    Dusty would have gained some good graces if he would have chewed Angel out and gotten tossed...but nope, that requires effort...

    They know he’s awful. The umpire union makes it virtually impossible to fire them though. Pretty sure there’s never been one that was fired.

    Jake Meyers sometimes looks like an all star and sometimes looks like Myles Straw. Very good 4th outfielder with potential to be more for now, seems like a good dude to root for in the postgame interview.

    Astros avoid a disastrous weekend and accept a bad one instead.

    Abreu did a good enough job saving Pressly's arm.

    He's definitely protected by the union, he's never going anywhere.

    Before his huge game today he had 601 PA and has been worth 3.1 WAR.

    He's a really good, albeit offensively inconsistent, player. You could do better, but also a lot worse than Jake Meyers your everyday CF. Sadly the Astros insist on not getting any offense from catcher, so it puts a much higher offensive burden on the other spots.

    That was a super aggravating game. Just relieved we hung on for the dub.

    Take 2/3 in Baltimore and it’s a great road trip.

    You don't seem to get the irony of posting a complaint about another poster posting complaints about other posters' complaint posts...

    Nor do you seem to get that, while last years results do not get us in the playoffs this year, neither do the results of the top half of the first inning lose us the game.

    Out of it in Baltimore.
