Chas could barely get up off the ground last night after getting beaned in the low back area. His absence from the lineup doesn't surprise me at all.

One thing that slightly concerns me is they hit either or both him and Yainer last night to get Framber fired up to retaliate tonight which already backfired at least once this season against Arlington.


Yeah, Framber needs to go 8 scoreless with no drama, then let Stanek come on with an eight-run lead and smoke a couple of guys in the 9th.


We need to go up 12-0, Framber throw 8 shutout 1 hit innings at 72 pitches.

Then have Stanek get two easy outs… then smoke three straight guys. Then have Abreu get a one pitch out. 12-0 shutout

It's that easy

Is Dusty just like the manager in Moneyball who refuses to play by the statistics and tries to go old school?

He definitely favors veterans to a fault. What happened to Yainer happened to Trea Turner in D.C. as well, but this seems to be tied to Straw being traded against Dusty's wishes.

Not a huge Astros fan, are you? That's former Astro Art Howe horribly portrayed by Phillip Seymore Hoffman (RIP) and yes, Dusty is a stubborn jack ass like Howe was portrayed in the movie but Donkey is taking it to a whole new level.

Art Howe. Yes. Billy Beane had to trade away his favorite players to get him to play who he wanted. That's Dusty, and Dana ain't Billy.

Astros can still win the division if they win at least 3 out of their last 4 games, but 1 of the wins must be against Seattle tonight and Texas must go 1-4 with that win also being against Seattle.

If the Astros can, by some miracle, win the last 4 games, Texas must go 2-3 with at least 1 win vs Seattle.

If the Astros do not win the divsion, they still can get the WC 2 spot with at least 2 wins but both Seattle and Toronto have to crap the bed. 3 wins makes that easier (obviously).

1 win makes is nearly impossible to even get the WC 3 and that win pretty much needs to be against Seattle unless Texas can sweep Seattle.

No need to mention 0 wins over the last 4.

I predict the Astros score double digit runs en route to a moderately stress-free win, and then we fret about the scoring curse for the next 48 hours.


Stress-free, lol.

Win or lose we'll be calling for Dusty's head by the 3rd inning.
And he will deserve it.

So all year Dusty has preached about Dubon playing CF because of his defense.

So in a must win game with a ground ball pitcher on the bump he sits Chas and plays Dubon.

WTF is going on in that dome of his? Everything he does never makes sense with what he previously has said.

He's literally going senile.

I think the answer is Chas is hurting from yesterday.

I would really love to put 10 on them thru 4 then let Stanek let a few fly vs Julio (I like Julio, but he's their dude) for hitting Diaz & Chas yesterday.

Diaz got hit right on the knee and Chas took 99 to the kidney and it wasn't remotely close to even a "miss inside."

Watch when Stanek comes in ( if he does ). He needs to be the head hunter.

Maybe Kid Rock can be Framber's opener. And by open I mean open up JRod's rib cage.

Our own manager and mental patient pitcher took out one of our best players, but Servais did indeed take out the other one.

If Chaz actually is hurt I'm more surprised we didn't call up Julks and give him the start.

Ironically it's the one thing you think an old school manager/player would do.

also a good brawl will help our guys blow off a little steam and maybe raise their Low T they've been showing

Obviously I want our team to win more than I don't want Dusty to get another shred of success before being banished.

But man is the split less than 100/0 like it would otherwise be.

Dubie had a big base hit Monday night so Dusty has his excuse for starting him.
