    It’s not rocket science. Dusty sucks.

    Singleton has not been good - absolutely correct. And yet his OPS with Houston is higher than Abreu’s. Also his BAbip is .085. He’s had horrible luck. It isn’t at all clear he is a worse option than Abreu unless Jose’s injury was a major inhibitor.

    So how many different streaming platforms is the MLB going to give games? This is getting ridiculous.

    While we absolutely need to start kicking up the urgency engine a notch or nine, there's simply no evidence - given our history and experience - that would suggest our boys can't be trusted to turn it on when they need to. I'm sufficiently tarnated with the sloppy little league stuff, but, like you mentioned, maybe all that and/or getting swept must serve as the second force / catalyst for the return to that championship focus and intensity we have come to expect (take for granted?).

    But must win? I suppose one of the countless lessons bearing witness to our consistent, dynastic greatness has taught me is that only must wins are must wins.

    Side note: A part of me is really enjoying some actual competition for the division - complete with accompanying drama. I'm just trying my damndest to not let all the Dusty stuff sour it and just enjoy the ride.

    In conclusion, let us drown these fools in a sea of cheddar and big ole rips. Let us win ourselves a ballgame on this day.

    Go 'Stros.

    Hail Satan.

    Apple has 2 Friday night games, Peacock has a Sunday morning game. Been that way all season.

    So by a must win, you really mean a it'd be real swell if we get this win.

    There's a reason the dictionaries in Orwell's 1984 get progressively smaller. If everything means the same thing then nothing means anything.

    This is bull ****. We pay for ATT for a reason. **** the MLB and their greed- how many games can they scalp away from the regional networks? I'm one grouchy fan this morning- might actually be good to not watch for once since I don't have Peacock.

    You know, for some reason I had a feeling that one might leave you gruntled!

    I think we can all agree that the only way back to this team's sheveled couth chalant is through combobulation. Ya feel me?

    The lack of urgency by Dusty regardless of regular season situation is baffling and infuriating.

    Well, since you asked: Apple has 50 games exclusively, Peacock has 19. So 2.3 games per team.

    I'm sure somebody will post a stream link eventually

    Of course he did. Dusty always says 1 more day after the guy says he's ready. Because why not.
    You have to tell him it's time to leave at 9:45 when you really want to leave at 10:00

    Astros are 6-7 in games after scoring 10 runs
    Mariners are 4-4

    I'll translate

    "It's gonna be a lot easier for me to get my main man Julks in the game if we keep Tucker on the bench"

    I'm sorry but Dusty doesn't give a ****. He has his ring. He is content. He is managing this team in a rocking chair right now with no sense of urgency. If your best player is ready to go after this **** storm of a series you put him in the lineup!
