Go to Cobos and tell me if it's actually good. Astros twitter seems to love it.

lot around there, you could watch an inning at a different bar

Pluckers on shepard is having a watch party, with Michael Bourn from 1 to 2

Not all necessarily open at 1 on a Thursday.  If Truckyard wasn't open at 2 on Opening Day I doubt they are today.  Prob same with Woodrows (til 3).  Cobos in Eado or Pluckers as mentioned above are prob your best bets.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Much better than I initially feared when he went down.

Truckyard opens at like noon on Thursday.  The problem with opening day it was a Monday.

That happens when there is only one baserunner through four innings.  

[UTexasFight 9,790]

Dusty won’t let him go the distance, but wouldn’t shock me if JV’s only blemish is catching a sliver of the outside corner on an 0-2 pitch to the 9 hole hitter instead of getting that pitch off of the plate.

Can we go ahead and pinch hit tucker for Siri in the 6th or Chas in the 7th? 

[Mo Horn 8,933]

JFC, didn't realize we were facing Cy Young today.

I vote Siri:

 

[UTexasFight 9,790]

5 innings in 1:16 minutes 

[TonyTexas 10,687]

Yeah. I’m over the CF platoon. Chas has been fine. Siri not so much. Change his primary role to pinch runner and defensive replacement. 

[Wulaw Horn 19,563]

There is a place for Siri on a MLB roster, especially with 26 spots now, especially on a good team.  That place should not involve him having a bat in his hand more than 50 or 75 times a year.  

That's AB's on the year, not games.  Basically he should PR close and late, play the occasional defensive substitution, and PH for Maldonado or something close and late if it's not a leverage AB that you'd like to see Diaz or someone like that take.

Quick.  have the Yankees DFA’ed Marwin?

[perfectchaos007 6,768]

Anyone on the space cowboys want a chance at the plate?

We save them for 2 outs in the ninth, down by one situations. 

[OB3 3,636]

When is Meyers supposed to be back?

[Wulaw Horn 19,563]

So, an el perfecto through 6 with a measly 4 k's, vs a 1 hitter through 6 with 7 K's.  That might be your pitching duel of the year so far.  

This offense man.

JV is looking for Toro.  

[tx 3 putt 78,522]

let's get him now

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Chas!

[Guadaloopy 11,126]

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Chas is earning his bread.

[kevwun 16,371]

I swear Bregman pops up in half of his at bats.

[tx 3 putt 78,522]

yordan !!!

[Guadaloopy 11,126]

There we go.  

[Mez2 4,043]

Cobos is only good if me and idogg are there and Phil shows up eventually 

[kevwun 16,371]

Diaz looked like a beer league softball player on that one.

[Mo Horn 8,933]

Diaz has to make that play

[Mo Horn 8,933]

Well shit 

[Guadaloopy 11,126]

JV deserves a couple of runs now to put him in line for the win.
