Look at nice guy Altuve 

[maninblack 7974]

[Gourmand 7774]

Meyers has to go down and figure his shit out

This is funny. Everyone just moving up a base to avoid embarrassing them 

Little late for that. That was hard to watch.

Hopefully that throw from center and striking out against a position player will open their eyes about Jake

He's going to hear about that for a long time

One can hope. Dusty loves no bat, weak arm CF more than his grandkids.

Garcia would have too if he hadn’t gotten through the 5th.

imagine being the starter and not getting the win in a game your team wins 21-5.

[billfromlaketravis 11523]

Great win. 
 

Meyers striking out on 53 mph heat and Dubon hitting into a double play is the chef’s kiss. 

[Rimbo 26112]

Jesus.

Bregman alone scored enough RBIs to win the game.

Chas scored enough to tie it.

Those two accounted for eleven runs on their own.

That's not how the RBI stat works unless they hit only solo bombs 😉

As much as I despise Dubon, that was 100% on purpose

[Scraps 13577]

[txduck87 990]

Ok Vazquez can stay

Yeah. Wish we’d let him play.

[Mez2 4025]

Meyers should eat last at the post-game spread

I just laugh at you dipshits pimping Yuli's near .250 average. The guy is hot garbage now. His last hot streak ended with a 7-game stretch of sub .400 OPS offensive play. I mean I guess he should get credit for not being a complete waste on a day when everyone else on the team, except 2 of the other 3 position players on the team that he's in contention with for worst player, had banner days at the plate.

It's nice to see our heroes left the Windy City afire and all non-momentumal. I had to work this afternoon, but I did giggle when I saw the score.

LFG!!!

[Limp Brisket 546]

Beat the shit sox 21-5 but found something to bitch about lol

Ill continue to cheer for him to get to .260 next

if Diaz is out long term, yuli is the back up 3rd baseman

Wow, most runs we've scored since a 21-1 schlonging of the M's back in September 2019.

To quote McTaggert: I was there. And I was there a couple of days later when we lit up Fiers and Yordan hit one to what is now the Michelob Ultra section. 

[HtownHorn 14779]

The Braves win and the Astros have the 2nd best record in baseball. George is 4-4 as the Jays are up 9-2 on the Yankees.

[tx 3 putt 77428]

springer is going to go on a hell of tear if they make the playoffs. his avg jumped 11 points today. 5-5 

 

this yankees 'dip' is unbelievable. shitty clubhouse / manager ?

They were winning a whole bunch of those early games by something that is unsustainable....coming from behind a lot....which means you are down in games a lot.

The down in games a lot trend has stayed consistent the whole year....the come from behind wins can't keep up


And their manager is a dumbass

And so is their GM

[tx ind 7013]

And their fans

[DaysOff 7974]

Fuck I miss George. Also fuck the Yankees.

[Gourmand 7774]

Blowing those first two games at CWS cost the Astros a nice 5.5 gm lead on NYY. But a 3.5 gm lead at this point is a pleasant surprise considering the Yankees torrid start.

[UTexasFight 9528]

So 2017 WS MVP and 2018 ASG MVP combined 9 for 11, 6 runs, 7 RBIs, 3 2Bs, 2 HRs today 

 

 

[HtownHorn 14779]

Perfect day for the Astros

• Score 21 runs.
• Dodgers lose
• Mets lose
• Yankees lose

Another 5 hit game for George.  It's amazing that Altuve has all those 4 hit games but has never had one with 5.

Homer heavy/streaky team. If they’re not hitting it out, they’re not winning.
 

You could say that for most of the MLB, but it’s especially pronounced with their lineup.

That would be Dubon.

I think the bigger problem is that their pitching has come back to Earth. They only have Cole that would scare anyone in the playoffs, and no one in their bullpen is a legit stopper. Also not surprised at all that Gallo has outperformed Benintendi since the deadline.

They are missing Stanton and Carpenter right now, only 5 guys with an OPS+ over a 100 right now, by comparison the Astros could form a lineup with 8 or 9 guys with OPS+ over 100.

stolen from espn ...

Through June 19, Bregman was hitting .218/.337/.373 with seven homers and 30 RBIs in 64 games. Since then, Bregman has mashed to the tune of .315/.404/.556 with nine homers and 36 RBIs in 49 games.

We've had a 3-7 and a 3-6. Of course, both of those were before the middle of June.
