Realistically, what seems more likely to happen is the jankees, sawks, or dodgers are going to lose a game/playoff series and the last out of the ninth will be on a back door slider called strike 3 that catches a sliver of the edge of the plate.Eso si, Que es said:redline248 said:

Obviously we will complain about the people who write the strike zone algorithms, and their east coast/west coast bias
I hate unbacked ump conspiracies just as much of the next guy, but the facts back it up:Jet Black said:Good to see the ump conspiracy theories have moved from A&M baseball to the Astros. I'd bet everything I can find similar posts on the rangers thread.Deluxe said:
We're gonna be so good when robo-umps arrive. Crazy that we're as good as we are despite umps consistently working against us.

Per Umpire Scorecards the Yankees and Angels are the #2 and #3 most favored teams at +13.05 and +11.78 respectively on the season. Only Arizona has been more favored. The Astros are the second least favored team at -15.06. Only KC is less favored.
Trade season is kicking into gear. The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring catcher Christian Bethancourt from the Oakland A's for AAA outfielder Cal Stevenson and Class A right-hander Christian Fernandez, sources familiar with the trade tell ESPN.

Lineups for Astros-A’s on Saturday. Still no Jeremy Peña. Mauricio Dubón is playing SS again but has moved up to bat second, switching spots in the order with DH Aledmys Díaz. Yordan Alvarez in left field. pic.twitter.com/Qm0v3Cctwm

Christian Bethancourt could be a sneaky good bench bat/backup C & 1B deadline addition. It’s his first year back in MLB since 2017 and he is crushing the ball. 90th+ percentile in Barrel rate, Max EV & avg EV. Rays are second to last in team barrel rate this year pic.twitter.com/St7kHOsNpP

Dubon batting second... Confirming dusty has dementia
Dusty Baker said Korey Lee will catch Jake Odorizzi on Sunday against the A’s. Will be Lee’s second start since the Astros called him up. Baker said he’ll try get Lee another start before the All-Star break.

It's really going to piss me off when Dubon strikes out in the 9th (going 0-5) with Yordan on deck.Farmer1906 said:EastCoastAgNc said:Lineups for Astros-A’s on Saturday. Still no Jeremy Peña.

He should never bat second unless it's in AAA.

maybe this is why.
but Dubon has been a disappointment. He misses a lot of good pitches to hit.
no guarantee to be on the playoff roster

It's a running trend that dusty likes to give his a day off when they are doing well... None of us know why
