Tommy Pham is a complete jackarse (I think he's been on something like 14 teams in 10 years) Steven Kwan is a player
Just unreal that we have 3 game lead still. The bed ******** Mariners have done this season will be marveled years to come . Cliffs: -Javieeeeeeeeerrrrrr! Fantastic outing. -Shoutout to Sanzhes. Start against lefty and hit plus 2 walks. -Ort came through. -Put Kimbrel back into garbage bin. -Diaz. This fking guy. His AB's are great big fk u for that part of team that fights to win and cares. He will hit couple of meaningless single HR's in big win/loss and overall be on little heater at latest next season. Have Caratini resigned and willing to listen offers for Diaz when value is bit higher. If you take Diaz attitude and (non) coachability out of Astros winning culture and insert into whole "don't give fk" clubhouse like Pirates,Rockies or White Sox that would be a comic relief to watch for a season. Hold my beer Luis Robert and watch me try to frame a pitch with my a*s still drunk from yesterdays balls out night. Talking about framing. Dude frames like 7yo playing around. When he feels like putting effort to catching, pitch is on corner strike already and he yanks it late and rough to middle like 10" having Umps being like stop that ****....ball. Imagine the AB's if we would have signed him already to 6-8y team friendly contract. Just so frustrating to watch. Even worse thing is that Diaz is already a name, when you don't demand better from him it gives permission to multiple others to go with whatever attitude.
It was 2 years ago. Diaz was still a good hitter last year. He’s having a bad season this year, it has nothing to do with Dusty. Dusty was wrong to play Maldy over him down the stretch in ‘23. He was a stubborn ******* about Diaz. We all know why. That’s not your first Dusty nut hugging post.
Interesting observation over last two games attended: Enron/Astros/MMP/Daikan played BIG last night for both sides. Several balls looked gone or near gone after contact.... only to come up just short. By the end of the game CF and RCF looked like it was the grand canyon, 500+feet away. The game before that (Rockies), it played SMALL.... cheap HR's everywhere. Better dimensions at every HS field (literally). Just thought it was sorta cool... much like how Wrigley becomes an entirely different place depending on the wind blowing in or out, Houston air quality or humidity making the difference as well (in conjunction with Drayton's desire to have the most quirky AF ballpark in modern history)? Romantic about baseball and the home ball club... ok back to CFB, lol!
That was funny...the end of that SEA-CLE game. Bwah hahahahahahahaha. I remember someone posting they were up 4-0 here and I thought "oh crap! one of those nights!" expecting a blowout or something.
Javier just needs to pound the top of the zone with fastballs and he immediately becomes a TOR level guy. A functioning Javier with Framber/Brown is really good in a playoff series.
I am still high on Yainer. The fact that he is playing a few days after that crossed up pitch just reaffirms his grit. He is having a bad season and seems aloof but he is a gamer. He will come up big.
I haven't been to the BUS since before covid, for reasons I'm at a loss to fully explain, but how's the "gameday experience"? Anything new of note? As long as they still stock beer, peanuts and hotdogs I'm good, but sometimes I'm with people who require a bit more "experience" than the actual game provides.
Almost called it MMP in that post, so I'm tired of changing names and I'll stick with the original, if it's ok with you
