A homerun now would give him the W for the game. 

Still a blown save. But this works!

These fucking Royals have almost beat us by getting 4 hits and then 2 hits.

We need to blow them out tomorrow

[UTexasFight 9449]

Idk that have any real fans, but how demoralizing must it be to be a mariners fan and having to watch your offense all year and then look up and see the Astros doing what they do and finding ways to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat the way we have the last couple of months 

[tx 3 putt 76957]

We lost by 1 run in 10 innings in the first game against them this year and they proceeded to curb stomp us winning by 9 and 10 the next two.

let’s do that 

[runthebone 7982]

Thank you, Jose

2024, the Year of the Cardiac Astros. We have now 73 wins, and it feels like maybe 10 of them were easy.

[WBT 20572]

Hader has 14 decisions on the season now?  Somehow that's snuck up on me.

Maybe.

felt like every other game the first few weeks of the season he was coming in a tie game or blew a game and left it tied

Forgot his name, but that dude has to have the worst job having to toe the company line and argue with the mouth breathers that call in after a tough game.

i don’t listen often..usually only after games I attend on my drive back to Austin… but it’s always popcorn-eating worthy waiting to hear what nonsense Dale in Deer Park is going to call in with.

Hader's been excellent this season.

[Gut Wagon 8069]

With Bregman out a lot, the left side of our infield has been an adventure lately. And not the fun kind. Let's get that out of our system pronto.

[Guadaloopy 10970]

None of us deserve him.

Potentially the best month of pitching since the mound was lowered in 1969.

Pretty amazing, considering they would have done it despite not having Pressly for half the month...

 

...

 

Anyway, put Kikuchi down for 5-2/3 no hit innings today.

[oh_snap 694]

Horns and Astros double header today. Glorious day

[runthebone 7982]

Darren Baker got called up to the majors.  Dusty and the family must be so excited.

Dusty had a kid at 50. If only his managerial style was as bold as his personal life.

Dana should have told them not to touch his Junk.

Ummm ok

[David Dennison 18860]

I have a feeling it's gonna be like that for the duration.

I trust this medical staff with Bregman's elbow

I’m considering driving down from Austin for the game tomorrow… but will probably have to make that decision before the lineup is posted, and terrified what it will look like.

i expect Espada is going to sit one or two main guys tomorrow and Monday to give them a 3 day break ahead of the final month 

[Scraps 13561]

Ughh. Royals got Yuli to fill 1B....supposed to be Abreu yo
