Urquidy needs to blast someone. Zero fucks if that was accidental. Lets fight.

It wasn’t.

[cabowabo 4484]

Man, fuck this team right now.

[Scraps 13561]

Lol these two games are laughable

[David Dennison 18860]

God.

Dammit.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

This defense is awesome

[Scraps 13561]

Nice K at least

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Apparently we’re in one of those stretches where they just play like shit. Reminiscent of getting their asses kicked by the Tigers and Orioles last year. 

[runthebone 7982]

CF collectively sucks

[cabowabo 4484]

This is embarrassing.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

What did Urquidy do to the guys??? They have to be doing this on purpose

[runthebone 7982]

We need Odor!

 

(Can't believe I'm saying this)

[clapclapclap 9000]

Maybe they haven't gotten any sleep?

Come on, Odorizzi on one leg may be better than Urquidy.

[dr99 560]

The Astros seem to roll over if a team gets any sort of lead on them this season

Maybe Verlander stressed a 5 man rotation only.

[cabowabo 4484]

Game over.

We have gotten better than JAG production from CF the last year and a half. 
If we have Jake Meyers batting 8th and putting up 3 or 4 WAR that’s almost the definition of 1st world “problems”. 

You keep saying that like it's a sure thing, when it's not. Meyers got almost half his WAR from defense. Stop fucking around and bring up Leon.

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Meyers had a 111 wRC+ in MLB last year. Leon has a 116 wRC+ in AAA right now. I’d give Meyers a look first. I agree that he’s no sure thing, but neither is Leon, who is still striking out at an alarming rate in the minors. 

[WBT 20572]

Something wrong with Tucker?  6-0 in the 6th seems a little early to be subbing because you've given up on the game.

making him run stands ?

[UTexasFight 9450]

Sparks listing top 5 slugging % against M’s with minimum of 100 ABs:

Carlos Delgado
ken singleton

manny Ramirez 

trout

Aledmys

Damn, Carlos Delgado hit 473 HR. I’d have guessed he was around 400 without looking it up. I know he was a one-dimensional player in a heavy offense era, but that’s strong. .280/.383/.546 career line. 

[UTexasFight 9450]

Mariners haven’t won 2 in a row since April 26. Astros haven’t lost 2 in a row this month. So, of course.

I hope like hell we turn this losing streak around today

Haha

exactly what I thought when I heard sparks mention that name 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Garcia is better than his 3-3 record 

[TonyTexas 10514]

Let’s avoid the sweep 

 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Please avoid the sweep 

[YChang 3446]

How about a nice easy win with a  10 run explosion today? 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Pulling him last night and not in the line up today was a huge red flag 

#rip 

[TonyTexas 10514]

He has a broken swing

And a bad foot

Wonder if that’s being caused by underlying health? 

[TonyTexas 10514]

In Astro injuryspeak, amputation is imminent 

Quote

Tuck’s not in there. Dusty Baker said he’s doing “fair”. They’re waiting on MRI results. He left last night’s game with left foot discomfort.

 

[runthebone 7982]

Well, the offensive output from the OF is almost the same no matter who is out there.  Depth!

Astros haven't scored more than 7 since the HR party against Eovaldi. They are averaging barely over 2 runs per game since. Maybe scoring 3 would be a better starting point, but I just don't see it with Bregman and Gurriel killing the top 5 and now an injury to Tucker.

[runthebone 7982]

Garcia got the memo that we need a shutout to have a chance to win in the 13th.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Peña !!!

[runthebone 7982]

Hey, we got a run!  Fucking Yuli.

[billfromlaketravis 11481]

That’s a bad man right there. 

[HtownHorn 14682]

The bench has contributed next to nothing this season. 319 ABs and a triple slash of .182/.239/.285/.524, which is one of reasons the starters shouldn't be getting as much time off as Dusty gives them.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

With the shortened spring training, how do you get everyone their spring training at bats to get going ?

Except the starters getting as much time off as Dusty gives them, aren’t they the bench and the problem too?

 

 

 

 

[runthebone 7982]

Have a feeling we are going to go nuts and double the lead this inning.

[runthebone 7982]

Feels like it's been a long time since someone came through with a fucking base hit when it was needed.
