Mariners @ Astros, 8/20/2023

They really, really needed to get a bat at the deadline…

Yeah, I am glad he had his dream game but I’m ready for Jose Abreu to come back.

That was a nice game. But he’s been absolutely terrible his whole career. His “career year” he hit .168 and slugged .335 with 134 strike outs. And that was a decade ago. I get they want a feel good story, but he cannot hit fifth or sixth for a team that wants to make the Postseason. He just can’t

This really feels like 2016, struggling to compete with a stars and scrubs mix (this time mostly due to injuries, not roster construction). They’ve been on a better pace this year than 2016, largely because the ‘scrubs’ (career backups and unheralded rookies) have over-performed.

This was about the point in the season where the 2016 team began to unravel as the bullpen was overworked into pink slime. It’s a good thing we won’t have to worry about that this year… oh, wait…

Can somebody fucking tell Dusty that it’s fucking August and he’s a in fucking postseason race. This isn’t fucking last year with a 10 game lead. Stop fucking around and win the game in front of you. Jesus fucking christ. You have been around this game long enough to know that if you fuck around, you will lose. Stop dicking around and playing the long game. Yes 162 is a marathon, not a sprint but we don’t have 162 left, we have 37 left. The time to run is now, fucking throw walking stick away and either run or fall on your fucking face. I cannot fucking believe this team has dicked around like they have. If Tucker was able to play, he should have fucking been in the lineup. Parker fucking Mushinski should not be in a 1 run fucking game. Period. You just got swept by the fucking Mariners and you managed the games like it was a fucking exhibition against the Savanah Bananas in March. Fuck you Dusty. Fucking retire.

Around 40 days left, the last 10 days of the season for the Astros-Rangers-Mariners is a doosy.

Hope it’s interesting!

Sure.
