    Don’t mess around with 7-9 hitters.

    Nice win for the boys. Seattle defense bailed us out tonite, along with Meyers clutch hitting. Love the dude. No more Raley in Seattle please.

    Won in spite of Dusty for what, the 25th time this season?

    It's a broken record at this point.

    Nice W!!! Let's go take care of business the rest of this series and put this division out of reach in the near future!

    Now that Raley pitched tonight, Bielak is in line to pitch tomorrow.

    Tucker is now hitting.281. 2 RBIs and a run scored tonight. Now, if he can stay off the sick list.

    If I remembered correctly, Graveman never pitched in the 2 games in Seattle when he got traded. I think Dusty is being too careful with Graveman.

    I absolutely ****ing love this Dusty v reporter exchange so much:

    "I thought you'd get [Graveman] up in the eighth once you took the lead."

    "[Dusty gives Stanek reasons]....You mean instead of who?"

    "He's your setup man, so I thought he would pitch the eighth."

    "Hey man, you're not the manager."

    "I know, that's why I'm asking you."

    I also loved it (Chandler Rome confirmed it was him, btw). But I wished he’d asked about Graveman or even Javier in the 7th.

    His framing of the question as Graveman being the “setup man” validates Dusty’s traditional mindset vs the “toughest outs” approach most of us wish he’d take.

    Dusty is illogical. Raley is garbage. Get rid of both and we’ll all be happier.

    Stanek throwing better than Graveman Dusty? Graveman last 3 games….3 innings, 1 hit and no runs. Is Dusty pissed cause he gave up a hit in 3 outings:(

    I wasn't going to say it officially until we won Game 1 of this series against Seattle, but I think it's about time. @The Drake @J.R. @Nook

    WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE WORLD SERIES AGAIN AND WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE WHOLE DAMN THING!

    Also, I'm afraid we're going to need a hurricane to hit the city before October rolls around. We're 0 for 2 in WS opportunities ('05 and '19) where a hurricane didn't ravage Houston. I just give the prophecy, don't shoot the messenger!
