not having an OF to replace springer was a hole in the system. straw and chaz are slowly stepping up, but not sure if either is an everyday player.

replacing correa next year at SS will be a huge test to the farm system 

 

but the young arms we're producing is damn impressive 

The only reason we will have to replace Correa next year is click is a dick.

so JV steps up as the shut down closer for sept and the playoffs. that's how im reading this whole thing ??

on the one hand: Oh man!!!!

on the other: JV and a one run lead in the 9th and his propensity for solo HRs….but maybe TJ surgery fixes that kind of thing.

There are enough FA SS's on the market next year that I think the Astros sign one.

Correa, Simmons, Baez, Crawford, Semien, Story, Seager, Rojas, Chris Taylor. Not too mention the Astros could likely play Diaz there for a seasonal stop gap giving their own internal candidates a year more in the minors.

Just gut the Rockies even more until they are worse than those 100-loss Astros teams?

Why couldn't we move Bregman to SS and start Diaz at 3rd?

bregman is a avg ss at best (imo) and diaz gets hurt all the time

Dammit.  Road tripping this weekend and Ford has the weekend off.  Esch filling in.  

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

5 hits allowed by Garcia in 2 innings. We may be forced to use the bullpen early

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

can someone break up this no hitter please!?

Is sparks back?

shane Reynolds filled in for him the last series and also covered one a few weeks ago

 

their union dues are clearly paying for something 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Let’s take the opposite approach at the plate the rest of the game.

Sparks is there. Esch is just bad.  

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Time to help Garcia out

[Scraps 13,540]

Finally a hit.

Now take the lead

[Scraps 13,540]

Plz walk machete plz walk machete
Plz walk machete plz walk machete

[tx 3 putt 76,314]

Straw was a statue with two strikes, wtf 

[Scraps 13,540]

Thank god

[elfenix 34,171]

Machete!

I’ll take it 

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

HUGE walk!

[runthebone 7,932]

It's our grand slam guy now.

[Smax 3,800]

Love it he walked in the tie

[Johnny Sack 8,397]

Let’s get another walk

[tx 3 putt 76,314]

Damn 

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Rodon won that battle but at least we have a new ballgame now

[Scraps 13,540]

Lmao pegged that fool in the face

[tx 3 putt 76,314]

Dickie Thon flashbacks 

[tx 3 putt 76,314]

Garcia !!!!

[tx 3 putt 76,314]

Uncle Mike needs a rest day v Rodon

[Scraps 13,540]

In a perfect world Garcia would make the All Star team this year

[runthebone 7,932]

Garcia nutted it up big-time.

[Scraps 13,540]

Someone has to run into one

[Scraps 13,540]

Lets go BDC

[Scraps 13,540]

Slider made him look stupid

[Johnny Sack 8,397]

This is a heck of a game.  Love seeing this type of pitching.

[Scraps 13,540]

Anyone want to bet Rodon has a different hat his next start....which is after 6/21.

Will be easy to tell cause of the sweat line

[Gourmand 7,774]

fucking Yankees. fucking As.

 

[Scraps 13,540]

This is a heck of a game.  Love seeing this type of pitching.

We may get it the next two games too. Lynn and Framber both have ERA under 2.00....then LMJ and Keuchel will probably both be dealing

[Scraps 13,540]

fucking Yankees. fucking As.
 

Kemping ain't easy.

He bit us in the ass tonight

[Gourmand 7,774]

I missed that part but I did see the LeMahieu 2-run HR to tie the game and the pee-pee hurt Yankee fans broke out into a Fuck Altuve chant immediately afterward when Judge stepped in the batters box. Rent-free.

[Gourmand 7,774]

cmon Stanek

[Scraps 13,540]

Grandal is mentally retarded

[Gourmand 7,774]

stfu Grandal

[dr99 551]

White Sox announcers are talking trash on Stanek for touching the back of his hat before every pitch and his hair is sticking to the back of his hat.

[Gourmand 7,774]

those hoes picked a helluva time to stand up and show dat ass

[Scraps 13,540]

Hippie Devo with the nice inning

[Scraps 13,540]

White Sox announcers are talking trash on Stanek for touching the back of his hat before every pitch and his hair is sticking to the back of his hat.

Lol this was the reasoning for my comment about Rodon. He went to his hat after pretty much every pitch. Then when pitching coach came out he went to it and then kind of tacked his fingers together.

[Scraps 13,540]

I mean even this jackhole is going to his bill numerous times

[Scraps 13,540]

Well the 2 homer streak ends, but walk off wins are always fun

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

That was a nasty inning from Pressly.
