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."
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.
So we should use a strategy the Dodgers will use that has resulted in them dropping at the sports books?
Its ok, if Jake isn't hitting, Dusty can PH Maldonado for him and then insert Dubon as a defensive replacement.tjack16 said:
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
I sure hope you're right.BadAggie said:

We'll see what impact JV's 'hey chumps, play better' speech has tonight.
Mariners win again. Stros have done themselves absolutely zero favors.
Let's do this.
Some of you guys have revisionist history. Previous years Dusty sucked too. He just had a sub .750 ops Chas instead of the one this year and didn't have a rookie catcher that is a near elite hitter to keep sidelined.
I've always liked his postseason lineups though. Although, apparently that isn't him.

My God the Rangerette fanboys are fckn off their rocker.
I saw a headline that Max is going for an MRI and I click over on that thread to get some info and insight only to see that all they can talk about is their theory that we're cheating.
But only on the road (too many eyes watching us at home) by hacking pitchcom and batters are getting the info in real time as it's being relayed form catcher to pitcher. And furthermore we didn't start mashing until later in the games because we have to confirm the data we're collecting. AND EVEN FURTHEMORE we didn't hit Hedges like the others because he is a position player and not using pitchcom.
People actually believe this shlt? That's institutionalized level of delusion.
He's also openly admitted he posts crazy **** over there to bait Astros fans into posting in their thread so they can ban them.
Back in the day we called that trolling and that was against the Texags code of conduct but maybe times have changed…
When you are 10-15 games better than everybody in your division due to lights out starting pitching and the best bullpen in baseball, you can F up a lineup or two and nobody will really notice. When your division gets competitive and every game counts, the shortcoming become a lot more obvious.Mr President Elect said:

They're dropping because of their pitching issues. Injuries, injuries, more injuries, and domestic violence.
My point is they're a smart team who will find a way to make it work. I like to think we still are and will too.
Does "we" include Dusty? If so, then no, "we" are not a smart team. We are dumb, stubborn, and resistant to good ideas.Farmer1906 said:nbbob said:Farmer1906 said:Hunter aint a *****.Willy Wonka said:Ag_07 said:

I think our pitching decisions in 2021 were very smart. If that's dusty or a group effort, idk. Last year was easier when it came to decisions.
Nice K. No hugs.

Good start. Now do it two more times.
woo hoo!
no runs for the A's in the 1st
no runs for the A's in the 1st
Is it legal to not give up runs in the 1st?
Astros in the middle of a division race with 16 games left, 1.5 games above being out of the playoffs and MFin Dusty's out there saying he needs to give guys days off.
no runs for the Astros either
What is happening that we keep hitting soft contact against these guys?
This is baffling
This is baffling
Another offensive inning of weak and/or no contact.
Our body language is even different at home I've noticed
We must be swinging with toothpicks and they are throwing golf balls because we couldn't make contact if we tried right now.
Only Pena shows faux bravdo.

Maybe there's rats in the locker room like the Jacksonville Jaguars have?
Brown's got some juice.
maybe mix in some offspeed
Fightin' Texas Aggie and Sam Houston State Bearkat
Brown pumping in high heat fouling off
A .207 hitter running up the pitch count on Brown.
Whatever it takes gotta win this game
Has he looked like a .207 hitter at any point this series?mwm said:

H.B. looking sharp thru 2
JV Jr listened to JV Sr apparently
'Member when Dusty said he needed Maldy to catch HB to straighten him out last start?
