We know we need more offense and last night Dusty still went with .189 instead of Diaz and lets not act like Javier can't pitch to catchers other than Maldy. He f***ing threw a combined no hitter in the World Series to Vazquez!
It really is malpractice at this point. I don't know what Chas and Diaz did to him but he needs to get over it but I know he won't. It's why I call him Donkey.

Can someone link me to the tweet on the Rockets and Astros games on tv and the new channel?

Another data point for why team meetings are pointless.
After all the talk behind closed doors we just saw Altuve and Bregman combine for maybe their worst joint effort? Certainly for this year
The bunt just a shade under Schwaber stupidity and another thing getting lost in that clustereff is what was Maldy still doing out on the base paths after his double?
This is how you know Dusty is mostly checked out at this stage. He had an opportunity to pinch run and harken back to his old school days and get a little chubby playing small ball and…nothing
Pure suckage
In a sport so full of cliches and tradition, I just can't believe we keep trotting out a lineup that absolutely crushes teams offensively, then we completely go away for it for the next 3-5 games. Boggles the mind that we don't keep trotting the same guys out there in the same order the night after they score double digits.tjack16 said:
Remember when we played our best lineup Sunday against the padres and scored 12 runs….. then we haven't seen it since

EXCLUSIVE: Where will you watch Houston Rockets games (and presumably Astros games, too) on TV (or streaming) next season?

Whatever they do, I just hope that they decide to make it available for purchase a la carte
Some of y'all need to maybe take the weekend off, the constant *****ing about dusty and the lineups is exhausting.
The entitled fan base losing it because we haven't won 75% of our games is exhausting.
Take a day or two off, relax. Recharge for the playoffs.

Remember comrades, it's the wrong color paint at Minute Maid that's been the problem.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around being the 47th victim of the Royals this year at MMP. 47-101. Good Lord.
I got some bad news for you chief, Maldy keeps playing in 85% of the games with Chas batting 8th (or not in the lineup at all) we very likely miss the playoffs.Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:

We shouldn't, we certainly have the talent to make the playoffs but our fearless manager enjoys playing our 3rd best hitter 8th and splitting up our top 2 hitters...for reasons.
I'm not entitled either and your post is ridiculous. I just expect the best players to play and to maximize their value in the lineup. That's not entitlement, it's just common sense, which our manager lacks.
People complaining about people complaining is even more exhausting.Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:

But he has a point. I think today will be nothing but football for me.
Interesting. Hopefully there is a streaming option. I really love the MLB.tv, but the blackout restrictions suck. It'll be interesting to see if OKC is still a "market," too.
I hope they offer some kind of standalone streaming for a reasonable price. Having to buy some $80-100/month package with 180 channels to get the games right now is a no for me.OKCAg2002 said:

Yea, if they offered a stand-alone network package I'd sign up in a heartbeat. Although I would imagine the chances are high that they would sign a deal with YTTV, Fubo, XFINITY, DirecTV, etc.
I was looking at Fubo and to get AT&T southwest, you have to spend $74.99 for a package of 175 channels, then pay an extra $13.99 for AT&T sports net. If I could just spend $13.99 for the Astros games, I would jump on that.CFTXAG10 said:

What's exhausting is watching a team that was supposed to be going for another title lose 6 out of 7 so far against the Yankees/A's/Royals
We maintain that pace, we won't need to worry about the playoffs.wangus12 said:Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:

We should be able to trot out Singleton, dubon, Meyers, Maldonado and still win the series 2-1 against Oakland and KC. They are terrible teams. Our 1-6 guys just haven't been good the past week
Hey whatever happens, I'm just glad to have been a part of this crazy season with ya'll lovable degenerates

Stop complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining!
Also…**** Dusty
During the A's series… Tucker, Bregman, Altuve and Alvarez had 6 combined hits.

Baseball is a streaky game, so depth is generally what separates good to great teams from average to above average teams. Teams are good to great because they have more quality players than the average to above average teams. Thus, you do not always need your best players to perform to win, which is an unrealistic expectation in baseball to begin with. However, if you keep your better players on the bench in favor of worse players, you negate the depth advantage.
Tough pitching matchups for the Stros, Rags and Mariners tonight. Could be a good opportunity for someone to gain a game as I don't see more than 1 team winning tonight

Yep when your entire core group is slumping you are susceptible to getting skunked by one hot player on the other team. Alien boy from the Yanks, the A's pitching and Kershaw reincarnated last night will lead to some bad results

Don't worry we have Chas & Diaz to pick them up.
Oh wait….

We will get the lineup of death once this weekend. They will rake and we won't see it again for another week. That's what sucks is we get that great lineup with France but then JV/Framber/Javier come up in the rotation and Dusty has to accommodate them.
I don't think he's accommodating anything but his own ego.tjack16 said:Farmer1906 said:tjack16 said:

Second best line up
Game 2 in KC.

That's basically as good as we're going to get against a lefty. I expect we'll never see it again.
