Yuli needs to swap with Peña and hit 7th. Too many wasted ABs with RISP. 

[WBT 20656]

So are we ever going to score off of Boobage or nah?

FIFY

[David Dennison 18945]

That was quite a mistake.

[Guest]

that was less than optimal...

 

ugggh.

I mean, if you're gonna leave a 1-2 pitch up for Salvador Perez . . . 

[Guest]

Luis knows better than that shit.

Got too cute with the runner... paid the price for losing focusness on Salvy

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Why throw a fastball there? Perez looked completely lost in that AB up to that point.

Can anyone explain Yuli in the 5 spot? 

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

Also a change up perplexing this lineup is strange. 

[David Dennison 18945]

One inning away from worst game of the season!

[runthebone 8030]

This offense is annoying as fuck. Yuli should be hitting 8.

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

Surely Yuli has something they can put him on the IL for. He’s like 50 in Cuban years. 

[elfenix 34331]

[elfenix 34331]

Very annoyed the score updates come over mlb app 30 seconds before the mlb app radio gets there.

[David Dennison 18945]

Ewwwwww.

 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Maybe this game will at least get us a change in the batting order. But I'm not holding my breath. 

[tx 3 putt 77354]

Hopefully we end the first 1/3 with a W tomorrow

Didn’t see the game. Saw that we were 5/27 (.185) on balls in play. Gonna assume it was just one of those days. 

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

So the Astros draft the Hispanic Titanic, right? I’m wishing it into existence.

What’s his current projection?

approximately?

Top 200. So, 4-6 rounds.

[Slacks 6862]

So, I'm way late to post on the Yordan contract.  From a team perspective, it's great. From a Yordan perspective it's good, but not great.  He'll be 31 when it's up and probably miss out on a $200MM+ contract. I'm guessing this contract costs him $80MM+ on the back end when $26MM is cheap.

A g'd $115 isn't going to make him sad or anything, so not a big deal...

[kevwun 15857]

That’s true, but he’s got knee problems at 24 and is a big dude.  Taking the money now is a safe and smart move for him.

Edited June 5, 2022 by kevwun

[TonyTexas 10524]

That risk is a 2-way street. Yordan might be leaving some money on the table but the Astros are guaranteeing a lot of money well before they have to. 

Edited June 5, 2022 by TonyTexas

[kevwun 15857]

Yeah it is a fair deal because both sides are giving something.  

[Scraps 13570]

6/5

[TonyTexas 10524]

Yuli still batting a spot too high but it’s a start. 

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

I don't get Dusty. Can he please put Chas, Brantley, and Yordan in the same lineup.

[Scraps 13570]

Well, it's a start. 

[HtownHorn 14763]

Dusty needs to get off the alternating RLRLR stupid shit. Stack the lineup with the best hitters getting the most ABs, the top 4 should always contain Pena, Altuve, Tucker, and Alvarez.

ill start worrying about batting order after 108 games 

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

Anybody got the Jake Meyers Sugarland numbers? I believe he started his rehab assignment this past Friday. 

[HtownHorn 14763]

Willie Calhoun was DFA'd and Miguel Andujar wants to be traded. I would take either, give them a 1B mitt and tell them the 1B job is yours next season.

0-4

 

Matijevic is the guy having a great year in AAA, much better than Leon or Lee. Hensley it right behind him

I’m in town helping with my Mom after her hip replacement surgery last week.  I have the opportunity to go to a game on Monday or Tuesday evening.  The choice was between the LMJ AL Championship ring or JV day.  I chose JV day.
