    Remember when Justin Turner had COVID during the 2020 World Series and they still let him play?

    Astros probably not playing well enough because @J.R. still has his doubts that WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! Don't worry everyone, he'll get on board.

    We got spoiled by having dependable starters at the top of the rotation. McCullers, as a 4th, or 5th option could be erratic and it wasn't a crisis. Now we need him to step up. He's not doing it today.

    Seriously, fu<k MLB

    Justin Turner was prepared for the consequences of his actions in the moments after the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2020 World Series.

    Ultimately, he faced none.

    Not from Major League Baseball, which excused Turner for leaving an isolation room after testing positive for COVID-19, its investigation determining Turner should not be punished because Dodgers employees did not dissuade him from joining his teammates on the field.

    Rosario Dawson up at the plate now. I'm just going to call him that. It helps ease my pain and suffering.

    It's like none of the Astros hitters have *any* kind of approach out there other than hacking at the first pitch they can get to. I know this lineup of scrubs is challenged, but come on. Toro has been a turd sandwich for a while now.

    Baker needs to lay into these guys to get them to extend their ab's some to give Lance a chance to stop sweating for a minute.

    Does it feel like there is a dark cloud over this team?

    like it transferred from the Rockets to the Astros and somehow stays over the texans no matter what?

    watching the Astros lose is not as fun as watching the Rockets lose

    To steal this from my sister, McCullers does know he can do things other than hit a batter, walk them or throw a wild pitch right?

    Imagine having two outs and the bottom of the order of the f-ing Tigers and you decide to come in with *that* slop.
