    Clowing a rookie pitcher?

    Just went back to look, the how to throw/hold the baseball? Yeah I missed that.



    Both are dumb.

    Laureano took offense to a HBP that wasn't intentional and Cintron's team is about to get swept and "his" bats haven't done **** and he's over there chirping? Take your base and Cintron needs to sit down.

    LOL Just so dumb. So dumb. By both sides. Don't want to hear any crying when suspensions are handed out.

    Bob Melvin was unsure why Austin Allen also got ejected. Surprising that nobody from the Astros side was tossed.

    Josh Reddick: "We're just not getting the job done right now and that's pretty unacceptable on all of our parts."

    Josh Reddick: "I think it's too early to start panicking and get out of our comfort zone."

    So of all three fielders that were part of the Astros org- one crushes us, one wants to fight us and one wants to give us hugs but cant because of covid. Got it.

    I miss him too. But I dont think even he could resurrect this mess.

    It's a trifecta, apparently.

    You've gone from Phil Nevin, to SNY, to JdJOrtiz. Solid.

    Your twitter game is lacking in this forum.

    And to be totally honest: I do not give a ****, fire them if they need it. But you seem fixated on certain individuals.

    Whatever. Astros should probably be a little embarrassed after that series. I am.

    The nightmare continues. And the baseball world is enjoying every minute of it.

    Sure they are. The Astros earned it. The Astros are lucky there are no fans in the stands to heckle them for cheating using an idiotic trash can lid. Only time can heal that, but it won’t be soon. They’ll get heckled assuming there’s a 2021 season.

    How far have they fallen? Using a relief pitcher in the 8th inning of a two-run game Saturday that was an A baller in 2019.

    It’ll get worse in 2021 with half the offense leaving. The door is closing on the Astros.

    He wouldn’t have been here this season anyways but yeah I miss him too. He just knew how to get the most out of guys. Baker might be too old school for this team and/or they put him in a lose-lose situation.

    Oh go **** your mother Jose. There is nothing special about Latin culture and insulting mom’s. Stop coming up with excuses.

    Baker doesn’t have Cole, Verlander, Urquidy, Peacock, Harris, Smith, Osuna.... Alvarez or Chirinos....

    Pretty sure that is a lot of it
