Just once I'd like a reporter to ask him:

"Dusty, what do you say to critics of your policies like 'everybody plays' who point out that over decades of coaching you always failed with those policies? And it wasn't until you joined a team that had already been to 3 World Series in 5 years without you that you finally won something - with a bull pen even you couldn't screw up?"

---

2 WS in 3 years.

Dusty has gone ALCS, WS, and WS winner. Its hard to argue with the final result.

I would contribute to a crowdfund attempt to get Chandler to do this. Unfortunately it would probably immediately end clubhouse access.

Chandler is one of the very few who would actually do that. He's the one who asked Dusty why he didn't pinch hit for Maldy last night. Dusty was not a fan.

8:10 starts a day perfect. Kids are in bed and no distractions. I'll have to watch tonight's game on delay

Farmer and I will meet up in The Woodlands. Marvin can join if he gets Mrs Marvin's permission. And then we'll make a list of who we decide is worthy of joining us in the city for an expanded Astros TexAgs meet up.

Hey let me invite myself if you don't mind

I really just took on a bigger interest in this game about 7 or 8 years ago. Whereas before I found it too slow. NOw I really enjoy the way a game develops from inning to inning.

I would enjoy just sitting in and learning from y'all (Plus a good shot or three of whiskey is always a welcome addition)

I humbly offer my name as a potential hangout guest for future events.

Absolutely man. Of course all are invited whenever it happens.

Hope HB has his big boy britches on tonight

The way Hunter's been pitching we may get a quote like we heard the other night except, "I wish I wasn't out there for the 3rd inning, to be honest."

Ketch has been on my ass to get out and have some fun. Between work, kids (dance, softball), and my wife working I have so little time to go out with the boys (snuck in the Arlington trip tho).

We should make it happen tho.

And I'm going to stay on your ass

Hunter aint a *****.

On pitching strategy talk, I think we need to view the 2023 postseason as basically piggybacking/on hands on deck every game. If we get down big early, we may need to punt a game (like the Sox did a few series back).

Sure, Framber & JV will be afforded to go as deep as they can, but basically, everyone else needs to get thru the lineup once, maybe twice then pass the ball on to someone else.

I think the Dodgers are going to handle things like that with how many issues they have been having. I think that is the main reason we've passed them at the sports books.

Do you guys golf? I'm the same with spare time, there isn't enough so my favorite way to hang out with other guys and be able to golf is do it together.

Or go with my 9yr old.

I'm not very good at it but I have fun still between swings and overreactions to my poor shots.

After the offensive output the previous 2 games, I don't have a problem with today's lineup.

I hope y'all understand how difficult that is for me

I have played maybe played 27 holes in my life.

My reaction to slicing my drive is pretty similar to the reaction on here when Maldy is in the lineup

My reactions would fit in well here. I don't react much to watching baseball besides playoffs.

Mariners take the lead in the 5th

I still want to do some sort of meetup for a game with you dorks. There's a new spot that opened up in The Woodlands that I like.

---

If I leave home at 5 p.m. on a Friday I can be there by 11:30 p.m.

Perfect.

Jake will either go 2-4 with 2 extra base hits, or have us cussing out Dusty for having Chas on the bench by the 7th inning

Dusty, I cant keep posting lucky tits to cover for you game after game after game. Sooner or later you are going to run the magic out of those hangers.

But gravity always wins.

And it wears him out. [/Faux Plastic Trees]
