Looks good on us, like a well-worn leather jacket we'd misplaced for a bit.

Who’s up to the challenge?

 

[DaysOff 7853]

 

With George gone Yuli might be my new favorite ASTRO.

you gotta admire a guy who still thinks he's the "good guy" in this story.

what a fucking clown.

[DaysOff 7853]

Fun watching him get knocked out of a game 30 minutes ago.

[runthebone 7932]

Joe Kelly, professional cunt and 2018 Red Sox member/defender of baseball integrity?  Fuck that bitch.

As a fan, I'd take those odds.  Kelly can't hit the zone for shit right now...

[ChickenSandwich 9798]

Has the Houston Chronicle online just stopped covering Houston sports?

Front page of sports section online doesn’t even mention lasts nights game. They do say we swept the Rangers. 

[Mez2 4021]

You gotta go to HoustonChronicle.com, not chron.com. whatever is in the paper is posted there, chron is for people like 3putt

Well thankfully I was at work yesterday or I would have probably had an aneursym seeing this live:

Ugh, he doesn't have any baseball instincts.  It's like he started playing the game last week when he's in the field.

 

When are July and August tickets going to go on sale?

[TexArcher 37519]

Holy shit, Uncle Mike almost bitch slapped him.

[kevwun 15653]

Because he knows he has a limited range.  With a competent CF, any ball the CF can get to in left he should take.

The shot of Garcia in the dugout watching the play was priceless.” After all that hard work, and you go and do that bullshit…”

[runthebone 7932]

You want him to put up a .586 OPS and play good defense?  You're just being greedy.

[runthebone 7932]

Is Yordan really 23, or is he Cuban 23?. Because that is pretty ridiculous, but Vlad Jr is only 22!

Even mez can make that catch 

[kevwun 15653]

The age deal isn't really a thing anymore for young foreign players.  The US Govt cracked down it.  I think he's like Lebron in that he's looked 35 since he hit puberty.

[Huckleberry 32703]

Yeah Straw is just embarrassing out there. Still way too many baseball people who think "guy fast, guy play centerfield." One of the reasons Richard Hidalgo was such an underrated player in his mid 20s. He had tremendous range in CF because his instincts were damn near perfect. But he wasn't that fast and looked even slower than he actually was with his running style so people assumed he wasn't good.

Yeah, but is it really fair to expect a Major League centerfielder to have the awareness and understanding of a 14-year-old Pony Leaguer?

[jkates 316]

It's really a shame that the Astros can't hit now that their trash cans are gone.

[UTexasFight 9380]

Houston Methodist, leading medicine...and MLB batting stats.

Obviously something in our vaccines that isn’t in others

[TonyTexas 10482]

If thinking about this, I’d check to see if @Gourmand or @UTexasFight have plans to go.  If so, pass

Or yall can just man up and drive to the big boy game in Arlington

He's talking about the Dodgers.

My man also had a howitzer attached to his right shoulder

[tx 3 putt 76393]

Straws noodle arm is embarrassing 

[Scraps 13542]

Rangers behind the plate seats are so fucking awkward to me

[Scraps 13542]

Jesus christ if they are gonna give this dude that pitch to Brantley he might as well just get tossed

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Let’s not read too much into it when Ivey throws a no-no tonight.

[UTexasFight 9380]

Doug Eddings is who we’re cursing tonight

The seats? Or the people in them?

Ginger starting pitcher. Definitely doomed.
