Hunter Brown needs the break.

Warm up montero 

When Maverick lost Goose, he was back up in the air asap. 

[David Dennison 18946]

This is bad. This is very, very bad.

[Gut Wagon 8087]

What's the record for most pitches thrown in 3 official innings? This has to be close. 

[Scraps 13573]

No outs? Thanks Dusty

[Scraps 13573]

Mashitty should have prepped harder

[tx 3 putt 77402]

When’s the last time an Astros of threw out a guy at home ?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

We need 6 starting pitchers

[runthebone 8036]

Could see this coming a mile away, unfortunately

[HtownHorn 14776]

Ho hum, another shitty start with Maldonado catching Brown.

But we need to leave the thinking to Dusty.

Everything Maldy brings to the game he can do from the bench. Someone needs to take him away from Dusty.

Yordan does it on the daily

[UTexasFight 9528]

Brown 4th starter to throw 3 IP and have 8 Ks

 

what a weird start 

[David Dennison 18946]

This game seems like it sucks.

[runthebone 8036]

Hope we get a split.  Fuck

[UTexasFight 9528]

This blows 

[Scraps 13573]

Trade everyone

Fixed.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

lolololol clown show

[Huckleberry 33091]

Well this is stupid. Brown had no control from the start and then Maton one-upped him. 

Offensively we've hit Castillo hard with nothing really to show for it. Shitty game.

Good, his OBP will tick up and our odds of scoring increases. That means the net effect of his play is positive (I think). 

And the team is still better when he plays. Nothing else should matter because he’s not a bad guy, just a weirdo, and the team is not adversely affected by his inclusion in the lineup in any way (quite the opposite). 

Completely 100% agree. Just adding a little color.

These mother fuckers won’t shut the fuck up 

[cabowabo 4514]

Are we gonna have to listen to these fuckstick announcers the rest of the weekend?

Of all the things so loathe about Dusty this is probably at the top top of my list.

I wonder what they'll go on about.

[tx 3 putt 77402]

The Madris era starts tonight !

[UTexasFight 9528]

Someone tell Bligh that copying Montero on the mound is not a good look 

[Rimbo 26083]

[tx 3 putt 77402]

Hensley wax robbed !!!!

[Gut Wagon 8087]

If we're just not going to be legit contenders this season — and that looks more and more to be the case — I assume we'd much rather know it now than the week after the trade deadline. Doesn't make the buy/sell decision a snap in either case, but at least it gives us a better chance to add needed weaponry for the future.

So dumb to have a fireworks celebration after getting your asses kicked.

stupid dusty !

 

brown needs a rest, his arm is dead. Sit him a start after the all star break. Bring up Whitley !

[UTexasFight 9528]

5 years ago Tuck debut.

man what a babyface 

 

 

[Mo Horn 8854]

Looks like last night was a good night to be busy, and miss the game. 9 run inning? 

[Snake Diggity 4627]

Deadline needs:

1. lefty hitting everyday OF (ok if it’s a rental)

2. SP capable of starting a playoff game (ok if it’s a rental)

3. High leverage RP (needs to be controlled beyond this season)

To get those holes filled, the Astros can offer: an extra everyday caliber OF (Meyers, McCormick, or Julks), a extra BoR SP (Bielak, Blanco, Urquidy, or France), a solid group of 2nd/3rd tier prospects (Melton, Lee, Arrighetti, Loperfido, etc.), and some payroll flexibility.  Even in a sellers’ market they should be able to get what they need, without trading away any of their core players or their top prospect (Gilbert).

[txduck87 990]

We need a win tonight. That is my extremely valuable contribution to the thread today. You are welcome. Go Stros.

Yeah, Maton buckled down to hold them to single digits.
