Good win. Pitching staff has slowly stabilized.

I’m rooting for you. Have a couple for me.
Both of these things can be true:

Moffittt's stuff got stale here, even before 2019.

LSU firing him seemed to give him new life at Texas A&M

Yeah, it sucks that he's given Texas A&M an identity. But LSU had become soft with him here, and there's no guarantee things would have turned around had he stayed. Sometimes, people need a change of scenery to be rejuvenated after a down period.

- we’ve ran into good pitching recently which is why we can’t hit


The Twins ran a bullpen game Monday night, and that game was delayed by rain. Espada has to say things to fill time and notebooks, but he should at least pretend to put some effort into some of these quotes.
See if you can trade Burrows for a bag of balls. He's a loser.

Vazquez should have challenged the 1-2 call on Caratini, but there's no way that should have led to a 3-run HR after going no on, two out and a strike away from the inning.

Burrows is a guy with decent stuff but doesn't know how to win.

Gayle Benson and her Advisors instead decided to pick the upside of having the NFL pick the top traveling Steelers and having a "lottery", like they supposedly did when they hosted the Super Bowl and were allotted some tickets for Season Ticket holders as camouflage knowing that they could offload their whole allotment of Steelers Paris Tickets to brokers for 5X their face value.


I don't give a shite about all of that. What I hate about it is the Steelers are scheduled to play in New Orleans once every 8 years. There is the potential once or twice in that period for them to come to N.O. in between there if the standings fall a certain way in a given year, but that's a 1-in-4 chance twice in that 8-year period.

The Steelers last played a regular-season game in N.O. in 2018. And this is why I hate the international games. Don't like losing home games against opponents we don't play often. Don't like hosing divisional home games, if that were to ever happen.
The Astros have not won back-to-back series this season. Prepare yourselves accordingly.
Appears to be another casualty of our crack strength and conditioning program.
Should be a fireable offense that he wasn't.

I counted John Sterling as the first of three before Turner and Cox, given that Sterling was a full-time Braves broadcaster on TBS in the early-to-mid-1980s

The Dana Brown "everything will be roses" bit is equally tiresome.
These frickers just get up here and dive in front of the plate trying to lift balls in the dirt as if they're gonna hit a 500-foot HR on a slider in the dirt.. And we're talking about bottom-of-the-order guys. You need one fricking run, and it doesn't have to be a HR with a guy on first or second.

Some of these guys have no idea how to play the game of baseball.
Broken foot diagnosed 3 days from now. RIP, Cole.
Get a leadoff double, and then get essentially 3 pop-ups and the runner never moves off second. Dogshit, unintelligent baseball.
Cam Smith is why you can’t let Dana Brown handle the draft and the trade deadline this year.

Espada sucks but this team isn’t going anywhere, anyway. The far bigger problem to fix is whatever the frick is going on with ownership and the front office.
They're just gonna make him eat. I'm for it. Let Crane see how big of a turd sandwich he let Scott Boras talk him into buying. And Imai can eat it for being a pussy.
Eighteen million a year for a guy that can't find the strike zone until the bases are loaded and needs an interpreter for the pitching coach to talk to him.

If Jim Crane wants to just light money on fire, I'd be happy for him to send some to me.
