Trigger warning for @Wulaw Horn

Hmmm. “Direct correlation” can actually be quantified. I haven’t run the numbers, but I bet there isn’t any meaningful “correlation.”

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Let’s Go, lock down the series win !!!

[runthebone 8131]

A couple beneficial calls, but hopefully Brown goes 6+.

[runthebone 8131]

Welcome back!

[tx 3 putt 77920]

[David Dennison 19117]

Y'all can STFU now.

[runthebone 8131]

This strike zone blows.

[tx 3 putt 77920]

That was a horrible throw into 2nd 

[UTPhil2006 3828]

Yep Altuve is washed. About as washed as soon to be Big 12 champs Texas baseball 

[WBT 20735]

Tuve!!

Obviously the Astros rushed him back too soon.

-Chandler Rome and half of surly

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

And just like that…Hello Altuve and I have no idea what I’m talking about lol

I guess we can’t dfa him now !

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Breggy !!!

It feels like old times ….

[runthebone 8131]

Jesus, ump.  Brown shouldn't throw anything in the zone.

[cabowabo 4578]

Is this ump stoned?

[runthebone 8131]

Good job

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Good job Yordan 

[David Dennison 19117]

That's some good baseball.

[WBT 20735]

Is 40 RBIs in our 45th game any good?

[Scraps 13598]

Another dipshit umpire

[David Dennison 19117]

Clean up.

[cabowabo 4578]

Someone pull the plug on Abreu.  Please dear God. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Dubon to 1B.  Do it. 

[runthebone 8131]

Stole a run.  Nice job, Bregman and KT

[tx 3 putt 77920]

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Ball 4 to Chas was a strike for Yordan and abreu

what a fucking clown 

[runthebone 8131]

A's broadcast comparing Maldonado's relationship with pitchers to Yadier Molina.

[texashorne 1178]

Never in my life would I have dreamed about being pissed Dubon isn't in the lineup, but here we are....

[David Dennison 19117]

Clean up.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Astros are playing one of the worst teams of all time, maybe finish in the bottom 3 EVER, maybe 2023 KC will be there too.  Better not lose a game to them.  On this massive list, only 12 teams post WW2 and Houston 2013 is one of them.

Dusty is a clown. 

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Kemp’n Ain’t Easy !

Hell of a DP !!!

[tx 3 putt 77920]

No review ?

[Wulaw Horn 19233]

From another website. 
 

Yordan and Tucker are pretty much first or second in all these stats, so putting them aside as clearly our 2 best hitters

Yainer Diaz's team ranks among everybody else
xBA 2nd (.260)
xOBP 2nd (.327)
xSLG 1st (.481)
xOPS 1st (.808)

He would also be 1st in exit velocity, 1st in barrel rate, and 2nd in hard hit %. His exit velocity and barrel rate are actually better than Tuckers and would both be in the top 15% of the entire league if he qualified.

It's completely understandable that he averages 1.3 PA per game. It's not like our offense has struggled and he's some highly regarded hitting prospect.

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Damn tough called strike on Altuve. Locked him up

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Hats off to sears for bouncing back after that 1st inning 

we need an insurance run or two

[runthebone 8131]

Astros fucking around today

[David Dennison 19117]

Clean up.

[WBT 20735]

Be nice to score this inning to get Brown the W

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Damn. Sears for Cy Young.

lolno

[Wulaw Horn 19233]

I love the fact that the most important AB’s of the game have gone to Julks x2 and Maldy. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Stanek just wanted more air time.

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Get him Home Altuve 

[uoftorange 1388]

Does anyone else get agitated with Julks and Meyers refusing to get helmets that fit?  Meyers at least usually stays on.  It's just stupid and dangerous.  There is a reason you wear a helmet.  And it's dangerous not only to him but other players with it flying off all the time.

PS. Not as agitated with that as I am with Dusty not playing Diaz.
