Swing the bat yordan

[WBT 20431]

Lulz, way to show your athleticism and flash the leather Haniger

[Honeysucklerose 960]

Swing the bat yordan

Like that.

[Dennis Taylor 18715]

That would have been one of the all time greatest throws if this was kickball

[Scraps 13547]

Hmmm...i like green haired sluts i guess

[WBT 20431]

There you go Straw.  He needs to pick up the pace to get to 60.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

No review? Looked like he was pulled off the bag by the throw.

[Scraps 13547]

Would've been close but let's examine the real problem....that bunt was shitty as fuck

[Gourmand 7774]

hosayyy hosay hosay hosaaayyyy

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Jose says fuck the Vid!

[Gourmand 7774]

fucking terrible call on Yordan, fuck you blue.

[Gourmand 7774]

well that was a fortuitous turn of events, need to break it open here. Tucker is due.

a run is kinda meh from that

[Gourmand 7774]

and Urquidy gives it right back

[Gourmand 7774]

Altuve is raking. 

[WBT 20431]

Encouraging that Urquidy made it through 6 tonight.  It would help the bullpen a ton if the starters can go 6+ most nights.

Good inning from Abreu too.

[WBT 20431]

Hello Rooms To Go chick, how you doing?  Much better than Eschenfelder and Stanton.

So if we knew Altuve was back today, maybe play Correa yesterday and wait until tonight to give him a day off?  Nah.

Why would want to deny Straw another chance at leadoff? He's only 1-16 as the Astros are 0-4 being outscored 22-13 in those games.

[WBT 20431]

Errbody gets 3 hits

[UTexasFight 9386]

That wasn’t nerve wracking watching Tuve throw 70’ across his body to try and get the lead runner...

[Gourmand 7774]

cmon Pressly.

great pitch to get Marmalejos

[elfenix 34189]

Astros win!

[Guadaloopy 10927]

[WBT 20431]

good win

[DaysOff 7854]

Really like winning.

[tx 3 putt 76442]

congrats to Dusty for moving into #13 on manger's win list 

[henrygandorf 29180]

urquidy might be our sp2. regardless, he’s a really solid sp3 and a great sp4 if javier keeps it up. 

it was clear he was uncomfortable in denver. he’s fine and floods the strike zone.

He was down 5-6 mph in Denver for almost the entirety of his start.  I was worried that he was injured but I guess the weather made him that uncomfortable.  The shape of his breaking pitches has improved a lot since he first arrived but he doesn't have the ability yet to keep them down.  I think he has a higher ceiling than what he's shown so far if he can make a few tweaks.

I'm not sure anyone could have expected anything from a blizzard.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Top of the order really worked that pitch count. 6 pitches. 

[HtownHorn 14498]

Damn Carlos neither of those 2 pitches were ever in the strike zone.

[ChickenSandwich 9798]

Nice turn 

[WBT 20431]

Glad we finally realized we're facing Marco Gonzales

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Marco?

[clapclapclap 9000]

Polo

[WBT 20431]

Hey Seattle, thanks for not shifting Tucker the way every other team does, you fucking morons.

[Honeysucklerose 960]

What can we do with straw?

[WBT 20431]

From that highlight, the amazing thing is that Nolan set the all-time K record and then pitched for 10 more seasons.

[WBT 20431]

Javier's season ERA just dropped below 1.00

[Guadaloopy 10927]

I thought Jamie Moyer retired.  

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Javier fucks

[clapclapclap 9000]

Javi Javi Javi!

[WBT 20431]

Great start

[Gourmand 7774]

Javier gave up two runs in his first start April 2nd.

In his three starts since he's 17 ip 8 H 0 R

Stud. 

[runthebone 7933]

Raley is in?  Hope we can come back and win this one late.

[Guest]

so was that more aggy or more Machete in the Zone?

 

Good lord that was a wicked salvo of pitches.  Where the fuck has that been all of our lives?
