So- Javier is really good against everyone but the Mariners and Nationals- is that right? 

[David Dennison 19119]

Nice play.

Jerk.

[Mo Horn 8899]

Ate you fucking kidding me. I thought Yordan crushed that, but he got robbed at the wall

He hasn't pitched that great tonight. Been able to work out of some jams, but not overpowering.

I’m watching it through game updates in my rv. 

[Scraps 13598]

Friday night another stupid apple tv game?

Edit- fuck it is

[Mo Horn 8899]

Fuck Stanek. Way to blow this game

[Scraps 13598]

Last i checked 3 is still greater than 2

[Mo Horn 8899]

Got out of it with a 1 run lead

Fair point. He's been good, but got behind the hitter.

Look at you showing off your higher level math skills. 

[rvm96 1643]

Yordan with the 3 hardest hit baseballs in this game

[Mo Horn 8899]

JFC. So much for the lead

[Honeysucklerose 996]

This offense has to get going. Doesn’t it???

[David Dennison 19119]

Dumpster fire.

[Honeysucklerose 996]

What the heck is happening here?

[HtownHorn 14921]

over managing.

 

The only reason Maldonado plays is his defense and he's been shit tonight. Just a fucking joke to keep losing games when you can go get replacements.

Neris has lost his touch since the suspension.

Maldy moving further into the Liability column.

[perfectchaos007 6714]

Can't count on our bullpen to hold a marginal lead.

[David Dennison 19119]

Relax. Maton is warming up. 

[Guadaloopy 11039]

Buncha slapdick seeing  eye bullshit for them tonight.  

[HtownHorn 14921]

It's funny that other teams take singles against our shifts, but our guys just fucking pull the ball into them.

He hadn't given up a hit since his suspension until tonight so your theory is BS

Edited June 14, 2022 by rvm96

[Honeysucklerose 996]

Oh GOD. we’ve given up. It’s Maton

[64coldasfire 23]

Mistake on my end. I just remembered the Seattle game where he gave up 2 runs.

[runthebone 8133]

This shitty game has felt like a loss all night.

[wood 11580]

Yordong with a helluva throw there...

[David Dennison 19119]

We are playing bad baseball.

[DaysOff 8004]

Because we are bad

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Guriel was batting champ last year , so wtf happened? Why does he have alternating good/bad years? 

[David Dennison 19119]

I don't think we're bad, but we're not all that good. We're kinda meh and in a really shitty division.

[David Dennison 19119]

He's old.

[Muny_Tex 298]

Seems like the competitive fire has dwindled (a lot) since the Angels imploded.

[patrickdrinksbeer 796]

what a complete shit show of a game. really pathetic effort tonight.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Astros need to lobby for a second DH in the lineup.

Yeah, but in sports, 37 can be a whole lot different than 36 in a flash.

[tx 3 putt 77927]

Derp 

[tx 3 putt 77927]

Dropped 4 of our last 5

Because he's old as fuck. This was going to happen. He's likely done as a fulltime player, but the Astros apparently care more about losing games to shitty teams to placate players than going out and upgrading the roster.

They smacked the baseball A LOT. Also the diving attempts by Dubon and Pena shoes they werent being lazy on defense. So I would disagree with that.

Is 'Pena shoes' an official nickname yet?  Seems too early.

0-10 from the same players that haven't been hitting in over a month, and when Dusty strategically places throughout the lineup so pitchers can get breaks you end up wasting a lot of rallies.

[DaysOff 8004]

Division will ultimately be a dogfight. This team has been a house of cards for months.

Not a chance. We win the division easily. 
LMJ is coming back (not that the pitching has been a problem) 

Meyers is coming back. 
They have to add a bat at 1B and would be smart to add one in LF/DH (or just make it Chaz) as a platoon partner for Bradley. Do that and you’ve got 2 bad spot in the lineup for the playoffs, it’s Maldy, and you have a good PH in either Chaz against a lefty or Brantley against a RHP. 
we are fine. It’s just baseball (he says- hoping fervently).

I hope you're right about Lance.

[Muny_Tex 298]

If you’re spotted an 8 game lead in mid-June within a terribly inferior division, when is there ever going to be a better time/opportunity to see what Yordan is capable of doing at 1B?

The contract ink is dry…it’s time to capitalize while there’s still time ample time to prepare for a playoff run.

Yuli is still a helluva asset for late inning defense and pinch hitting in RBI situations where a fly ball is needed…but something has to give before he (and Bregman) torpedo yet another postseason.
