Tying run at the plate, two out…

C’mon, Tuck. Be The Man.

See the ball. Hit the ball.

C’mon Tuck!

And we’re finally out of our misery. What a fucking disaster this team is right now.

Son of a bitch. That was a dumpster fire of a series.

The Twins traded Steer to the Reds as part of the deal for Tyler Mahle. The Reds signed De La Cruz out of the Dominican Republic in 2018.

Got absolutely abused by the Reds this weekend.

BULLSHIT. I am so fucking tired of this.

Titanic clash of struggling teams starts tomorrow. Somebody has to win.

There are still 90 games to go, but the Astros have to start doing the little things better. When you have bases loaded in the ninth inning of a tie game at home, you need to get the man on third home.

There is no, and I mean no, part of the Astros as a team that is collectively doing its job right now.

If it’s not one thing one game, it’s something else the next.

Yeah, Crane waited way too long to replace Click, but the two decisions everyone blamed him for aren’t the problem. Montero would still be on the team without his extension. At the time Abreu was a completely non-controversial signing, not a big gamble. Replacing him with another season of late career Gurriel would have made a tiny bit of difference at best. This team is much more than tiny bit away from being good right now.

I agree. During this stretch, some games their pitching is letting them down, some games they pitch well and don’t hit and sometimes they are beating themselves defensively. They also are struggling with situational hitting.

This is going to culminate in JV beating Framber 1-0 on an unearned run while we leave 9 on base.

Good deal. I stand corrected. Must have misunderstood what I heard on a podcast. Thanks!

There is a logical fallacy though of some kind in simply defending the two moves Crane made and saying therefore there is no reason to throw shade on the decision not to have a GM for most of an off-season when we don’t know what might have been different had there been a GM for most of the offseason.
