re: DAT 6/20: Astros (Diesel) @ Anaheim (Yusei) 8:38 SCHN

noice

Never winnable

just tuned in for that bomb ugh

Time for bed.

Feels like we are down multiple runs but are in a tie game through 7.

Still feel as if there is no avenue for victory.

Alright, folks, buckle up for another Long Distance Dedication on American Top 40, where dreams go to shine and, apparently, Astros rallies go to die. This one’s from Houston, Texas, courtesy of a fan named Ryno, who’s got a bone to pick with his team’s 2025 season.

Ryno writes:

"Dear Casey,
I’ve bled orange and navy for the Astros since the Astrodome days, but this year’s squad is testing my sanity. Runners in scoring position? More like runners in permanent vacation! It’s a parade of weak grounders, lazy pop flies, and strikeouts so ugly they make the ump wince. I’m dedicating ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ by Pat Benatar to the 2025 Astros, because maybe a song will remind them what a ‘hit’ is supposed to look like. Help!"

Oh, Ryno, you poor soul, stuck watching the Astros treat runners in scoring position like they’re allergic to RBIs. It’s like their bats are swinging wet noodles out there—aiming for the stars but landing in the dirt by second base. So, here’s your dedication, fired off to the Houston lineup, who might need to check if their bats are still under warranty. From the Billboard Hot 100, it’s Pat Benatar’s ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’—because, Astros, we’re begging you to at least try to hit something before Ryno trades his season tickets for a therapy session!

That’s bad luck

Size 4 collar

K, I’m over Christian Moore again already

That was the hardest hit ball of the night so far too.
