Didn’t matter. Runner was crossing the plate when Maldo caught it. 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Fuck me

we need a dp 

[cabowabo 4484]

What a great addition to the club Odorizzi has been.

he needs a harder and longer pregame warm up / bull pen 

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Damn, umpire slow rolled him. Wasn’t even a strike either 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Great dp 

[billfromlaketravis 11481]

Auto bunt there for Machete. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Altuve is killing his trade value. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Our offense is in a rut. Would be nice to get this guy back who is on the covid list but doesn't have covid
 

[HtownHorn 14682]

Just unbelievable how many 1st and 2nd with no outs, where Maldonado bats and the Astros don't score.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

he'll be in the running for worst batting avg ever in a season

So far, he's not the problem tonight.

[Wulaw Horn 19070]

It’s sub optimal that the Astros have to hit with a guy that’s worse offensively than many a pitcher, yet here we are. 
I would love to see the defensive numbers they have that tell them he’s still a plus player overall. They must be spectacular.

He is now.

I stand corrected.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I fucking hate Jake Odorizzi. I can't wait for the last time he pitches for the Astros.

[HtownHorn 14682]

Good OF alignment on that triple.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

I hate Jake and this anemic offense

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Someone tell Dusty that he doesn’t need to leave Odorizzi in for five full innings to qualify for the loss.  

[Scraps 13561]

Maybe we should try to hit more like men and not like little bitches

[HtownHorn 14682]

At what point does Maldonado change the approach? They aren't missing the high FB, yet he keeps calling it. Maldonado's only role on this team is to call pitches, and he's doing a horrible job tonight.

[HtownHorn 14682]

Routine double play ball turned into a hit. Can't wait for MLB to ban the shift.

This is the worst possible argument against the shift.

Tucker will also be a .320 hitter.

Much better.  

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

Lets just bunt the rest of the night.

[David Dennison 18860]

Maybe learn how to hit against the shift.

[Scraps 13561]

We may not score 5 runs all weekend....not sure how they are supposed to do it in 4 innings

[David Dennison 18860]

Are we bad?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

We need Yordan in this lineup in a bad way.

[David Dennison 18860]

That was brutal.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Good Lord

[HtownHorn 14682]

You have 23 pitchers, why is Abreu pitching more than inning?

[David Dennison 18860]

Ouch.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I think we can end the Pedro Baez experiment:

 

[David Dennison 18860]

What an all around awful day of baseball.

3 fucking walks

I hope we never do this strobe light homer shit. CWS do it too. I am not epileptic, but not a fan

Maybe we can go ahead and fire Alex Cintron also

[Muny_Tex 293]

Tough evening for the ROI associated with $36M in total guarantees for Baez and Odo

What a piss poor performance

[Planet Houston 4930]

🤮

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

team batting for the season:

.211/.281/.371, good for a 89 wRC+

The good news is that they aren’t striking out any more than the last several seasons (18%). And the .224 BABIP is second-lowest in MLB. So, probably some bad luck. Per Statcast, their expected AVG/SLG is .254/.480.

 

[Planet Houston 4930]

Is anyone a pro at going to games at Constellation Field for the Space Cowboys/Skeeters? We have family in town and want to catch tonight’s game - 8 guys from the grandparents to the three kids in tow ages 6-9. What is our best bet? Just normal seats and roam the various things to do? Or GA in the grass in the outfield? Or the H-E-B Plaza (kinda pricey)?

Haven’t caught a game out there so appreciate any advice on the best way to experience it with young kids and olds. 

Edit: Probably answered my own question re: GA, not great for the olds
