Gent played WR for the Cowboys during the end of the Dandy Don Merideth era.

Because Elliott was supposedly based on Gent, Dandy Don said after the book was released, “if I had known Gent was so good, I’d have thrown to him more.” :lol:

Complain about injuries all you want but two awful hires at GM and manager are the reason for this, and it’s not changing as long as those two morons are in charge.

This team has been below average to bad since that Dodger series last year.

They had that outlier stretch before that gave them enough cushion to contend for the division…game winning hits from Cooper Hummel and Zack Short among the highlights. :lol: A healthy Yordan gets them into the postseason but likely a quick exit.

I still maintain their refusal to address the OF…bad last year, simply putrid this year…is at the core of the struggles. I believe the reason for that is they still considered Altuve and Correa as superstar players who could pick up the slack for the poor outfield. Not only is Altuve no longer a superstar, he’s clearly on the decline. Correa, before his injury was still a solid player, but again not someone who can carry the team. A good GM has to recognize that. Whether Dana didn’t recognize it or if he did and Crane wouldn’t let him address it…who knows? The one guy they went out and got, had his swing ruined by our dogshit hitting coaches. Said guy is now in Toronto hitting 296 with an 804 OPS. Granted he’s only a play against RHP but I’ll take that over what we’re trotting out there now.

You can’t expect Pena to play 5 games in a row

Especially with an off day tomorrow.

Altuve is just a straight up bad hitter at this point. I fear this isn’t just a bad stretch.

Because of his hands of stone or because Houston fans will be screaming no more?

This is about to get ugly.

You don’t see MLB players mess up that bad like that 3rd baseman But I guess Cam Smith and Jake Meyers say hold my beers….. Altuve tried to top it off

That whole sequence was frickery at its finest.

But Joe won’t be outdone. he’s bringing in Abreu.
