Hopefully, he didn't catch that family matter from Brantley.

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Hopefully he can break their hearts again ….

Hmm. Same cadence as a "Who's your daddy?" chant. What a coincidence. 

As for the Astros, just like that they're on pace for 108 wins. Ha. 

[tx 3 putt 77273]

He needs better security …

Holy shit, he/the Astros have completely broken them. 

[Gourmand 7774]

Commence the Surly Stros teeth gnashing and April lineup bitching

 

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Hensley / chas / Julks, like it. Get them to 100 AB’s asap (Diaz too)

dubon has a glove

Let’s get win #3 today !!!

 

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Sunday pre game has Dana brown on the radio. I’ll post notes 

[Scraps 13570]

Clevinger sucks ass so the lineup shouldn't matter.

Bregman lets get a hit before May

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Anyone that wanted bregman hitting lead off, need to be punched in the nuts 

I’d like to see Chas hit lead off and slide everyone back to their normal slot

I still think he should lead off. He has a .374 OBP for his career. He gets on base more consistently than anyone other than Yordan (who I’d have batting second), first 3 games notwithstanding.

But lineups have been fine so far, Pena is fine at 1 until Altuve gets back; though I agree with others about Chas…not sure why he isn’t starting in CF 3 out of every 4 games. He’s a good player. And to your point, I’d be fine if you wanted to flip-flop he and Pena in the order.

[tx 3 putt 77273]

He needs to be driving in runs. Others need to get on base for him 

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Brantley back to Florida this am. Hope to have him back by the end of the month, but they won’t rush him. He’ll have a rehab assignment 

mccullers threw yesterday, feels great (not off the mound)

Well you’re thinking like Dusty, at any rate.

Dana Brown :

expects Dirden to get a look this season. Julks had the AAA numbers last year over dirden 

Astros only team to start with 8 straight games 

blanco could be the #6 starter. Stretch out the staters / extra rest during a long season 

dusty earlier on blanco, didn’t want to use him a 3rd inning yesterday and not have him available for 3 days 

Brantley, 4th or 5th week of the season. Taking it slow. Swinging and he’s fine 

McCullers - no pain. He said he’s ready for the mound 

Blake Taylor - minor league rehab. feeling good on back to back days.

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Damn clevinger isn’t taking mucH time between pitches 

[Guest]

He seems  like he drank about 20 cups of coffee... damn.

[Gourmand 7774]

we're gonna have some benches clear today i think

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Fuck me, white sox have hit way too many Astros this series 

[UTexasFight 9519]

[tx 3 putt 77273]

He’s hurt 

He’s coming out 

[Gourmand 7774]

FUCKING KIDDING ME?????

FUCK THESE BITCHES UP

[UTexasFight 9519]

Everything else is turning back to ‘70s/‘80s baseball. Bring on the brawls

Bat knob challenges are the coldest of challenges 

[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

I've grown to hate the Chisox. Their uniforms are ugly, and it looks like all of them are Sluggo from that old comic strip. In my mind's ear they all talk like 1930s gangsters. They keep on beaning Astros. They need an ass-whoopin'. To reiterate, fuck the Chisox.

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Chas knew if he had to come out , dusty would bench him for a week 😂😂😂

[UTexasFight 9519]

Bunt!

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Free wings !

Damn Julks Swamy at ball 4 

great bunt dubon 

[txduck87 987]

Not able to watch. Who’d they hit? And did they have to leave game?

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Clevinger is balking every pitch

 

[Scraps 13570]

Abreu in 1st
We hit Vaughn in 2nd
They hit Chas in 2nd

None of them came out

Their uniforms and not being the Cubs are the only things they have going for them.

Clevinger already has 7 K's?? wtf

[Mo Horn 8853]

Sub optimal

[UTexasFight 9519]

Let’s go Bregman. Need to see something from you this inning 

[Gut Wagon 8086]

Good thing Clevinger sucks, or we'd be trailing. 

[WBT 20649]

Stop doing the wave assholes

[Dutchrudder 11150]

This Maton guy seems like he sucks. 

[tx 3 putt 77273]

Maton going to Maton ..

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

starting pitching has been mediocre, not a good sign.
