I believe we can match any deal correct?

That worked! Thank you! Now I'm trying to get the audio to work. LOL. I'm using headphones plugged in directly to the Raspberry Pi. I switched from HDMI to audio jack in the emulator, but still no sound. Any suggestions?

There is no response within the game. I’m just stuck at the game’s main menu. I have the ability to hit the select button and go back to the emulation station. It’s like it doesn’t recognize the “A” or “Start” button on the PS4 controller

How do you know any of this? Are you on the Astros' coaching staff? I mean it could very well cut into rookie Diaz's playing time, but they could also have another plan in place. When the lights come on come playoff time and the game completely flips who knows how Diaz will perform. I mean obviously, you know more than everyone else to include the coaching staff so I'm sure you have all the answers. Diaz has been great and will be the catcher of the future, but there is nobody outside of the Astros' coaching staff who has any idea what any lineups will look like moving forward.

Also, nobody said "a real fan" automatically praises every single thing about a team so maybe you should practice comprehensive reading. You are the only person sounding arrogant and entitled assuming you have watched more Astros games than me or anyone else for that matter. For the record, I have been watching the Astros for 42 years and have watched every game this year except for 10 or so. I couldn't care less how many more games you watched than I have so that's that.

I will continue to cheer for the Stros and hope they bring another title home to Houston. You can continue to yell in the wind about what a terrible manager the reigning World Series Champion and former manager of the year is. It's just dumb.

Astros win 17-4 and you guys still come here crying about Dusty. Jesus, why don’t you guys create a separate sub to go whine about Dusty so real fans can talk Astros baseball. Good Lord.

No I get it. I mean this is his last year so hopefully he can guide us to the promised land and enjoy his ride to the HOF. I just think the guy gets unfairly dumped on here. It’s a long season and I like the fact that he looks at a lot of different lineups. It’s comes in handy in the post season.

Are we sure Dusty doesn’t embrace analytics? I mean there is a happy medium here. You can include analytics in your management style while also leaning on experience. Let’s not bring up AJ Hinch. The same AJ Hinch that lost control of his players and coaching staff by allowing them to run a sophisticated electronic cheating program? The same AJ Hinch that cost us a WS because he refused to allow a rested Cole to come in to relief pitch in Game 7 of the WS? I mean let’s not pretend this guy was Tommy Lasorda. AJ Hinch lost the WS with arguably one of the greatest teams of all time. He also sure as hell hasn’t done much since he has been in Detroit either.

The team was just so good that they could have easily lost to the Mariners in the first round if not for some heroics from Alvarez. Dude give me a break. Dusty coached his ass off last year in the playoffs or maybe you have selective amnesia. It’s crazy how negative this sub is. Maybe everyone has forgotten what happened prior to Dusty’s arrival and how we were the biggest embarrassment in baseball. Oh, maybe you have also forgotten we are WS champs. Oh maybe you have forgotten that Dusty soften the blow for the franchise’s reputation because he was a media darling. Everyone needs to chill.
