What the heck was that

[runthebone 7990]

Dubon, who the fuck do you think you are, Altuve?

[Honeysucklerose 990]

What a mf’in waste

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Rangers losing 10-0 at home vs ATL

[runthebone 7990]

Strike 3!

[Scraps 13561]

Montero time lol

[WBT 20586]

Will Montero be as shitty in the 7th as in the 8th?  Let's find out!

[WBT 20586]

Julia jinx talking about Dubon's defense earlier

[Scraps 13561]

Pena doing work

[WBT 20586]

Pena!

[Rip76 4928]

Wow!

[Scraps 13561]

Only Meyers makes a 200 ft foul look like a 400 ft bomb

[Scraps 13561]

Salsa man in da house

[WBT 20586]

Y'all keep talking shit about Bregs!

[elfenix 34266]

[runthebone 7990]

Bregman heard Maldonado's footsteps behind him.

[YChang 3450]

Damn it, Tuck got robbed

[rvm96 1643]

Tuck can't buy an extra base hit tonight. The one earlier would have been out of 7 ballparks. This most recent one would have been out of 17.

I’m not worried about montero. I am worried about stanek

No Kalas, it was not his ankle, it was his knee.

[WBT 20586]

No walks Stanek

[tx 3 putt 76980]

I hope we have several of these ceremonies next season …..

For Abreu and Maldy most certainly 

[Storm the Field 5295]

No real drama for either Montero or Stanek is a very welcome sight.

[Rip76 4928]

Hopefully Abreu is starting to see it now.

[runthebone 7990]

Good job not GIDP, Meyers.

[David Dennison 18875]

I like winning.

[elfenix 34266]

Astros win!

[Smax 3800]

Good win

[UTexasFight 9454]

Framber: never schedule me for a home start on Monday’s where I have no choice in the jersey 

[Storm the Field 5295]

Starting the week off right.

[Rimbo 25946]

And the Astros are denied the opportunity to bat in the 9th inning. This is a win for the Cubs.

[Rip76 4928]

16k’s, Breg bomb, Abreu 2 for 3, Peña balling.

Good night.  

[Rimbo 25946]

GOOD LUCK, FUCKERS

That felt like my Astros: scoring early, clutch hitting, big plays, lights out bullpen, striking everyone out.

[runthebone 7990]

Honestly, I don't see us losing again the rest of this year.

Keep winning games, Keep getting healthy 

[rvm96 1643]

I thought he was going to be a bust after his first couple of years. Maybe he can actually be a MLB contributor.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

what's his next contract looking like ?

Hopefully we have relearned about paying for middle relief performance.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

I hope we resign him just for the thread meltdown (team friendly deal)

Best 5th inning guy in baseball

[TexArcher 37839]

Bullpen: 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 8 K.  Get some.

Winning a game when Framber blows up makes me think we're turning a corner here.

i thought Abreu was a good signing and replacement / upgrade for yuli. but it was a shitty fa class from the start. Everyone over paid 

We all thought Abreu was a great signing--hopefully he proves us right-- but it looks like father time ran him down quickly.

Signing Eovaldi would have been an impact move. Woulda coulda shoulda strengthened the Astros pitching depth and taken a future starter away from Arlington.

Eh…we all thought Abreu would be an upgrade over the 2022 version of Yuli. We didn’t all think it was a great contract/signing, precisely because of Father Time. Three years was always too much for him.

Maybe but the overwhelming sentiment about that third year was "idgaf cuz this offense FUCKS!!"
