Put Uncle Mike at first when he's back, he's going to be a better first baseman than Abreu on day 1 based on athletic ability and body type alone.  

Ahem

Someone bielak ing 

[David Dennison 18946]

Looking like we signed a washed up player to the final three years of a long term deal.

Cool.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

It’s painful right now.

[runthebone 8039]

Abreu is just fucking the worst.

[tx 3 putt 77419]

Fuck servis 

[tx 3 putt 77419]

Fuck you 76 !!!!

❤️ Alavarez next to maldy the whole time 

[FartingMonk 3608]

Totally missed what happened.  What cleared the benches

[cabowabo 4514]

God damn we suck

Ive never seen an ump call timeout during a pitcher's windup.   And caballero deserves a pitch to the rib cage

He’s out at first

I’m way behind on roster activity but don’t we have some decent farm system pitchers that could have started for this game? Does Whitley just suck or what? 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Both calls should stand. Lets see if NY fucks us

[runthebone 8039]

Why challenge?  They already have enough runs to win.

[tx 3 putt 77419]

They were both out, good review 

[UTexasFight 9528]

Um, where's he going?

Hopefully to the bench for at least a game.

I’m so tired of seeing him out there sandwiched between Yordan and tucker every single fucking game 

[Dennis Taylor 18869]

Servais always had that fucking look on his face. Can't stand that asshole

Sheeeeeeeeeit, we can't even get Dusty to move him out of the clean up spot.

Apparently the catcher and batter were yelling at each other in Messican.  Perhaps a chinga tu Madre or a joto was used

He bielak at the minor league 

[tx 3 putt 77419]

I need a replay

[cabowabo 4514]

I’m not an expert on ball rules, but quit dancing around on the mound and throw the damn ball.

It was a weak sauce call in every way.  But it's Phil "I like to be the center of attention" Cuzzi, so not surprising. 

[FartingMonk 3608]

I'm the Wally of the Astros games in Seattle.  Batting 0

I'd love to know what Dana Brown thinks about the Abreu and Montero deals.

[Rockethorn1978 6102]

We’re just setting up the league for a huge run to our second title.

Probably high on the Montero deal.  Compared to other reliever deals it really wasn't bad.  
And probably "I understand why" on Abreu.  Let's not forget pretty much everyone thought it was a good deal, maybe a year too long.  Also Abreu has started his seasons like this in his career, just like Bregman.  He's the one guy I've been okay with Dusty letting keep go out there, unlike Maldonado and Hensley.  

[rvm96 1643]

Have to challenge the hitter there. He was terrified to face a lefty.

He should not be hitting fourth under any circumstances.

Or why we have dead weight like Bannon and Madris on our 40. 

[runthebone 8039]

At least we can't get swept.

Madris is actually doing okay at sugar land.

I guess they believe they can tread water until July and still make the playoffs.

[UTexasFight 9528]

Maybe we score 7 with 2 outs in a late inning 

[rvm96 1643]

Setting up Yordan to crush their souls in the 9th?

Madris is this years Lewis Brinson. Brinson hit .299 with 22 at Sugarland but was probably never coming up. AAA lifer. Only difference is Click didn’t waste a spot on the 40 on him. 

[hornmpa96 2620]

Why is Maldy getting an AB in the 8th inning of a 2 run game?

[runthebone 8039]

Does Bregman have options left?

Alex Bregman is 0-for-4 today and slashing .195/.322/.320 after his first 152 plate appearances this season.

[YChang 3462]

This is a mostly mediocre team so far that’s been at times (rarely) brilliant. Sigh…
