    You’re just a rabid Dusty apologist. You’re a clown.

    It’s just tough watching this team. We scored two of the 3 runs in the first and then nothing. So frustrating to watch. It doesn’t even appear like they’re trying to be competitive. It’s like watching April baseball with zero stakes. It’s like they’re all sedated. I guess on the bright side, we’re lucky to have a team in the hunt this late in the year.

    Rangers take another one from the Brew Crew. They’re heating up which is bad news for us

    They benched Altuve. Good.

    They’ve had significantly fewer total bases and hits than Milwaukee the last two games but won. Things could just as easily come apart for them too with their injuries. Baseball is hard to predict in small samples.

    Does batting Walker in the four spot make any sense to anyone?

    Nothing Espada does makes sense to anyone. Einstein couldn’t solve this.

    You have a bad lineup if you’re batting strikeout king Walker batting 4th.

    For the first time all year, the Astros can field a batting lineup with everyone above a .700 OPS. Welcome aboard Diaz.

    Swear they make every starter look good. Leave too many runners in scoring position. Too many games.

    "Life finds a way"

    Also, the full discussion:

    • Dr. Ian Malcolm: Gee, the lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here, uh... staggers me.
    • Donald Gennaro: Well thank you, Dr. Malcolm, but I think things are a little bit different then you and I had feared...
    • Donald Gennaro: Now, wait a second now, we haven't even seen the park...
    • John Hammond: No, no, Donald, Donald, Donald... let him talk. There's no reason... I want to hear every viewpoint, I really do.
    • Dr. Ian Malcolm: Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun.
    • Donald Gennaro: It's hardly appropriate to start hurling generalizations...
    • Dr. Ian Malcolm: If I may... Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now
    • [bangs on the table]
    • John Hammond: I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before...
    • Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

    4 innings and already 1-6 with RISP. I see things have changed.
