Astros & sTrangers - 9/7/22

Wtf?

The fuck was that?

When youā€™ve got speed on the bases, you have to try and take advantage.

Through threeā€¦Astros being no-hit, trailing 3-0

Maybe three dozen oysters?

That reeks of desperationā€¦desperation you created with this bullshit lineup.

If these guys donā€™t want to be managed by Dusty again next year, they need to get going.

I think the players generally like being managed by Dusty.

Iā€™d check those water temps before diving into a bunch of TX Gulf oysters just yet. That and all the runoff from the rains inland

We have a friend who is a professor of oysterology at Texas A&M Corpus. He was brought in from Florida to help kickstart Texas oyster farming. He says that the reason you donā€™t eat summer oysters is not because of water temperature, that thereā€™s not much safety difference in August Gulf temperatures and October Gulf temperatures, but because oysters are all flacid, unplump, and unpleasant from summer spawning. If youā€™re in general good health, and the water is clean, you should be able to eat any seasonā€™s oysters, they just arenā€™t as good.

Thatā€™s what he says anyway. Texas, by the way, is one of the few states that hasnā€™t moved its oyster production to farming, where safety is easier to control.

Itā€™s not. I just always say it because it sounds like it should be real.

Tuckerā€™s hands must be perpetually filthy.

Gurriel is never going to hit another home run, is he?

Thatā€™s cool to know!

Now ask him about the runoff.

Thatā€™s what gives them their distinctive flavor

Astros first hit is an RBI knock from Yuli!

Just like Dusty planned it!

I think thatā€™s the clean part.

Now heā€™s got Mancini in place to tie it up.
