Astros @ Mariners, May 7, 2023

1-0 Mariners

Hanging curve, right down the center square and Rodriguez deposits it in the LCF seats 450-something feet away.

110.7 mph, 454ā€™

Bielak now throwing center cut slop

Itā€™ll all turn around.

Mariners should have blown this open already the way heā€™s throwing

B3:

After the home runā€¦single, double play, doubleā€¦E3ā€¦2-0 Mariners

Right at Abreu and it went right between his legs.

End of threeā€¦2-0 Mariners.

Heā€™s multidimensionally shitty

Can we have a do-over on the Jose Abreu deal? At a minimum, Dusty needs to give him a few days to clear his head and try and get right.

Itā€™s almost like you should have a GM for this shit

Astros are lucky to be down two. It should be about 7-0

Crane and Bagwell co GM, they get Abreu whoā€™s a disaster and pay Montero three times his market value.

The dictionary entry for ā€œAAAA pitcherā€ has Bielakā€™s photo beside it.

Of course, it doesnā€™t help when his first baseman impersonates a croquet wicket.

I donā€™t blame Bielak. He tries his best, he is what he is. Other guys have to step up and they simply havenā€™t.

I blame the null set interim GM who thought we didnā€™t need pitching.

We didnā€™t until the devil came to collect.

I was told Crane makes all the decisions anyway

True. Abreu should at least be hitting like a right-handed version of Michael Brantley, based on his second half of last season. But, Iā€™m even more annoyed at his defensive lapses. He can always control his effort there.

Exactly right. Iā€™m not blaming him either. Itā€™s a small population of people who can be effective major league pitchers; heā€™s not in it.
