Pimply Misshapen Asses @ Astros - 16 Jun 23

Just a bad take machine today.

Jesus Maldy

A bunt would have been preferable to that 2-strike ā€œswingā€

Fucking Christ, blue. They donā€™t need the help.

Iā€™ll never understand why the fuck Maldy is allowed to bat in these spots

STOP SWINGING AT THE SHIT!!!

Itā€™s absolutely amazing to me how many hittable 2 strike pitches the Astros are whiffing on lately.

I think we may need to resign ourselves to the Astros not being in the World Series this year.

Right now they feel like a Wild Card loser at best.

Yankees lose 15-5.

The Astrosā€™ offense is offensive right now. Javier and France did their jobs the last two nights, and the offense couldnā€™t muster anything.

You know who has gotten a break from us so far?

Altuve.

Heā€™s hitting .243, has just 3 SB and obp is just. 349.

Get it going, Jose.

Your services are needed.

On a lighter note, Brantley was down at the end of the dugout messing with Julia today. He stole her mic at one point and was giving her a sunflower seed shower later in the game. He seems to be in a pretty good mood.

Pretty sure that was Don Cheadleā€™s character in Boogie Nights

I donā€™t give shit one about the stolen bases, but man, heā€™s been the exact opposite of a sparkplug since heā€™s been back.

Iā€™d like to have his smiling face in the lineup as soon as possible.

Man, Bregman got a fat one and hit it with a rolled up newspaper.

A .349 OBP when you have a .243 average is not bad. The .243 average is the problem.

I wouldnā€™t say heā€™s getting a break, but when those numbers are far superior to your 4 and 5 hitters, it just doesnā€™t look so bad in comparison.
