Astros at Cubs, 4/24/24

If he wants to climb out of the hole while driving in a run I’ll take it.

That was the same fucking pitch to Yordan. Fuck, blue.

The entire rotation being on the IL might have something to do with it. I’m as big a fan of Maldy as anybody, but saying his absence caused this is the same as the Cardinals last year. It was horseshit last year for them, and it’s horseshit this year for us.

The fuck, Peña?

I’m fine with Singleton starting over Abreu.

Goddamnit. Peña’s on 3B with one out of he wasn’t a fucking idiot.

Awful baserunning. As bad as it gets

He hesitated coming around first on soft hit to LF. I could’ve thrown him out.

Huge strikeout by Dubin. Now would be a great opportunity for the Astros to unfuck themselves.

I guess they won’t.

Maybe Crane is angling to move the team to some other city and we don’t know it yet.

On the season, with 2 outs, RISP the Astros are slugging a combined .280

But we’re good at 2out WORISP hit. That’s how you keep the team OPS+ up while playing .250 ball. It takes a very select skill set.

In case anyone is wondering:

HR Loperfido, J (11, 1st inning off Castellanos, H, 0 on, 1 out).

Victor Caratini has played a fair amount of 1B in his career. I’m just saying…

Dubin his job.

They suck me in just to see Singleton pulling that shit??

Peña needs to stop trying to bounce every throw. That’s just stupid.

That’s some lousy luck for Caratini.

Nice piece of hitting.

Unrewarded.
