Look- I get it on frustration with Bregman. We thought he would be an mvp type and he’s settled in to merely being a “very very good player”. That said, dudes been 33% better than league average and has 1.3 WAR already. That’s on pace for like a 5 war season. 4 WAR is considered all star. 8 or so WAR is considered MVP caliber. 

He's about to be paid like a super star. He needs to produce at that level. A lot of the Correa/Springer calculus was based on Bregman being the 2018/9 version.

Good job by Siri turning the lineup over.  Either Brantley or Yuli need to ph here but alas..

He’s really not though. 22-25 million isn’t super star money on the FA market it’s quality player money. Bregman won’t be overpaid if he keeps putting up 3-5 Win seasons. 

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Framber is better than some here give him credit for imo. He’s not a Cy Young type but he’s a solid #2. If he’s third in your rotation in the playoffs he’s probably better than most of the guys he’s facing that day. 

[WBT 20421]

Top of the order up, time for some insurance 

[Scraps 13542]

Palindrome out of the game

[runthebone 7932]

Altuve's cup check was a gamechanger

[WBT 20421]

Altuve has doubled his season doubles total tonight

[Scraps 13542]

Altuve has doubled his season doubles total tonight

You really should have double posted this

[clapclapclap 9000]

I see Otto won't pilot them to victory.

He's getting $30.5M over the next 2 seasons, that is superstar money.

and another typical Bregman AB, can't even move the runner up 90'.

SUPER STAR!

[WBT 20421]

Yordan about to pick up his 3rd straight walk

[TexArcher 37508]

Bregman's strikeout on a slider looked way too much like Machete's strikeout on a slider.

[cabowabo 4453]

What the fuck is Altuve doing??

[TexArcher 37508]

What the actual fucking fuck?

[HtownHorn 14487]

3 awful baserunning mistakes. This team is mentally tired. Going to need the bullpen to close this one out, we are likely done scoring.

Hell of a bounce back for Neris

[WBT 20421]

Double stealing like it's 1987

[Scraps 13542]

Pinch hitters are illegal

[Scraps 13542]

Siri better do something positive here

[runthebone 7932]

Just execute a fly ball.

[Scraps 13542]

Should've been Brantley followed by Yuli for Machete.

Fuck this off day bullshit yo

Unbelievable that Yuli isn't hitting.  Fucking negligence 

[cabowabo 4453]

Siri is quickly becoming my most hated Astro ever.

And why the fuck is Maldonado batting here?

[runthebone 7932]

Hey, we have two guys who fucking suck at making contact  

 

Let's roll with them

[Scraps 13542]

Lmao Dusty is Boss

[WBT 20421]

[billfromlaketravis 11359]

Curtains in life : death, taxes, and getting to the Ranger’s bullpen. 

[runthebone 7932]

Fuck Siri, though

[HtownHorn 14487]

and Dusty Baker quietly laughs at all the haters.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Machete plays possum with his batting avg.

[rvm96 1643]

Suck it Seager

[HtownHorn 14487]

Nice 28 point jump for Altuve's BA tonight.

[tx 3 putt 76371]

Come on bregman !!!

[UTexasFight 9380]

I like this vintage 2014 Altuve..

I like this vintage 2017 Astros team even more 

 

[Rip76 4914]

Bregman needs a slump buster 

[tx 3 putt 76371]

Bregman looks lost up there

Framber's at a big disadvantage, though. He never gets to face Bregman.

Does bregman suck ass now?  Kind of seems like it, and I can't believe I'm saying that

Bergman’s stance at the plate just looks different to me. Maybe the injuries last year made him alter his stance to compensate. I’m sure theyve looked at all that but something is still wrong with him. He needs to go watch old Bregman cause this current guy ain’t that guy.
