I know he’s trying, but Diaz is damn near an automatic out right now.
Top 4.
Nola pitching.
Bregman - F8 on sinker.
Tucker - fouls off outside curve, changeup low and away, fouls off FB (middle middle), changeup low and away, changeup low and away, lines FB right to Castellanos. F9.
Gurriel - singles to left center on a cutter.
Vazquez - throw to first, singles to right on a cutter. Gurriel to second.
(Smoltz noting how Houston’s DH have not delivered).
Diaz - grounds out 6-3. Sigh.
Mid 4. Astros 0. Phillies 0.
I would not have had him batting anyway. But dusty.
Just to remind everyone, after the Astros lose another World Series Crane is going to re-up Dusty and fire Click.
The Astros are going to turn into a baseball version of the Texans, but with some talent, for now, at least.
He’s in a very bad way.
Dusty’s fever dream.
Can we at least make it to the 7th inning stretch before we start GMing the next decade?
Fuck it. I’m gonna go start my lawn tractor. I’ve got a garden wagon full if sticks to haul down to the burn pit and set on fire. I don’t know what else to do. My neighbors already know I’m a kook.
Astros DHs are 1 for 14
That’s twice now that the most hopeless hitter on the team(other than Mancini) comes up in the biggest spot. Fuck
This game.
Right
Keep battling Javier
Need another zero, Cristian.
Our only hope.
I’ll take Brantley with one good shoulder.
Hell, I’d almost take Bagwell in the DH spot. They don’t seem to have a plan.
I also expect Dusty to start Dubon in CF tomorrow.
Ha! Fuck that motherfuucker
Why the hell do they have to mute everything so you can hear them introduce Harper on the field and hear his walk on song. Time to activate the Worrell button.
I’d rather have Dubon DH than Diaz or Mancini right now. Either Hensley, Vazquez or him would be fine.
Both Diaz and Mancini are not competitive at the plate right now.
