Enmanuel Valdez 2 run HR for Sugar Land! His 6th HR in Triple-A and 17th HR overall this season! #Astros

He's also played 6 games in the outfield this year. Last year he even played a couple games at shortstop.

[Texas St. Armadillos 1381]

That might have been the most fun I've had at an Astros game:

- My kids sang the National Anthem

- Breggy Bomb on his jersey giveaway night to get things going

- Yuli HR

- Uncle Mike Grand Slam

- Alvarez HR

- Tucker HR

- 10, yes 10, run inning!

- Didn't have to listen to AppleTV broadcast

 

Now about to go transfer $200 to my credit card so I don't have to deal with that in a month...

[UTexasFight 9551]

Here

For context that’s 6th home run in AAA in what/ about a week being called up there? 

[kevwun 15936]

We just decided to go to Round Rock tonight to watch them.  Hoping Brown is pitching, but they haven't announced the starter yet.

[Scraps 13584]

Keep it rollin

[tx 3 putt 77554]

Be sure to pack some snacks …

 

[YChang 3463]

Well that’s a creative way to save money these days. And they would make immigrant moms everywhere proud.

Hunter brown is pitching tonight.  Scouting report to follow if I’m sober enough to remember.

I need pitch by pitch analysis 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

I'm trying to figure out why we're playing a 1 game home series against the Yankees on June 30th. Generally that signifies a make-up game, but we haven't played the Yankees this season.

Check the original 2022 schedule…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

one of the makeups for the delayed start when we were supposed to play them the 2nd series of the season

the other 2 part of a DH after the all star break

The fuck JV?

[tx 3 putt 77554]

Astros volume off, US Open volume on 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

White Sox hitters are finding the gaps and hitting around the shift on JV today

[tx 3 putt 77554]

Finally, that inning is over 

[runthebone 8050]

So many hits.  Not putting guys away with 2 strikes.

[tx 3 putt 77554]

Ugh, Altuve 

[tx 3 putt 77554]

Stop the bleeding !!!!!!

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Not our day

[rvm96 1643]

I'll take one of those Astros 10 run innings now please

[tx 3 putt 77554]

Don’t call it a comeback !!!

[David Dennison 18951]

Welp, it happens. 

[tx 3 putt 77554]

Trade verlander to make room for brown !!!!

[tx 3 putt 77554]

[Wulaw Horn 19153]

Don’t need to worry about watching this game after TiVo-ing it to watch the US Open I guess. 

[UTexasFight 9551]

Either our pitchers are missing their spots on these shifts or the analytics dept needs to throw out the book on the white Sox.

don’t recall the last time to see this many shift beating grounders through the infield

7 of their 11 hits tonopposite field

Two hits after throwing up 13 runs.

This team is weird.

[kevwun 15936]

Brown struck out the side in the first.  1 walk and was sitting at 96-97.  Hit 98 once or twice.  He’s at 52.2 innings on the year before this game.  I would imagine he’s around half way to his innings limit.

[David Dennison 18951]

Please let Yordan be OK.

3/20 on balls in play. As you said, it happens. 

[kevwun 15936]

2 strikeouts and a fly out in the 2nd.  Hit 99 on his last pitch,

[kevwun 15936]

2 strikeouts and a line out in the 3rd.  7k’s so far.

[kevwun 15936]

Korey Lee hit a 3 run homer, he’s hitting .210 in the tradition of Astros catchers.  Brown had a ground out, walk, weak single and line out double play to get out of the inning.  His main issue is control.  He’s not hittable at this level when he throws strikes.

[WBT 20675]

Discomfort somewhere on his body imo

[kevwun 15936]

Brown ran out of steam in the 5th. Walk, single, then the 1basemen tried to beat the runner to the bag instead of throwing it.  He gave up a ground rule double with the bases loaded on a 3-2 count.  Then walked another batter and got pulled up 5-2.

[kevwun 15936]

Meyers has struck out 3 times tonight and reached on an error.

[UTexasFight 9551]

I should have stayed in austin on gone to round rock like kevwun instead of driving to Houston and watching that abomination of a game 

[kevwun 15936]

They ended up losing 8-5 and it was one of the hottest games I’ve ever been to.  Corpus is much nicer with the sea breeze.

[Scraps 13584]

That was my friend group outing game we do once a year....what a fucking disaster

we better hold up on releasing verlander

he needs to pick up the pace 

[runthebone 8050]

If Yordan is out for a while, we are going to score 2 runs a game for weeks.
