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, 454’

Bielak now throwing center cut slop

It’ll all turn around.

Mariners should have blown this open already the way he’s throwing

B3:

After the home run…single, double play, double…E3…2-0 Mariners

Right at Abreu and it went right between his legs.

End of three…2-0 Mariners.

He’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.

It’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 who’s a disaster and pay Montero three times his market value.

The dictionary entry for ā€œAAAA pitcherā€ has Bielak’s photo beside it.

Of course, it doesn’t help when his first baseman impersonates a croquet wicket.

I don’t blame Bielak. He tries his best, he is what he is. Other guys have to step up and they simply haven’t.

I blame the null set interim GM who thought we didn’t need pitching.

We didn’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, I’m even more annoyed at his defensive lapses. He can always control his effort there.

Exactly right. I’m not blaming him either. It’s a small population of people who can be effective major league pitchers; he’s not in it.
