Stanek needs to visit the head shrink 

[HtownHorn 14,755]

Thank god, Stanek is done after this season.

[David Dennison 18,940]

Good job, everyone.

[HtownHorn 14,755]

Lulz, Maldy blocking pitches.

[WBT 20,643]

Fucking maldonado

[Limp Brisket 546]

Can we keep the fucking wheels on?

[Guadaloopy 10,989]

TF, Maldy?

He is such a fat lazy fuck. 
that’s not fair to him. He’s probably just old and incapable.

You act like he didn't lead the majors in PB+WP last year, too.

[cabowabo 4,492]

What in the fuck???

[Fudge Nuggets 19,209]

Throw fucking strikes, assholes.

[Wulaw Horn 19,138]

Abreu getting robbed with the bases loaded was funny when it was 7-1- not so fuckkng funny now. 
Call better pitches fuck face. Or just decide to catch them. Since the pitcher doesn’t matter (nor does ability to catch a ball) it’s all about game calling. 
maybe Maldy and Stanek need to have the same double date as Diaz and Montero since when relievers that have a great year revert back to shit  the next year means blame the catcher.

This is always the answer. 

[CycleTex87 2,979]

Can they get a guy out?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

need to seriously considering bringing Joe Sambito out of retirement.  Money talks! 

[Guadaloopy 10,989]

Tying run in scoring position.   Good job, gang.  

[David Dennison 18,940]

Freaking whew.

[Smax 3,800]

Nice job getting out of a jam we never should have been in

[HtownHorn 14,755]

Looking at the bullpen options in AAA will lead to heavy drinking.

[tx 3 putt 77,236]

[tx 3 putt 77,236]

Chas !!!

oppo taco 

[HtownHorn 14,755]

Sidd Finch is human.

[WBT 20,643]

Rake farm!

[UTexasFight 9,517]

102.5 is impressive.

But 102.5 in that spot in the majors isn’t going to get you very far

 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

in the old days a 103mph pitcher would be God.  Today, no spice in your game, then hittable even by 0.200 hitters. 

[billfromlaketravis 11,520]

So we’re working on what at least a 20 minute commercial break right now?

It takes that long to put on your home plate umpire gear ?

Fing ridiculous. Between this and the Miami weather I’m about to get pissed. 

[tx 3 putt 77,236]

Good inning with that long break

Along with its corollary, "Hit the fucking ball, assholes."

[billfromlaketravis 11,520]

Trout is dog shit against the Astros. Fight me Olney. 

[WBT 20,643]

Good job getting an out on that...looked very awkward

[cabowabo 4,492]

Get all the retard out today bullpen….I guess. 

[WBT 20,643]

Maldonado again.  Kicked that one clear into the dugout.

[WBT 20,643]

Never in doubt.  Keep winning series...and a winning homestand.  Go for the jumbo sweep tomorrow.

[tx 3 putt 77,236]

Win the getaway game tomorrow 

[runthebone 8,024]

I'm a little surprised, I had this lineup only scoring 8.

[Rimbo 26,020]

GOOD LUCK, FUCKERS

Bullpen has been trash this homestand.

[rvm96 1,643]

I missed the game but good to see Abreu with a couple more hard hit baseballs even though one of them was a double play. Process over results!

Corporate outing @Planet Houston?

How was the view of the action on the field from that level and distance?

Yep. I thought it was awesome. Maybe it’s because I was there with my 8 year-old and I’ve been filming little league through a chain link fence for the past several months, but we both thought it was so cool that we were close enough for Trout and Chas to hear us. They both acknowledged us when we would say something in a lull in action. It’s obviously very far from the action in the infield, but tons of TVs to get immediate closeups of what happened. Im sure it would be different during an August game against the A’s, but being able to look straight down the line on field level at three HOFers when the Angels were in the field and someone like (gulp) Altuve or (gulp) Yordan was pretty surreal.

Did he hit both hard hit grounders to the pull side today?

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Oh and as I mentioned a kid caught a ball that was pitched by Ohtani, hit by Tucker and caught by Trout. Pretty badass.

Chas McCormick homered on a 102.5 mph fastball -- that's the fastest pitch anyone has homered on in MLB this year.
