Great game!   Keep it rolling.

Win this series tomorrow. God willing, we’ll have Altuve and Presley back very soon

Player B has had a good last couple games but yeah- he started out ice cold (other than still playing platinum globe caliber defense at SS). 
 

be interesting to watch how it all plays out. 

[henrygandorf 29175]

yeah .217 is after a hot streak. 

[billfromlaketravis 11359]

So Correa guys. Where ya at? 

[Muny_Tex 292]

Hello. I’m not inclined to summarily dismiss a generational talent with an .850 career playoff OPS based on his first 69 ABs in a blah lineup with shit weather.

Peña proving to be a bonafide big leaguer doesn’t mean the team wouldn’t/couldn’t have been better with another 1-year deal for Carlos…I don’t think Peña would’ve been “wasted” as an alternative to Goodrum, and he’d probably be getting a lot of starts in Altuve’s absence anyway.

[Muny_Tex 292]

Also: Mentioned many times on this thread, but bears repeating that CC is a complete dumbass for allowing those clowns at William Morris to bungle that monster offer from Detroit.

[Guadaloopy 10923]

Is this where we come to bitch about today’s lineup?

I mean, that is just awful. Instead of best hitter hitting two we go worst hitter hitting two. So sick of that shit. And yes, I know it doesn’t matter all that much over the long run.

Generally agree with this, but would note whether or not we use the money saved to plug some holes at the deadline will play a major role in how we look at this after the year…..so mark it incomplete, Dude.

[mbtex 683]

Hope we don't have to watch that fat ginger fuck hold up that trash can Houston shirt all game. Well maybe it would be good because we won.

[Scraps 13542]

Niko at 2 is so brutal. Literally anyone other than Machete is a better choice at 2....including Castro. Jesus christ

[WBT 20421]

This Springer guy is pretty good

Mike Trout is generational talent. Carlos Correa is not even close.

Id rather have Correa in a playoff series 

[WBT 20421]

We really need to make him pay for walking Goodrum

Or not

Castro is likely done. Can't even square up a mid 90's FB anymore. No bat speed.

Did I hear there is a dude at SLSC that might be ready this season?

Instead of Tucker coming up in a 1 run game in the 9th - we get Nico - this is stupid baseball

Criminal not to ph Uncle Mike for Goodrum

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Springer single-handedly beat the Astros today. Wish we still had him.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Feels like the torch is being passed grabbed.
