Fucking this.  I think I'd rather ramp up for the 9pm west coast games in exchange for 7pm at home.  8pm nearly every night is wearing me down.  Too many 8am webexes.

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Josh James coming in to tie it up.

We put in Stubbs as a defensive replacement for Garneau?  Is he really supposed to be better?  I didn't think Stubbs's defense/framing was supposed to be particularly strong but maybe I'm misremembering.

All of this... except Google Meet...and a parent company headquartered in the Eastern time zone, so 7am calls.

Big boy time for Taylor.

 

lets see what he’s got

Yep. Tuve had a couple power hitter years, but he isn't a power hitter.  He can get a bat on anything. He needs to be more Ichiro than McGwire.  Stop swinging for the fences and slap it into play.

Having 2/3rds of your starting lineup hitting in the .100s before the start of the game is pretty amazing.

But who cares when your pitching staff holds the team with the highest average in the majors to 2 hits.

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Glad to be wrong.  How sweet it is to see James, Taylor close this out.

[WBT 20,662]

Five in a row!!

[tx 3 putt 77,395]

[tx 3 putt 77,395]

James and Taylor to close it out is impressive 

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Impressive stuff from Taylor. And the rest of the pitching staff tonight. 

ASTROS WIN!!!

Yeah. Just bought the 10 dollar mlb tv upgrade from Astros only to league pass just to watch this bullshit.

I remember watching bilak in cc and thinking he was going the lefty out of the bullpen soon. Glad to see him stepping up this season

It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning.

DBacks need to walk this one off 

[Gourmand 7,774]

Man whatever happened to Khris Davis? That guy has just fallen off a cliff.

Definitely had a “fucking James” moment after the walk in the 8th, but this was a thing of beauty:

the pitching has been unbelievable.

We fans are gonna stroke out if the team doesn't start giving the pen a little more cushion for error.

"Ok boys, we've got the ( one run) lead.  Don't fuck it up by being less than perfect."
