That's insane. He was literally asking where good places were to eat around the stadium. Earlier he was offering to sell a set of tickets he couldn't use.

And staff banned him for trolling.

Just incredible.

I'll say it and probably get banned for doing it

Staff/Mod you are totally wrong for this. Yes people have been going there to troll. That wasn't it. I expect you to ban Mr Gigem. He's posted here for similar questions.

This is wrong.

Did any of those soft ass *****es complain and cry? Or did they just silently flag his posts for no reason?

Seriously?? That's really effed up and wrong.

Wow that is super weak. The arbitrary ban policy and secret mods remains the absolute worst thing about this site which I otherwise enjoy very much. I hope some Ranger fans do the right thing and vouch for Farmer.

The self policing model of moderation is asinine, especially when theres clear bias involved

What a loser

they police the mlb boards like crazy (i caught a ban for re live tweeting Game 6 of 2017 on an off day) but they let Politics go HAM anytime a black person commits a crime. I tried to call them out on this but you don't don't question staph or you get banned

if they agree with the POV they let it go, how they don't have some type of AI moderation by now i don't know

also **** dusty

The farmer thread is started

yep, cannot leave .538 slugging % on the bench

all it takes is one....and Yainer got the one today.....3-run homer

Yainer Diaz said some of the Astros' veterans spoke to the team after yesterday's loss to the Yankees and implored them to turn the page for the biggest series of the year.

Absolute joke he isn't the everyday catcher.

Lol thin skinned Metroplexans

My mother, God bless her, who is 87 and has followed the Astros since inception and grew up in Fort Worth and lived on the same street as Dick Williams and was good friends with him (what I would give to resurrect him from the dead and coach this team...Reggie Jackson knows what's up) asked me today if Dusty's contract pays him more if he gets fired than if he resigns.

Yes, my mom is speculating Dusty is purposefully trying to George Costanza his way into getting fired. I laughed and told her no, he's just a stubborn ass. But now I think she might be onto something. Yes, I know my first sentence was a Ketch like run-on. I don't care...sue me.

Hmmm. I'd roll out same batting order and lineup tomorrow.

Nearly a 100% guarantee Dusty won't.

Yainer is averaging 1 home run every 15 at-bats

if he were a full-time player...let's say 500 at-bats for the season...

that would be 33 home runs

The problem is "you have to" get Maldy back in there the next two games for Framber and JV.

And Brantley needs back in the lineup.

And...(checking Dusty notes)...Kessinger needs to play.

If he had been playing every day he would be the ROY. That's costing Yainer a year of time that you get for the award and it's costing the team the extra draft pick.

Swap Brantley for Dubon for the ultimate lineup of death

What's so frustrating is that it's really not that difficult to put out a best or close-to-best lineup.

1) Chas plays everyday

2) When Maldy plays Diaz is either the DH or plays first base

Follow these two simple guidelines and it is almost impossible for Dusty to completely screw up the lineup.
