9/4/24 Astros @ Reds

Heyward down on strikes

Salazar, pinch hitting for Diazā€¦carved up

And that puts a cap on this stinker. 12-5 is the final

Take away that error in the first inning, and this is a different ballgame. Last eight innings itā€™s 5-3 Astros.

Before his careerā€™s over, Iā€™d like to see Dubon play all 9

Who was the last Astro to do thatā€¦Candaele?

That Tecovas commercial annoys me to no end. Just get your fucking boots re-soled for 1/10th the price.

They have Austin/Texas panache now, and I read recently theyā€™re expanding into about 20 new states.

Kind of like Torchyā€™s Tacos.

Candaele never pitched or caught.

And the answer isā€¦Jake Elmore in 2013.

You could have given me an infinite amount of monkeys on an infinite amount of typewriters and Iā€™m not sure ā€œJake Elmore of the Houston Astros played all 9 positions in his MLB careerā€ would have popped up.

He played them all in that one season for the Astros. I donā€™t even remember him.

All in 1 season is even better.

I have no idea who he is.

A handful of players have done it in the same game, but no Astro.

I guess the silver lining is this game only counts for one loss.

On this dark day we, well at least I, shall raise a glass to Jake Elmore, if for no other reason, because I need a fucking drink.

We should have an official Jake Elmore Day around here.

Either 9/4, or someone should text him to get his opinion. Fuck it 9/4.

Right, I knew no Astro had done that in a season, thanks for the Elmore knowledge on a guy in his career.

Elmore got P and C in the same game, August 19th, 2013

He got the 9th, CF, on September 10th.

He also DH, PH, PR that season, so he was 12-12

Each inning we drink a different spirit.
