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

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

Fuck me

we need a dp 

[cabowabo 4,449]

What a great addition to the club Odorizzi has been.

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

[Hammerin Hank 1,223]

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

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

Great dp 

[billfromlaketravis 11,352]

Auto bunt there for Machete. 

[cabowabo 4,449]

Altuve is killing his trade value. 

[perfectchaos007 6,593]

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 14,446]

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

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

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

So far, he's not the problem tonight.

[Wulaw Horn 18,963]

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.

I stand corrected.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

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

[HtownHorn 14,446]

Good OF alignment on that triple.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

I hate Jake and this anemic offense

[Guadaloopy 10,903]

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

[Scraps 13,531]

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

[HtownHorn 14,446]

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 14,446]

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 1,695]

Lets just bunt the rest of the night.

[David Dennison 18,603]

Maybe learn how to hit against the shift.

[Scraps 13,531]

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

[David Dennison 18,603]

Are we bad?

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

We need Yordan in this lineup in a bad way.

[David Dennison 18,603]

That was brutal.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Good Lord

[HtownHorn 14,446]

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

[David Dennison 18,603]

Ouch.

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

I think we can end the Pedro Baez experiment:

 

[David Dennison 18,603]

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 291]

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

What a piss poor performance

[Planet Houston 4,922]

🤮

[Hank Chinaski 6,310]

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 4,922]

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
