Also his salsa sucks.

 

I saw bregman in a round rock express game over the summer…he needs to go back.  IF injury is still bothering him then be a pro and play thru if possible - athletes do it all the time.  If it holds you back then tell the team so you don’t hold them back.  
 

But get out of the 3 spot. Now is not the time to leave a star at 3 spot to not hurt his ego and in hopes that he turns it around soon.  We are running out of time, mix up the lineup.

There are plenty of candidates to move down in the lineup but, unfortunately, not very many to move up.

This is a snap shot of being a Astro fan.

 

astros up 3-1 and I’m waiting for the meltdown and us to choke.

astros down 3-1 and I know it’s over and we have no shot.

Being a Houston fan is full a heart break so I need a 3 game shocking comeback starting tonight. I think we’ve earned it.

Just fucking hit the ball tonight. We had a ton of opportunities last night and couldn’t pull the trigger

Well I guess it’s an upgrade. Correa has twice as many WS hits as Bregs. Unfortunately that number is 2.

At least he doesn't pop up in the infield in half his at bats.

[TexArcher 38062]

That's right, Bregs.  We have less faith in your bat than everybody else's except the catcher and the pitcher.  Please take it personally.

That's pretty ugly. Of course, average somewhat masks Altuve's overall effort at the plate. Last night he was centimeters from two key doubles to go with his two HRs in the series. I think he, Brantley and Tucker lead a spirited charge again tonight...but this time, someone needs to join them.

bregman is the type of guy who gets pissed and does something.  i'm not expecting him to mope.

He picked #2 for a reason.  Mainly how he bats.

[tx 3 putt 77413]

Bregman’s has lived his entire life for games like tonight

I personally guarantee a victory tonight 

[Fudge Nuggets 19221]

Man I wish I had y'alls confidence.  It would be one thing if we were putting up some runs but a couple of balls bounce one way for them and another way for us and we lost these two games but it's like they completely forgot how to hit a baseball.  Teams don't typically break out of that kind of shit overnight but I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

I’m agnostic. 3 pennants, 1 World Series championship in 5 years is a significant achievement. 2 World Series championships would be awesome, but I’m not going to get emotionally invested. 
 

Pennants should be a much bigger deal. They were in the past before teams had to win 2 postseason series to win one. 

[runthebone 8038]

Maybe we should try something different.  Sending almost every runner on first base, for instance.

I know it’s cliché, but I really am just happy to watch my favorite team play my favorite sport in a meaningful game one more time this season.  
 

Our leadoff man, who is Altuve

Relentless be thy game 

Let doubles come

And drive in runs

In Atlanta as it is in Houston

Give us this day our daily hits

Forgive us our errors 

As we take advantage of errors committed in our favor

Lead us not into double plays

But deliver us from nasty sliders

For the pennant, the MVP and the World Series title

Are yours now and forever

Amen
