Yeah, I've heard he's a different cat as far as earning his trust to put you in the lineup every day.

Who is bannon?
Slashing .191/.314/.286 at SL this year. Makes perfect sense to bring him up and start him against the Phillies over Diaz.
I can't believe Dusty is setting the precedent that an unknown in Bannon should be starting over top prospects in a big series.

I think I have our answer... Rylan Bannon made an appearance in this game last year. Aaron Nola was the starter for Philly.

Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Box Score: September 23, 2022 | Baseball-Reference.com

Old man Dusty thinks he had ABs in this game. He did not.

He could hardly be worse than Hensley, who would have likely been DH'ing otherwise.

Let's keep the recent run of form going regardless.

Did someone go on the IL to make room for him? He wasn't on the roster was he?

I swore at the start of the season I would not ***** about Dusty and lineups this year.

**** it.

Dusty is an idiot. He gets the postseason right by not screwing around. Regular season Dusty is drunk old and insane. This makes no sense.

Wanted to give you guys a quick heads up of what the rest of the season looks like according to my season so far on OOTP24. If you guys don't know the franchise, OOTP (Out of the Park) is a great baseball simulation on steam. You control the entire astros organization, from the Astros themselves all thew way to the Dominican Summer League affiliate.

has there been any word on Chaz? I'm legitimately concerned about the guy - dizziness is not normal unless he just flat out tied one the night before the game and was dehydrated.
Chaz is wearing a fake moustache and beard and passing himself off as someone named Rylan Bannon.

If you win the division and are in the running for top seed, did the regular season really get messed up?
If you need a 75 on an exam to get an A in the class, do you shoot for 75 or 100?

"Rylan" is certainly one of the names of all-time.

I was researching the same question. It looks like you can watch previous week games on there but I'm not sure when they become available. I don't see a record option.

This team has been so good and this Division so gawd awful bad the last several years that they could win despite all the lineup swaps.

Right now you have Altuve, Brantley, Yordan, Chas all out. You have a starting catcher batting -0.760 and a 1B who couldn't carry a pail of water. Why would you insert a DH who is only here holding a roster spot and had never played a day in the bigs when you have a 3rd catcher and a possible DH in Daz?

If someone can make an argument that 1. This gives the Astros a better chance tonight or 2. It better prepares the team down the road, I would love to hear it. I get it. Sometimes you do sacrifice winning 1 game to keep guys healthy, get someone experience, etc. And sometimes you play someone who helps you now or in a matchup that may not be the plan long term. This is neither IMO.

Edit: I would respect Dusty more (not that he gives a **** if I respect him) if you came out and said, Chas or Brantley will be back in a day so we wanted Bannon to get 1 big league start before we sent him down as a personal milestone.

I would as well. Except the guy started four games for the Orioles last season. He's already achieved that milestone. This is just inexplicable.

I believe you should be able to watch whenever you want. If you start watching mid-game, I believe it gives you the option to "start from the beginning" or "join live"
