Huge fucking win. And I'm quite drunk, having had wine with dinner and 2 martinis.

we keep CFM, we have at least one more title. Letting him walk was a huge mistake

All I know is that dude was nails in Game 7 and for that he will always be an all-time Astro.

He’s absolutely right. We would have one another one last year if not for Dusty’s stupidity with his lineups 

[UTexasFight 9834]

Sure. But of all the shit to talk about on May 3 when we’ve won 5 of 6.

Save it for Jan 3 “I hate the offseason “ talk.

 

[UTexasFight 9834]

Gotta love baseball

Blanco and Martinez sporting ~2.00 ERAs a fifth of the way through the season.

Pressly and Hader battling the 5.00 and 6.00 ERA bogeyman.

Big win tonight.  As crazy as it is to say, it feels like we need to win our Blanco starts.  And Kirby is no joke.

Yep

only 3 Ks against a guy that had 12 last time out.

love that in all of the shit so far this season we’re still maintaining our ability to be best in the league at (not) striking out.

the situational hitting is starting to turn.

.375 (21-56) since Mexico City.

(And we stand to be even better in that area cutting the dude that was responsible for 10% of the team’s Ks when he was demoted)

I don’t see the Singleton story ending well, but he’s on the Dennis Quaid trajectory right now.

We have the human K machine Joey Loperfido sporting a 45.5% K rate. It didn’t get better. I like Loperfido and think he will get the K rate down, but that won’t be an improvement from Abreu.

He won’t play as much as Abreu. (At least when Chas gets back)

 Baseball is fun again!

JLope has an upside, Chas has peaked ?

Maybe the team felt bad for Abreu, didn't want to hit too much and make him feel worse.  Maybe he's loading up on horse steroids down in Florida.

[kevwun 16452]

He needs to start sprinkling hgh on every meal.

[The Earl of Texas 3217]

If we're really on the comeback trail here, it's Framber who will put the biggest exclamation on it. Let's fucking go.

Also, my oh Myers:

 

[Scraps 13813]

I mean sure use stats where the player doesn't qualify

[Scraps 13813]

Lets win the series today

[tx 3 putt 78807]

Dubon has a stronger arm than Jake in cf

Pitcher injury updates:

Cristian Javier is currently pitching a rehab assignment game

Jose Urquidy is throwing a live BP session tomorrow

Luis Garcia threw a bullpen session yesterday

Lance McCullers Jr threw off slope of the mound in the bullpen yesterday

 

 

Lance McCullers Jr. starting throwing off the top of the mound today, Joe Espada said.

"Huge," Espada said. "That's a big step because effort level comes up and now you've got to finish pitches a little bit different. That extra whatever feet, it makes a big difference."

Settle down, Framber. Good grief.

[Scraps 13813]

This lineup sucks...quit fucking around Framber

[tx 3 putt 78807]

Jumping on them early would be nice

[Scraps 13813]

Lol Yordan slow on the acceleration there

[Scraps 13813]

"Remember when" AJ Pierzynski didn't suck? Me either

I mean that was a fair ball but OK

Not Framber's best start.

If we had an offense that could score consistently we wouldn’t think 2 runs is that big of a deal. 

[cabowabo 4692]

You supposed to pop out fuckstick. 

[Gut Wagon 8219]

Big DP by Bregman. Unfortunately, he was batting.

I’m having a better year at the plate than Bregs.

Astros SP is a real “grab bag” this year. You never know, but expect nada.

[Mo Horn 8943]

Really bad Framber tonight

[Scraps 13813]
