If that's really 485 that's gotta be the longest this year. I think it's closer to 450.

This rain is gonna be an issue.

Holy shit Yermin hit that to the concourse.

Little did TLR know...he couldn't be trusted to field anything.

This is what happens when Shelley Duncan is your advanced stats guy.

Yeah Williams was decent at the plate when he came up. Not sure what happened to him in the past 2 years though.

He said something along the lines of "it's on me". I'd consider that taking responsibility.

This is all on JR. Let the front office who built you the competitive team put the finishing touches on the roster.

Ricky did admit he fucked up with the bullpen in the last week of last season. Specifically with Rodon in Cleveland.

Imagine you're this FO and you build an up and coming team after half a decade of sucking. You finally get the right core pieces, fire your incompetent babysitter manager, and then the owner comes in and says he wants to hire a 77 year old to be a manager that hasn't managed in a decade. Oh and that manager also gets to call pretty much all the shots of who he wants. 7 games into the season, it's clear that the manager is behind the times. Oh and the guy we paid most of our off-season budget to has appeared in just one meaningful situation.

Is Abreu wearing Eloy's batting gloves?

Houston has a competent analytics department that can keep older guys like Dusty in check. It's pretty clear TLR is the analytics department at this point.

Too bad he doesn't get used unless it's a save situation or when he hasn't pitched in almost a week.

lol it's like nothing has changed from the previous manager.

Between this and Madrigal saying he can get 3000 hits...it's like our guys are too full of themselves.

I'm more or less talking about his at bats. He'll put together a real good PA once a game. Leury looks completely clueless. And yes, Eaton has been subpar defensively so far.

What hurts is that one of them could have been used to prevent this lead.

At least Eaton looks competent. Awesome to see we're using our best relievers in a 4 run game we're losing when they could have been used to prevent that 4 run lead just an inning ago.

Ricky did the same shit with Rodon and Bummer last year. He pitches Rodon an inning earlier and then put in Bummer when Rodon blew the lead.

Yeah cause our bullpen rarely blew leads. The bullpen has blown 3 out of 7 games already.

Bummer should have been in to face Seager if you planned on using him.

Seattle hits 3 duck snorts the previous inning and gets 7 runs. We hit the ball hard once and it ends up in a double play.

No that ball rolled past 3rd base. If there's a runner on first on the next batter we get at least one on the force instead of the bases getting loaded.

He did get unlucky, but it was also clear he couldn't put Ty France away no matter what. France is on fire right now, but still.

Yeah they came back down 6-1 against SF. I'm surprised they won 2 of 3 against the Giants.
