    I always knew this kind of season was going to be necessary to get Dusty gone, but it still ain't no fun.

    The kind of season where the team has a multitude of injuries and is still in the postseason chase with half the games to be played? That kind?

    For the record: I hoped Dusty would have retired after the WS, and now I hope he retires after this season, bowing out gracefully.

    “Hey, we really need this game, but let’s sit two of our hottest hitters.” F’ng ridiculous.

    I don't have the wherewithal to research it now, but CERA (catcher ERA) is not a universally accepted stat by the stat nerd types. It's been years since I delved into it.

    Check it out, remind me to do the same, and get back to us, please.

    Man, I just can't get tuned in before we're behind again. I only missed a couple of pitches. I guess yesterday was a good day.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Altuve is out because his foot is sore from hitting the 1B bag funny on one of his IF hits yesterday.
