    They’re more smoke and mirrors that will eventually catch up to them based on metrics.

    Pitching will also get them to the playoffs.

    Dusty’s lineup today was ridiculous. Not sure it would have made a difference, but we have a day off tomorrow. Why does Altuve and Pena need two days in a row. I can almost see Altuve since his injuries, but Pena? The love affair with Julks is the most perplexing think I’ve seen, well, since Maldonado. Diaz should be catching most everyday and Myers and McCormick should be in the lineup everyday until Alvarez gets back. Maldonado should be dfa’d. He sucks at every part of the game this year. Korey Lee will make a fine backup.

    Too many players he is trying to play - needs to cut down to 9-11 and just be done with it, send others to the minors if necessary or bench veterans.....whatever it takes.

    why do you have to call dusty a dumbass? why the profanity against him? If you've been around long enough you would respect dusty knowing how shitty our other managers have been over time.

    People dont have respect for others anymore. its sad

    Why play a game that you KNOW you will lose before it even starts?

    You made a wise choice to miss the game. After looking at the lineup I decided to watch golf and go for a swim. The lineup performed as expected, 0 runs.

    He's got the right to his opinions. They're blowing their dynasty years.

    Because you don't know, and you play 162.

    I hope this is not a serious question.

    When he consistently puts sub optimal lineup out there during a division race, he gets what he deserves.

    The Astro still found a way to lose ground to them.

    That's rubbish.

    The stuff y'all come up with as if y'all know the inner workings of the organization.

    That doesn't even make sense in the first place, why would Brown be against something that's proven to be mathematically advantageous over a now significant sample size?

    Huh? this was well documented throughout last year’s playoff run. Click didn’t want Pena batting 2nd. Dusty insisted.

    You’ve just chose not to retain that information…

    That's still a God awful comparison. It really is. This team looks NOTHING like 2018. Sorry.
