No way dusty is wasting Neris down 9-1. That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen a manager do. He's literally our best reliver
Nothing is stupider than Maldonado being the everyday catcher.
This team has no leadership between not having Altuve and having Dusty

Dana needs to get rid of him or nothing will change
Yeah but I remember about a month ago when Donkey waxed poetic about how when Moldy catches we just seem to win a lot or silly f***ing nonsense that sounded an awful lot like the "fan stuff" he abhors.AggiEE said:The Beef01 said:
I believe these were HB's stats before tonight; no more damning stat for a need to be done with Dusty than this…
What's our record when Diaz catches?
Gotta be like 70% win rate
FU Donkey....play Diaz at catcher and put someone who can actually swing a bat at DH.
DFA Maldy and Dusty at the ASB
upper echelon pitcher indeedW said:
Castillo on the mound tomorrow night for the Mariners
he's another upper echelon pitcher
hopefully Seattle has no more going this weekend
the Astros approach of first pitch swinging and giving great pitchers short innings is not the way
We were hitting the ball hard...perhaps if we didn't have the worst hitting catcher in the league we could have scratched some runs. Oh wait, Maldy is a pitcher whisperer...W said:upper echelon pitcher indeedW said:

in the last 2 games...the Astros have had 8 RISP at-bats...
and Machete got 2 of them. Both were his first at-bat of the game

Hitting the bars and pretending I didn't just pay money for this.
Sunday pitcher for Seattle is Logan Gilbert - he's no slouch pitcher.
this is true
the top pitchers are good at keeping the ball down, so those 100 mph exit velocity batted balls are ground balls

In the last two games the Astros have 1 BB. One. Uno. Un. Ein.
Stop swinging at the first pitch.

We did get 3 in the air. Just didn't pull them.
This team likes to lay turds at home.
Dusty Baker is a ****in idiot
Just got done seeing Indiana Jones and saw the final score.
This team does not give a crap right now and just wants the all star break I guess.
Btw the movie was mediocre. Better than the 4th but doesn't hold a candle to the originals

First time at MMP this year, watched every game on FuboTV so far. Great crowd, very engaged even after the 4th inning meltdown, WTH Brown/Moton?
It's hard to watch, but knowing injuries, Bregs/Tuck/Pena/Abreu just aren't cutting it.

AKA 13-0
Maldy's hitting and defensive metrics are way more damning than a single pitcher's stats divided by 90 innings between the two catchers.The Beef01 said:

In fact I'd say that's not even damning at all given the limited sample size of innings and it's just one pitcher's stats. Still they make Maldy look bad, so I'll allow it.
Thank goodness for the week of wins before this series because this team is back to playing ~.500 ball since Memorial Day.
Can't let these chumps gain more than 2 games before the break. Hopefully it's 0 after Sunday.

I just checked the final stats after turning it off. We wasted Neris in this game? Wtf is wrong with Dusty. How does he keep falling up in life?
Have to win today's game, zero excuse if we don't get it done. We have the pitching advantage in a huge way.
Is Yordan expected back immediately after the ASB?

Gilbert threw a CGSO last outing. Our only saving grace is their rook Miller is on the IL who made us look feeble earlier in the season.
I can only guess the Mariners are .500 like the Stros were .500z all they need is a little offense and the wins flow. That rotation has us outmatched at every level right now
Kirby and Castillo are their 2 best pichers by far. The rest of their staff is trash, but that doesn't mean the Astros bats will wake up from ASB hybernation.W said:upper echelon pitcher indeedW said:

Logan Gilbert on line 1. Aggie Miller has been solid with his 1 pitch mix.
True, Gilbert is good.Farmer1906 said:

Of note, Seattle does not walk people. That might be why the Astros are using the swing first, think second approach at the plate.
Need Framber the Framchise tonight.
Good point.
Kirby (#1), Gilbert (#6), & Castillo (#32) in zone % for pitchers.

Need to go 2-0 here before the ASB. Can't let the rangers slip away again.
Dusty is big on waving the white flag. He's about to wear it out waving it so much.

Maldy in the lineup is our every day white flag.
The Astros have 3 players with 55 RBI on the season (Alvarez, Bregman, Tucker). This is the 5th time in club history for 3 players to have 55+ RBI at the All-Star break. The last time: 2001 (Alou, Bagwell, Berkman).

Only 3 MLB teams have 3 players with 55+ RBI (TEX, LAD).
