    Y’all I didn’t want to get ahead of myself, but I’ve been called up and finally getting a chance to live out my lifelong dream to play 2B for the Astros tonite! Wish me luck!

    The most important series of the year.

    Not sure if the team will show up but we'll see.

    Not yet. Making the post-season is still completely in the Astros control. One scenario they have to win 4 of the remaining 6 games, the other 5.

    To win the division they would need help.

    I am less interested in the lineup and more in whether they have another gear.
    Usually, I am confident they can reach down and find a way to win when they have to.
    Not so sure this year.
    Surely, they have been trying to do that at least for the last 2 weeks, right?

    Or as some have suggested, is there a cancer eating away at these guys minds we dont know about?

    Have you ever had a terrible boss and manager that beats the life out of you? It’s not fun.

    The cancer eating away/extra gear is the sitting good players on the bench. The Astros, despite all the injuries and pitcher fatigue, should be fighting to stay in the lead and/or resting guys as they coast.

    Yes, I think most of us agree that is a problem.
    I was thinking about something above and beyond that.

    Garbage ass lineup. Looking forward to seeing Dusty out of here.

    With the lineups being questioned, I think Dusty has double downed on his approach.

    Given how important tonight and this series is, if we were going to see a change, today would be it. Instead, we get the same old lineup for a JV start as if it’s a random Monday in July.

    I hope the team finds a way to kick it into gear, but I’m not hopeful. Dusty cares more about being right vs putting out a lineup with the best change of winning at this point. It’s a shame.

    Dusty saving mad Max for a pinch hit appearance against the closer for his MLB debut.
