Obviously we will complain about the people who write the strike zone algorithms, and their east coast/west coast bias

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.

Then you'll have every sports writer from both coasts writing pieces about how horrible the robo-umps are and how they've removed the human element from the game, etc. What they will be too blind to see/admit is that they've been the beneficiaries of bad umpiring for decades. Now that the field is leveled, all their proclaimed stars are much closer to average than elite.

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.
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.
I hate unbacked ump conspiracies just as much of the next guy, but the facts back it up:

Just sort in terms of "total favor".

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.
Beat me to it.

I would put Daz and SS and JJ at DH and leave Dubon in the bus. Or you know PLAY NEW JAKE. What am I missing?

Dusty must be thinking Dubon will see better pitches to hit putting him ahead of Alvarez. Wonder if front office suggested it to see if Dubon can break out of his slump prior to trade deadline.

I just can't be bothered to complain about Dusty's lineups, anymore. He'll never figure it out

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

Seems like guys get a day off every 5-10 games. It's probably just his turn.

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

It's really going to piss me off when Dubon strikes out in the 9th (going 0-5) with Yordan on deck.

So Dusty's written off Sunday's game too. Oh well, it's baseball. We have to lose a few until the playoffs.

Catching New York may not be their priority since the Astros play so well in Yankee Stadium. Altuve turns into Babe effing Ruth.

Marcio at least puts the ball in play. He gets a lot to hate, but with this team, just put the ball in play.

Let's complain about the thing we've been doing for 5 years that has helped us go to 4 ALCS and 3 WS appearances.

Fixing working things is sound strategy.

SMDH. If you are asking your 2 hole hitter to bunt, he shouldn't be in the 2 hole…. C'mon Dusty!
