Offense seems to shut down when we face any sort of deficit.

TK and Blummer going off on Abreu's exit velocity

Maybe we don't need a bench, which would require Dusty to play the best (and only) nine players available.

It's a thought.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Javier may be most effective with a 6 man rotation

Most teams don't rotate their bottom 4-5 players everyday.

This game is a photocopy of last nights game, get a lead that you think your ace can keep and then blow it asap

Dusty's team is a wreck right now. So frustrating.

I just cannot even fathom why we are watching this scrub play over Dubon and Chas.

At what point, if any, does Dana Brown start to get some questions? Such as keeping Salazar on the bench for a third of the season for absolutely no reason.

Was that Dana or Dusty's call?

Having Salazar on the roster made complete sense if Dusty followed the plan Dana likely had in mind. Which was to get Diaz starts at DH and 1B on top of 1-2 starts a week at catcher.

I'm beginning to think Javier's invisiball has decloaked.

Wasn't Dirden the one we all assumed would get the call up on opening day? Why has he been getting passed over for Madris, Bannon, etc

Having Salazar made no difference. Again, playing both only becomes an issue if one gets hurt. The risk is so small it shouldn't be a routine consideration.

Crane only hires rookie GMs apparently. All 3 of his hires so far have been 1st time GMs

I think the mentality was that it gave Dusty no excuse to not use Diaz in other positions but obviously Dusty had other plans.

So where do we go from here? Seems like everyone is a liability. Need to trade:

Javier
Montero
Abreu x2
Meyers
McCormick
Julks
France

Staring at a 7 game deficit in the division if scores hold tonight.

Good thing games in late August and September count 3x over these preseason games, right Dusty?

4 pitches. 4.

Maybe change the approach. Just a thought.

I've never hated a team I root for as much as the Texans.

But the 2023 Astros are making a bid.

Don't worry… I've been told many times that the rangers collapse is eminent and we only need to "get healthy"

Getting swept by the cardinals and the rangers will be the best thing for us this season. Just end it all before the all start break and sell the team for 2025 and beyond.
