    100% this. Love Ler! Also, in my humble opinion, Herb is their best drummer.

    True, especially with coming from a death/speed metal background, he truly reinvented himself in Primus.

    With that said, I too play bass, and Les is a bass god to me to, too. His little bass solo at around the 3:00 minute mark of Tommy the Cat is fantastic. And to play what he does while "singing" is impressive. He and Justin Chancellor of Tool are my all-time favorites, along with newly anointed god David John Levy of Unprocessed (at least from their earlier stuff.

    I think most regular watchers saw that coming. He needs to get on with his post playing career. He has value OFF THE FIELD.

    Listening to a Braves highlight from their booth mentioning they spoke Murphey's HR into existence, and I thought, " that's a GOD thing" and Dusty's version is, "Playing it into existence."

    Buckner sucks for both sides. We got some pitches according to gamegay. Strikes called balls for our pitchers and strikes called balls for our hitters.

    LOL, you found 7 games a year, bully for you.

    2022: 61% WP vs teams > .500
    2022: 69% WP vs teams < .500

    2021: 58% > .500
    2021: 59% < .500

    2020 doesn't count, but whatever:

    24% > .500
    58% < .500

    2019: 56% > .500
    2019: 73% < .500

    Put that in your spreadsheet :)

    The Astros clearly just suck early, regardless of competition. 4 years straight we've come out of the gate slow. It's downright bizarre how consistent the first 21 games have been.

    As short as it needs to be, but a maximum of 20 days (30 for pitchers).

    Yeah Ryan played 3 of 4 days

    The real question is has Abreu passed Montero?

    Maybe Dusty wanted to keep Montero 8th inning unless Pressly loses the closer role

    He would had more if a certain SS and third baseman wasn't completely ineffective at getting on base the first 10 games of the season.

    He did this last year when Presley was down too right? Montero in the 8th and Abreu in the 9th? That’s how he has his 3 saves before tonight? maybe I misremembered. Getting old sucks.

    I think he has, but not in the traditional sense where he becomes the setup man. More like he’s the guy you put in when the other team has there best hitters in, or you need him to save your ass from a jam.

    I think he’s better than Pressly, but I like the roles they both play.

    Bryan Abreu might be the best reliever in baseball.
