You know we had runner on 3rd with 1 out last inning too, right?

You know we just won, right?

Playing fuck-fuck and getting cute with all of the walks bit em in the ass.

 

Good guys win.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

[HtownHorn 15243]

That's why you always try to get the guy to 3rd.

[wood 11747]

Run Forrest. Run!

[HtownHorn 15243]

He was safe even with kick ball rules.

Julia, you can take off the god damn mask.

With Framber scheduled to throw a bullpen session today at Minute Maid, what is the timeline for a rehab outing? The Skeeters are at Round Rock through Tuesday, I would be pumped if he was on the mound for one of those games.

 If the  bullpen outing goes well, Framber will head out on a minor league rehab assignment next week.  Valdez should need at least two or three rehab starts to build up to a starter's workload, so his return to the Astros could still be about a month away.

Planning to be at Dell Sunday.

I too would be pumped if “one of those games” = Sunday

Jose Siri had a monster game last night. Heckled by a dipshit doing a "Hey Siri" routine and then immediately responded with this.....

 

[texashorne 1185]

Siri' stat line is impressive, albeit only 32 AB's.. Why so few?

They've only played 7 games so far and he sat for one game. I expected to see Ronnie Dawson but he wasn't in the lineup last night. 

[Starfleet Command 441]

It's unfortunate that McCormick is on the 40 man but not either Siri or Meyers.  It doesn't look like McCormick will be a viable alternative to Straw should he continue to to hover around 40% below league average as a hitter.  It's looking more and more likely that the Astros will need to trade for a CF at the deadline.

[runthebone 8322]

A WP-off is not as good as a balk off, but against the Rangers, it is close.

It's really striking imo that the organization only has five outfielders on the 40 man, all of them are on the 25 man, and one of them will basically never play a defensive position. I'm not sure how Jairo Solis profiles as a prospect but he is out for a long time with elbow surgery. It makes sense to make room for a Siri or Dawson by removing Solis.

I wonder what it would take to get the Blue Jay's CF.

Good news, was worried that the silence on Urquidy was a bad sign.

[UTPhil2006 3909]

Me and @tx 3 putt are going to the game so if my fantasy team goes off, Fire drill, no Hitter, trade.. all on him

You’re in luck!

 

[WBT 20884]

What's with SEC cap day?

[WBT 20884]

If you guys thought you liked Straw batting leadoff, you're going to love Robel Garcia batting leadoff

[The Dog 44773]

You’re in luck!
 

Got our tickets for the Frambering.

[TexArcher 38816]

The Rangers are a bunch of turds.

[WBT 20884]

[TexArcher 38816]

Well, look at this crooked number brewing.  Thanks for the walks, Jerky.

[WBT 20884]

y'all keep talking shit about Straw

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Y’all keep talking shit about straw !!!

[clapclapclap 9000]

Rangers should be honest and tell Benjamin his future is plastics.

[clapclapclap 9000]

And while it is a nice gesture, those camo hats look terrible.

[TonyTexas 10683]

As I’ve said before, I love watching Greinke pitch. He always does something interesting. 

 

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Tucker is heating up 

[TexArcher 38816]

Get right, Kyle Tucker!

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Just tuned in. Seems like a solid night to build that run differential

[WBT 20884]

Yang out there giving universal basic free passes
