Yessir! Looking forward to seeing Dave tonight for the umpteenth time and now in the 4th different state! 🙌 [1st time that it’s been the opener of the tour]

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

And what do ya know? They start Reed today, he goes 7-for-12, scores 16 pts and the Rockets get a huge road win in OKC…

Btw, the Rockets average 117 points when he starts (5-1 record). Lean into it more

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

This is wayyyy too big of a game for Rich Eisen…

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

The other issue is this team doesn’t seem to have another speed.

2-3 without Steven Adams, including 0-3 when he has to sit during a back to back.

Without him, they were out rebounded by the worst rebounding team in the NBA last night!

Need to be able to win in multiple ways

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Another brutal loss. Lots of red flags with this 17-9 team:

🔘6-8 in ‘clutch’ games, which ranks 20th (11-1 otherwise)
🔘1-4 in OT games
🔘9-7 on the road
🔘1-5 vs teams with better records than them
🔘0-3 in the second night of a back to back

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

This will probably be better for the fans of these MiLB teams. DBH typically does a good job w/ their teams

Don’t love it from the Astros ownership perspective though

But also, my conspiracy is that DBH is some sort of front for MLB & this is all the start of something bigger

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Drafting a young QB for a failing coach has become the NFL version of having a child to save the marriage… it doesn’t work. And it’s harmful for the QB/child

No better example than Eberflus last yr. Was clear he wasn’t the guy. Just rip the band-aid off & start fresh w/ new QB

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

YouTube TV & Disney are doing everyone a favor by blacking out this game…

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Pros:

🟢Astros will get an immediate boost in year 1 - has happened everywhere he has gone
🟢Hits for average
🟢Cuts down on K’s 🙌

Cons:

🛑BIG small ball guy (22 more bunts than any other team)
🛑Cuts down on power 😬
🛑Had 1 year left on deal. Padres let him walk… 🤔

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Oh my…

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Great bounce back on a short week for the Texans. #htownmade

Kyle Shanahan has now lost 6 straight road games vs top 10 defenses, failing to cover in any of those, too. I believe 1-9 in his last 10 of those instances. Defense still > offense?

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Blue Jays were 11th in homers this year. They had plenty of extra base hits and runs vs the Yankees

Mariners pitching > Yankees pitching

Relying solely on HRs usually dont work either, ask the Yankees. 4 of top 8 HR hitting teams missed the playoffs (3/4 had losing records)

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Also, the Texans wasted $17M on 3 games of CJ Gardner-Johnson & 68 snaps of Cam Robinson… yikes 🗑️

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Who could’ve seen this coming… 🙄 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Now 1-6 with a 6.42 ERA since the trade deadline. Astros are 1-8 in his last 9 starts 🤮

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Greatest night in wrestling history (NWO forming being #2)… led to the best 4 year run of professional wrestling in the industries history 🙌

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

He also returned 3 weeks quicker than when he suffered a similar/same injury with the Astros…

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Makes sense now…

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

What’s sad is the fact that the Steelers have the same Super Bowl odds as the Texans… (12th best in NFL)

[Luke Mauro @MauroOnTheMic]

Just saw @andrewperloff bringing La Croixs home moments after also meeting Jordan Clarkson on the streets of Brooklyn. #Random
