Shawn Dubin, from onetime college soccer wannabe to Lowe's employee to Astros Closer. I think Porkchop could work this up as a Hallmark Story.

Caratini doubles
need something from Jake
need something from Jake
Cubs announcers just say "haven't seen anything too egregious from the ump..."
Two pitches later rings up Singleton on a clear ball

the 7-8-9 hitters have reached base 6 times tonight
Watching the guys this team is supposed to count on to not be 7-17 flail around lifelessly while Vic Caratini is playing real baseball is an experience
Ouch
I dont know where else to put this.
I am a junkie and turned on the Lafayette game tonight because they are ranked and playing and because they are playing Houston Christian.
I had NO IDEA Lance Berkman was the Manager of HCU. Not a clue. I lived in Houston from 2000-2006 and was and still am an Astros fan and he was a hell of a player.
Anyway go Houston Christian. They are up 10-7 in the 7th. It was 9-1 but HCU had some errors.

Jake plunked by 94 mph
7th reach for the 7-8-9

**** me. That hurt
Ouch. Looks like mostly underside of his forearm rather than his wrist but that's gonna hurt tomorrow. And probably right now too.
Thank goodness it was more arm than wrist or hand...
ffs does anyone have a stable streaming link? Everyone I can find locks up after 30 seconds
Sucks for Jake. He's been murdering the ball.
11 baserunners = 2 runs
a very familiar script

Altuve playing golf
Fart noise
Fart noise
Previous years Altuve would have hit the crowd silencing 3 run homerun there
1-7 risp shocking I tell ya
Give Altuve the rest of the night off. He's not engaged anyway.
BTW, take off that stupid mask.

Man I loved the days when Altuve would get booed loudly before he shut those fans right up with a HR blast.
Perfect encapsulation of why this team is falling apart. The guys that are supposed to be leaders are giving you nothing.
Alzolay just missed three consecutive pitches badly against Meyers including two hung sliders. Altuve steps up and the first pitch of the night he doesn't swing at is a hung slider. Then he hacks at a garbage pitch to strand everyone again.
Losing. Baseball.

Cubs may want the ball checked
Dubin's stuff is moving like crazy
Dubin's stuff is moving like crazy
He could be an unironically fun part of the 2007-2010 wasteland this team is about to enter.
Also, he didn't make the trip to Olsen vs the Ags in 2023 because he was serving a suspension for ejection in the prior game. But he was there earlier this year 
for a mid-week matchup.
for a mid-week matchup.
Be honest… would the 2024 Astros beat this team in a 3 game series
Screw it, give Dubin a starting spot. Probably could give us 3 innings of zero runs more often than some of these other guys.
This team would be 17-7 if we had 25 Victor Caratinis.
Bregman misses another very hittable pitch
Bregs swinging under everything
Weak Bregman. Just ****ing weak.
How do you not put those 3 in play
it's like the Astros aren't seeing the ball
