater and knows how to cheat at MMP. Obviously stole the signs from Maldy.
There's just no fire in their belly. They're fat and happy off last year's results. No intensity, no leadership. Also, questionable roster management by Dusty Baker
35-31 record at home. Pretty disgusting.

Were you listening to 97.5 today?
No, what was said today?
Questionable is such a generous term. I would use a word more like negligent.gooberhead said:

I agree
Afternoon drive time guy was on a long-winded rant version of your comment, adding in a bunch of nonsense about Dusty being arrogant and detached and not listening to anyone after winning the championship. Not to insult you; his rant got pretty dumb and petty on a personal level towards Dusty. Then went into some bizarre comparisons about AJ doing the same thing in 17 (which I seem to remember as a pretty good season, now that I think about it).gooberhead said:

Typical Houston sports radio, always crying ownership, management, and coaching. Players never have nagging injuries or bad outings, because the jock sniffing hosts want to be cool with the players.

Didn't hear this segment, but Joel Blank sucks. He is a whiny *****.
Pressley, you dick
Effffffffg!
one strike away
Rangers are sucking and we can't capitalize. Meanwhile Seattle on a tear and gonna surpass is both
Finally! Good to see her again.
batting practice today
A lot more fun being on this side of it
This is something….
That was fun
Jose Altuve with the cycle. Why Altuvegate-obsessed opposing fans continue to show up and subject themselves to increased PTSD is beyond me. He broke several yesterday.

We won't see Brantley this season
Quote:
Aug. 29: OF Michael Brantley reinstated off 60-day IL; OF Corey Julks optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land; RHP Jake Cousins designated for assignment
Brantley, who hasn't appeared in a big league game since June 26, 2022, was activated off the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and in the lineup in left field against Boston. Brantley had shoulder surgery in August 2022 and suffered a couple of setbacks in his rehab, including one in early May when he was a day away from being activated. Brantley just completed a Minor League rehab assignment at Triple-A and went 8-for-23 with a homer and seven RBIs in seven games.
Astros manager Dusty Baker said Brantley would split time between left field and designated hitter. He will start at designated hitter on Wednesday.
