DAY BASEBALL Y'ALL

[Mez2 4022]

Garcia reminds of me a bass player from Harlingen tejano cover band. 

[Gourmand 7774]

Damn McCormick just missed making the catch of the year. Not even sure Reddick could've made that one.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Pretty good effort by Chas attempting to rob that HR

[Mez2 4022]

Happy birthday shep, hope the Astros,  or Phil, don't ruin it

He looks like one of the Colombian drug lords in Crocodile Dundee II.

[HtownHorn 14500]

I like this Garcia kid, he's got a good pitch mix and can locate.

Garcia, Framber, McCullers, Javier, and Urquidy will make less than $20M next year.

There is no reason we can't get a better lineup around that rotation.

Take McCullers out and those other 4 will cost about $5M. Framber will be in arb1 and will get a nice raise. 

[WBT 20432]

Maybe get a fucking hit?

[mbtex 683]

Why the fuck does Dusty send out AAA lineup.

Ummm… guys?

[Gourmand 7774]

Carlos saves the day

[Guadaloopy 10927]

There we go.  No mo no-no.  

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Yuli gonna be big here.  

[Gourmand 7774]

A's won so these damn bats need to wake up.

[Gourmand 7774]

Wow good job Raley, I couldn't even take a piss in time to catch that inning.

[runthebone 7933]

Checking in now from work...one goddam hit?

You can’t say god damn on the radio. 

[WBT 20432]

At least Garcia and the pen showed up today?

[runthebone 7933]

Don't worry, Altuve isn't going to let his BA fall below .300

[WBT 20432]

Ted ph-ing instead of Brantley to leadoff the inning doesn't seem ideal.  Maybe Brantley is nursing something?

[mbtex 683]

I was at that last game they showed in 1986. Nolan had 1 hitter through the 10th and Davis walked off with a HR

[WBT 20432]

Let's go Carlos.

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Cmon, 1-1.  Raise that contract value.  

[David Dennison 18676]

And you want a ten year, $300 million contract.

Come on, man.

[elfenix 34190]

web gem to win the game, furk

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Furk 

[Mo Horn 8808]

Great pinch hitting there Tuck

[WBT 20432]

Damn, nothing wrong with a 6-2 homestand but it would have been nice to finish off at least one of the sweeps.

[David Dennison 18676]

Bright side is, great home stand.

Keep it going on the road.

[DaysOff 7854]

Condolences for anyone that paid money to watch that.

I’ve been wondering when the Surlies were going to turn on him. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Oh I didn't know the Astros played this afternoon. Guess they didn't know they were playing either 

[Honeysucklerose 960]

I’ve been wondering when the Surlies were going to turn on him. 

To be fair, I have disliked him for a while

Pitching was solid.  Nearly had the defensive play of the year which was the difference in the game.  Kikuchi was dealing.  It was a good game.

Jim Callis's Astros minor leagues report is out. 

Notable that Pedro Leon will be playing SS at Corpus and hitting leadoff. I think that means the team expects Correa to leave in free agency.

They offered him $37 dollars and a gift card to Gallery Furniture, I don't know what else they could have done.

If the potential glut of quality SS's on the market next year, and the position being the strongest it's been since the late 90s-00s, Correa is going to find himself in a difficult position unless he starts hitting.

Baez, Seager, Story, Simmons, and Crawford will all be FAs along with Correa.

He has a higher OPS than every one of those guys except Seager and he's younger than every other 2022 FA SS. I think the only difficult position he will ever find himself in starts with DANI and ends with ELLA.

Yordan is back in the lineup
