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 don’t need the help.

I’ll never understand why the fuck Maldy is allowed to bat in these spots

STOP SWINGING AT THE SHIT!!!

It’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 Astros’ offense is offensive right now. Javier and France did their jobs the last two nights, and the offense couldn’t muster anything.

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

Altuve.

He’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 Cheadle’s character in Boogie Nights

I don’t give shit one about the stolen bases, but man, he’s been the exact opposite of a sparkplug since he’s been back.

I’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 wouldn’t say he’s getting a break, but when those numbers are far superior to your 4 and 5 hitters, it just doesn’t look so bad in comparison.
