Houston Astros 2023 Season on a daily roll

I wonder what happened to giving Abreu days off to rest his back? Not complaining, but it seems odd.

Two games in a row for Chas - big step, Dusty.

  1. Jose Altuve (R) 2B
  2. Jeremy Pena (R) SS
  3. Yordan Alvarez (L) DH
  4. Alex Bregman (R) 3B
  5. Kyle Tucker (L) RF
  6. Jose Abreu (R) 1B
  7. Michael Brantley (L) LF
  8. Chas McCormick (R) CF
  9. Martin Maldonado (R) C

He’s out of the game. 50 pitch count?

Opener, as opposed to starter.

I know someone else mentioned it a couple weeks back and it’s so true……when is Yainer gonna catch Framber and JV?

It stands to reason, we could have our backs against the wall in the playoffs and need our best lineup out there….not having Yainer catch these two at least once or twice is just as dumb as some of the other stuff Dusty does.

Anything less than a WS berth will doom Dusty.

Possibly Dana Brown as well.

How in the hell are they being shut down by a nobody at home???

Local sports radio has suggested on multiple occasions that Crane values David Sterns (Milwaukee) for the role of President of Baseball Operations and would use DB for player evaluation (draft) and development.

I thought it was the reverse.

Yeah, I’ve read that it was a big deal to DB to not have a president of baseball operations to deal with at the Astros. Hiring this dude would be smart, but it might lead DB to look elsewhere. If that happens, whatever - bye, I guess.

This offense can go totally silent against anyone, especially crappy teams.

Middle of a pennant race, one of your top pitchers throwing against one of the worst teams in baseball at home and you get smoked….what the hell???

Baseball is a funny game.

Had not heard that….other than 790 on iHeart I don’t get local.

I still find it hard to believe that Crane would go that route after one year……it’s not a good look.

Maybe Dana gave the pre-game speech?

LOL, Dusty has been telling them all week that the A’s wanted it more.

Sounds like Oakland and Rice have something in common.

This is the 2023 Astros. Go on a heater and look like they have it figured out, then turn around and throw one away. They’ve generally managed to win the series, so that’s something.

Crane can screw over James Click and get away with it. He can’t do the same to Dana Brown. If he tries then he’s a psycho.
