This is a solid, veteran crew.
No flaming assholes here.
Porter is usually really good behind the plate.
Laz Diaz, on the other hand, is an adventure behind the plate.

Didn’t you say going in that the last crew wasn’t bad or am I full of shit?
Diaz will be behind the plate in Game 3 in Boston. Porter would be behind the plate in a Game 6. This would be the setup for a Game 7.
Y’all gotta win this one without me. I know that tears you up. Weeks ago before the playoffs started, I bought tickets to a play tonight. I am taping the game and will leave my phone in the car so I will not be constantly checking the score. That would be as rude as wearing a hat indoors.
Bring a win home, boys and girls! Go Astros!

I said there weren’t any flaming assholes on the crew, yeah.
Previous post:
No flaming assholes in that group at all, which is nice.
Hallion and Fairchild obviously have been in a bunch of playoff games and are pretty good. Vic Carapazza’s had some pretty awful games behind the plate this season, but nobody on this roster is going to scream “I do whatever I want!” at whatever assistant comes out when Dusty gets stuck in the bathroom again/can’t find his toothpick and can’t argue a big missed call in the playoffs.
Hallion obviously proved me wrong about him being pretty good, but again, no Ron Culpas in this group.
Yeah being bad at your job and being Ron Culpa are definitely two very different thing. Even though Cole is still on my shit list, I still burn when I think of Culpa
The fact that Culpa is still a big league up after that temper tantrum tells you all you need to know about the MLB Umpires union.
Accountability is definitely not part of their credo.

He was just following the example set by the leader of the union
What play?
City Theatre
Wonder of the World, I think the title is. A comedy.
Small local theater, but the productions are good.
Just looked it up—the playwright wrote Rabbit Hole, which was turned into a Nicole Kidman movie. If his comedies are as funny as his dramas are brutal you are in for a treat.
Meanwhile hopefully the rest of us aren’t dealing with a brutal drama ourselves.
I’m relieved Lance is not worst case. Sucks that we won’t be able to contribute. That’s a real blow obviously.
Those are of mutually exclusive possibilities.

I’m not gonna volunteer that I am indeed full of shit but nor can I deny it
So we proceed w/o LM; we can still advance in this series

Why was his throwing hand even exposed? Was he going to throw out a runner at 2B?
Not every catcher puts his right hand behind his back. “It will never happen to me” syndrome, maybe?
