Well duh

[Scraps 13745]

Homerun Leslie

[TexArcher 38816]

Hahaha, eat shit, Arlington.

[Limp Brisket 549]

I love some Yuli, but from batting title last season to his production this season….it’s rough.

[WBT 20884]

Let's not jinx away the quality start streak Kalas

[David Dennison 19441]

Nice defense, fellas.

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Dinking around with a AA squad. Beat these clowns

[Texas St. Armadillos 1388]

Nobody behind the plate even watching the game.

[Gourmand 7778]

Angel Hernandez tugging his crotch at Altuve wtf

I’m not watching the game but assuming you’re referring to Angel 

[Scraps 13745]

Angel is awesome. Brings the lulz

[TexArcher 38816]

About time to put this game to bed, fellas.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Lulz. Thanks Angel

[Scraps 13745]

Lmao nice ball 4 Angel

Free run!

[Lat22 4070]

He is so bad. And unfireable I would imagine. 

[TexArcher 38816]

I mean, we'll take the cheap run, obv, but it's beyond annoying that this incompetent prick still has a job.

[tx 3 putt 78470]

weak sauce man 

[David Dennison 19441]

Run aside, that was brutal.

[rvm96 1643]

I did not enjoy those last two at bats

[runthebone 8322]

These new guys suck!

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

I did not enjoy those last two at bats

For the best AL record, we aren’t in very good shape heading into the playoffs offensively.

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Valdez is straight money these days.

The only time he really seems to get in real trouble is when his curveball gets too nasty and starts hitting people

[Scraps 13745]

Framber for HOF

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Valdez better be on the roster next year.   Learn me.

[UTexasFight 9788]

Uh Neris on for the 9th…

googling that field level luxury area behind the plate -- $300k for a season? what is it, corporate suite on a game by game basis?

Also, was checking out the hot Asian babe back there.

better him than Maton

[Gourmand 7778]

STROS WIN!

[elfenix 34658]

astros win!

[LebongJames 1900]

My Framber, Cy Young prediction before the year is starting to look pretty damn good.

[Storm the Field 5360]

83-47. Back to our high-water mark of 36 over .500. On pace for a 103-59 finish. 

Guys, I'm starting to think we might make the playoffs!

Magic number 22

a couple folks on twitter suggested that we wore our batting practice uni's tonight because it's the 5 year anniversary of when we had to wear them vs the rangers...in tampa.  any truth to this?

Man I hope not.

but do wonder how often we wear those on the road.

we wore the hat with the orange brim 5 years ago so if those has made an appearance tonight, you can guarantee that’s what they were doing

unpopular opinion, but whatever.....we're the #1 team in the AL - ANYONE in our bullpen should be able to handle the 9th with a 2 run lead

 

[WBT 20884]

Great game by Framber.  With Vazquez catching I was worried he might start throwing pitches into the stands.

True. Of course, "should" and "would" aren't exactly synonyms.

I'd feel good about everyone but Maton and Smith.

The Verlander news combined with finding out my wife was pregnant with our first child the next morning is 12 hours that will likely never be topped in my lifetime.

Not disagreeing with you at all, but lol at the thought of Dusty Baker, of all people, solely judging people on postseason success.

That's not what I meant.  I meant that it will require meaningful, i.e. playoff, games for Dusty to put our best lineup on the field every night.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

[TonyTexas 10683]

Not playing Yordan today is the right move. Assuming he plays Friday, that’s 6 days of rest while only missing 3 games. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Welp:
