Dusty imagines that when he's inducted at Cooperstown that all these former players will be lined up to give testimonials like "My grandkids get to see me today because of all those days Dusty gave me off."

Baltimore has absolutely schooled Houston in this series. Reading our mail with pitchout, defensive positioning, you name it.
But I'm sure the Astros will come back on the strength of Dusty's old school hunches.

I am deathly afraid that if we lose this game and fall out of first that this team will just roll over. There just seems to be so much disfunction now.

They rolled over 9 games ago.
Agree. Seems like once they got first place in the west, they just gave up
The defensive positioning has been shockingly ineffective this series like we're overcompensating and leaving huge gaps that the Orioles are perfectly fine with slapping singles thorough knowing they have guys behind them to blast dongsMarvin said:

They want to win, but do they really want to win?
Not meaning to be hyperbolic, but I'm not sure they will be completely devastated to miss the playoffs.

Gotta score this inning

Not hyperbolic when losing to crappy teams like the As and Royals
Top of the order, going to plate some runs here.

We can't steal.
We can't hold runners on.

Remember when we used to be that team

It certainly feels that way. Plus, it seems like they got the morale crush with Brantley apparent hurt again.
We have a whopping 5 hits in 72 ABs against Bradish for a .069 average
nice

Woke up in first place and will finish it entirely outside the playoff picture without turning this around
Of course Javier comes out dealing like we all expected before the season started, and the offense is MIA. 2023 in a nutshell.

Then looking up at the looming Royals heading to town
Yall calm your tits. Its a 1 run game and the King is up.
And down
Tucker hustling down the line like usual /sarcasm
"It's just another corps trip boys, we'll march in behind the band"
Think he could have beaten it out?
Way to work those counts boys
Yeah.... I think this team is toast. The body language is so bad.
Doubt it but the baseball gods will reward hustle at times. They sur e as hell don't reward lollygagging
"It's just another corps trip boys, we'll march in behind the band"
Anyone else have commerials playing over the top of TK and Blummer here in top 5?
Of course… we finally get good pitching and we can't hit
Javi is throwing a good game. 10Ks out of 13 outs so far is quite strong
"It's just another corps trip boys, we'll march in behind the band"
CJ dealing - come on bats - pretend you're playing The Rangers.
They have something on Javi on the basepaths. Timed that up way too easily.
Astros are so bad at holding guys on….
I wish they would just stop moving infielders at all. Just play straight up. Other teams can do it, but Houston just needs to quit.

Because it's killed the Astros. They set up and all a team does is hit where it's pitched. Easy outs find created holes.
should be a top priority for next seasonscrimp said:
