Get a fucking roof goddamnit

[HOOKEM4 5176]

The McKKKenzie jersey the fans were wearing is a bit confusing.

I don’t understand why Diaz isn’t leading off. I thought when you played for a regular you had to hit in their spot?

Dubon hitting 7th and that’s actually the appropriate spot for him probably. Woof. 
it’s Sunday before an off day where we lead the division by 12 games. Perfectly appropriate lineup, no complaints. 
I bet we win. 

Looks like I’m going to lose this bet and this lineup is as bad as it looked on paper. We’ve won a lot of games this year with suboptimal lineups.

Not a surprise but Brantley sounds done for 2022.

click after ford asked him if he thinks he’ll back this year?

”umm. We hope so. But with each passing day, it looks more challenging.”

If we can’t keep playing can we just head directly to the airport and forfeit and get home early for our off day? 

[cabowabo 4691]

If I have to see this fatass shave off his eyebrow one more time this beer bottle is going through my TV.

Yordan can't buy a break today 

[tx 3 putt 78682]

We need runs

He’s gone from god to dog in recent games. Last 8 games before today (0/3) he’s slashing .172/.286/.207

[Gourmand 7778]

Yordan's last homer was July 29th.

 

[cabowabo 4691]

God damnit Stanek.

Way too many balls 

[Gourmand 7778]

not our day

[David Dennison 19542]

At least these games are fast.

[Ojo Rojo 2054]

GIDP to end an inning has got to be my least favorite play in baseball when it happens to my team.

[Gourmand 7778]

that Altuve gidp was megashitty

[HOOKEM4 5176]

How am I so far ahead? It is the 9th.

I am a time traveler I guess.

[Gourmand 7778]

and now we get to face Clase

[WBT 20979]

Francona deserves to lose for pulling McKenzie 

[David Dennison 19542]

Does Vazquez have a hit yet?

Yeah but today was just unlucky. Before today it had been strikeouts and groundouts, or at least if felt like that

[David Dennison 19542]

Yuck.

[Gourmand 7778]

terrible couple of games

[Scraps 13800]

Shitty games are shitty

[David Dennison 19542]

It's August, brah!

[HOOKEM4 5176]

Damn. Go rest and let's restart this shit.

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Much needed off day tomorrow

[tx 3 putt 78682]

Anyone going to Sugarland tonight ?

[rvm96 1643]

On the bright side Montas is getting rocked by St. Louis

Everytime he slumps I'm going to wonder if his hand is bothering him like before the all-star break.

[TexArcher 39072]

Two god damned hits?  That's all we got?

[billfromlaketravis 11823]

The team is definitely in a funk. The lineup wasn't the best today, but the entire team isn't hitting.

CF needs to get addressed. They can't keep running Meyers out there with no bat and a messed up arm. 

[tx 3 putt 78682]

CF is going to be Mayer and chas, they need to get shit done. 
 

it’s the dog days of August, we split a series. Need to win the next two at home. Get through this.

[TexArcher 39072]

Yeah, none of that is good.  Shit.

[Hank Chinaski 6361]

Anything we get from LM this year is bonus; he shouldn’t be counted on for anything.

[tx 3 putt 78682]

Hmm, 1 mph down from his avg isn’t horrible 

[Guadaloopy 11130]

Yeah, not panicking about LMJ yet.

[Wulaw Horn 19595]

This would be about the time in spring training when pitchers get a little bit of a dead arm, wouldn’t it?  

[tx 3 putt 78682]

He says he’s ready. He can stay at AAA for 13 more days ….

Major league pitchers are afforded a 30-day maximum on a minor league rehab assignment. McCullers’ first four starts have spanned 17 days, meaning there is room on his calendar for at least one more. Asked whether he expected to make another, McCullers made his stance clear.

“I don’t know. I don’t want to,” McCullers said after he departed the game. “Everyone has been great to me. I can’t say enough about the Sugar Land Space Cowboys. We have great guys in our Triple-A organization, and the coaching staff is amazing. But I feel like I’m healthy, and I want to get back and pitch with the Astros.”

Off says are generally the worst. I think this team needed one today though.

Get Tucker a whole case of immodium, assuming that he had the runs or food poisoning or whatever.

[kevwun 16438]

One of my friends in high school took immodium before every basketball game because he was paranoid about needing to take crap at some point during the game.

After those last two games, any kind of runs would be welcome. 

[tx 3 putt 78682]

Hook him up to an Iv and give him one or two more days off.
