re: DAT 8/17: Orioles (Cy Young) @ Astros (Javi) 1:10

It’s tough to religiously follow a team managed to play in a fashion diametrically opposed to all you’ve known to be fundamental in the game You hate these things when you witness them in games not involving your team, and you just can’t unsee them when they are playing As conflicted as following LSU with Les Miles

It can’t be stated better than that. LSU under Miles is a perfect analogy. You can’t say something like that on TD because you would get the typical “well then don’t watch.” Which we all know is bullshite but then again that’s why we’re the DAT.

Just a matter of feeling like this team is capable of better, yet they continue with the same shite philosophy.

Your comment about what we’ve known to be fundamental…last night’s extra inning shitshow was a perfect example. I won’t argue analytics work, but I’ll argue that it’s less entertaining all day long.

No 1 - frick Tucker. I’m so glad we traded him. He’s such a pussy - when things are going well, he’s such a “team player”. But as soon as thing go south, he turns into the biggest pouting puss ever.

No 2 We suck. Can we make the playoffs with our 69 wins and just keep hoping other teams lose?

Mariners are about to lose again and the Astros couldn’t use the opportunity of playing a bad Baltimore team at home to extend their lead

Here’s where we are:

At least the Mariners lost

And maybe Javier just shat himself rather than his arm falling off…maybe.

And banking on Yordan coming back and being way better than he was early in the season following 3 months off while also making everyone else in the lineup better as well.

And finally hoping the additions of JP France and Luis Garcia can transform the recently turned shitty bullpen back into a strength by whatever means necessary.

3 months off for a “hand contusion”

Meanwhile Judge comes back on the first available day following his injury and Muncy comes back a week earlier than expected after what looked like a catastrophic season ending leg injury and hits two HRs in his second game back.
