What a choke job of a half-inning.
So the Astros are good at the ABS thing?
Somebody may need to sit down with Jake and review the principles.
Jake, that pitch was almost as close to dead center of the zone as it was to being out of the zone.
I’m not sure what Burrow’s “expected era” is after this start but I do know that he can serve up a meat ball better than just about anyone in the league. Really about the only thing impressive about him so far.
It boggles my mind that Josh Miller still has a job.

Now Astros fans are doing it. SMH
The viral “shirtless section” at Oklahoma State University began on October 11, 2025 , during a home game against Houston, when fan Trent Eaton accepted a $10 bet from his sister to stand in an empty section of Boone Pickens Stadium, remove his shirt, and wave it.
- Rapid Spread: What started as a lone act quickly grew as other fans noticed Eaton on the jumbotron and joined him in Section 231 , which was later renamed “2-No-Shirty-1.”
- Viral Recognition: The movement gained national attention, with the stadium scoreboard declaring a “New World Record (Probably) Most Shirtless Guys in a Section,” and ESPN naming the fans their Fans of the Week .
- National Trend: The spectacle sparked a widespread “Tarps Off” trend across college football and Major League Baseball, with fans at schools like UCLA, Wisconsin, and Colorado replicating the shirtless, shirt-waving rituals.
- Context: The trend emerged during a difficult season for the Cowboys, who had just fired longtime coach Mike Gundy and were struggling on the field, serving as a morale booster for the fanbase.
Good fucking grief. Abreu challenges a pitch that almost bounces.
Can we DFA this guy, fer cryin out loud.
That’s why pitchers don’t challenge.
No wonder Abreu walks so many guys, he doesn’t understand the strike zone. Even worse than Jake.

Abreu gonna Abreu.
And Vazquez can’t challenge a clear strike because of Abreu’s dumbassery.
I wish you could put a guy on the 60 day IR for dumbassery.
And it’s 9-4
If he was DFA’ed would any team be stupid enough to claim him?
Some team would.
Are we done with the abreu experiment?
Yes.
Going into this season, Abreu was realistically looking at a $50M total deal.
He’s lit that all on fire.
There is no fucking way I take Abreu out if this game. I don’t care if he gives up 100 more runs.
Absolutely. And now he’s fucked things up so completely that they won’t even trade a bag of balls for him. They’ll just wait patiently until we can’t take it anymore and we cut him loose, and then they’ll pounce.
