Tyler Greene would like a word. 

Hunter would too

[BrickTop 474]

Hunter would too

The same Hunter Greene that gave up 7 fastball HR’s in Two innings his previous start. And they all clocked 98-100 mph

[rvm96 1643]

Dusty just deprived us of another Yordan AB. 😢

[Scraps 13542]

Dusty just deprived us of another Yordan AB.

And altuve another hit closer to 3000

[Gut Wagon 8052]

I like our 13 hits more than theirs. 

[Scraps 13542]

Dubon the one guy who gives zero fucks lol

[tx 3 putt 76350]

Come on chas, have to be smarter at the plate 

[tx 3 putt 76350]

Bregman needs a day off or something

[Scraps 13542]

Bregman needs a day off or something

Dusty only gives players who are pounding the ball days off....if you suck you get to play forever

Based on Altuve's resurgence, I might suggest #2 hit himself in the groin. But he'd probably miss. 

[tx 3 putt 76350]

Odo looks happy on the bench 

[tx 3 putt 76350]

Martinez with a very nice outing tonight 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Nice job by Martinez tonight...as just noted. 🤣

So are juiced balls back?

[WBT 20418]

Looks like Taylor is coming in on Gameday.  Dusty should let Martinez get a save!

wondered about that too

[WBT 20418]

We've only won 2 innings tonight and they've won 3.  Augie wouldn't approve.

I’ve been doing all sorts of other stuff. I’ve watched 30 minutes of the game. I’ve seen all 13 of our runs.

[maninblack 7974]

 

[Rimbo 25778]

That was fun.

[Guadaloopy 10921]

Only scored in two frames?  All around feeble effort.  

[tx 3 putt 76350]

Win the series tomorrow 

[runthebone 7932]

My only regret is that we didn't get to hit homers off of Joe Kelly tonight.

 

I missed the game discussion.  Is there a HR cycle?  Is that a thing?

[billfromlaketravis 11359]

I like what I saw from Martinez. He throws strikes. That makes him unique in the Astros bullpen.

Good innings eater.

[Halohal 498]

Zero cares but I'm watching as many highlights on repeat. Astros!

Friends of mine can be seen in the row above to the left in Astros gear.  They were getting some HR action last night.  

[tx 3 putt 76350]

Complete bs this isn’t a noon game today on a get away day for the Astros. Leave with a W, give them a reason to hate us 

[Scraps 13542]

bruh they moved it up an hour, what more do you want from them

That’s nuts to me. Unless it’s like a 2 or 3 for one to level up and get an ace type as a consolidation trade. That would make sense. Or if LMJ isn’t right. 

[kevwun 15643]

Having 2 aces in the playoffs is real nice especially when one of them isn't a spring chicken anymore.

Sounds like more of a contigency plan if they come across a good deal in case LMJ doesn't come back at his best and so they can move Javier back to the pen where he thrives.

[TonyTexas 10482]

That Click quote is not even worthy of discussion. It’s simply GM-speak for we are open for anything if it improves our club and/or is good for our future. 

[Scraps 13542]

Just like the Tucker contract shit from other day is not worth a discussion either

[tx 3 putt 76350]

I think this org is always on the look out for a good deal. Need to raid the dodgers for another young super star. 

[tx 3 putt 76350]

[Scraps 13542]

When he hits a lead off homer today that will be his 900th run scored 

[UTexasFight 9379]

Scraps is on a heater.

 

time to find that prop bet and bet the house 

[henrygandorf 29174]

dude doesn’t even seem like a rookie. 

[tx 3 putt 76350]

His power has been eye opening

he’s in the zone !

[Scraps 13542]

Let me make sure he is in the starting lineup today and I will throw some money on him hitting a homer today

He hits the ball real real hard

[henrygandorf 29174]

not sure i've seen a ball hit on such a line over the monster.  forgetting whatever wind they were blathering about.

[kevwun 15643]

I believe the other 4 homers in that inning were all around 100mph, but Pena's was 110.
