We love one pitch outs

 

First pitch swinging is a decent strategy against Kirby.

 

he’s not going to be out of the zone 

[dr99 560]

Verlander needs to grow some balls and respond to Altuve getting thrown at near his head both at bats.

[Rip76 4943]

This game will be over in an hour.

Not in the early innings when he has to eat innings because we have no starting pitching.

 

maybe in the 6th or 7th when Julio comes up to AB the 3rd time 

[Smax 3800]

Pena chasing sliders again

[UTexasFight 9498]

A little surprised Julio didn’t make a stronger effort at that 

[Scraps 13562]

Lol 6 balls out of the zone to Jake

[Macklemore 2872]

Let’s go Rake!

I’m cutting him some slack against Kirby’s  

[Rip76 4943]

 

Put it in the seats.

[David Dennison 18922]

Well, that was our scoring inning.

Let's hope it's enough.

At some point, I get the sense we’re going to have to score in more than one inning to win a game.

but maybe the back of the baseball card says otherwise 

[Overlord 366]

Jake Meyers is my hero. The Great American Hero. Hair and all. And helmet 2 sizes too big.

[UTexasFight 9498]

That changeup tho!

[Rip76 4943]

As a group, these guys are lost at the plate.  And with no true leader, or spark, it’s getting tougher.

[UTexasFight 9498]

 

 

Stop

shaking

off

yanier

[David Dennison 18922]

Grooved.

[Gut Wagon 8083]

Well, maybe Pena can pass that sombrero down the dugout to Tucker here in a couple innings. 

[David Dennison 18922]

Solid AB, bro.

[UTexasFight 9498]

What a horrendous AB

[cabowabo 4487]

I'll be so glad when Bregman is gone.

[David Dennison 18922]

That's called setting the tone.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Bregman blows.

[Gut Wagon 8083]

Guess I could hang around and see what happens. But I've been awake since about last midnight Seattle time and think I know how this one's going to go. 

[UTexasFight 9498]

When did the MLB app finally wake up and sync up the audio with near real time instead of a full batter or two behind?

about damn time

Kirby is out.

Thornton should be in.

 

I think we got this since Pressly should have the night off 

 

JV for 7 with Abreu and Hader and a singleton bomb and call it a night 

Edited May 30 by UTexasFight

[UTexasFight 9498]

30 pitches the last three innings after 50 the first three for JV

Thank you Seattle, for abandoning your gameplan 

[cabowabo 4487]

Can we bring Maldonado back?

[David Dennison 18922]

Strikes out the side in order.

Fantastic.

I wanted to protest this earlier and call out how it wasn’t giving credit to Kirby…

 

but I’m sick of seeing fucking Trent Thornton mow us down this series 

[Rip76 4943]

L.O.S.T.

That was an abysmal swing by Yanier on strike three.

head was off in the puget sound 

[cabowabo 4487]

We all know how this is gonna end. And yet we continue to watch…..

Im just watching here can’t stomach it with my eyes

[Honeysucklerose 990]

I love punishment

[David Dennison 18922]

Please don't be one batter too long.

Edited May 30 by David Dennison
Whew.

[Wishbone 4762]

IMO, from what I’ve seen to this point of the season, our beloved Astros team this year is playing like a team that doesn’t know who is in charge of things. Absence of quality leadership and guidance we became accustomed to in the last few years.

[runthebone 8013]

I think Espada shouldn't have told them they only need to score in one inning each game. 

[Scraps 13562]

Blum is about to beat TKs ass

[David Dennison 18922]

Nice play, jerk.

watching the game but with  ford/sparks on audio.

i have no idea what they keep showing them doing in the booth… but not about to switch the audio option to find out 

[Scraps 13562]

TK eating crickets and keeps trying to get Blum to eat some and Blum is like dude no

I hope he does. At this point I’ll take a win any way we can get it. Even from ex-Astros.

We're really going to do it again, aren't we?

[tx 3 putt 77060]

Disappointing

Yes

[BrickTop 477]

Draft kings thinks Jose abreu is pitching.

[Scraps 13562]

Bregman getting fucked

[UTexasFight 9498]

I wish Bryan got the at bats that Jose actually does
