Guys need to get back on the steroids or something, so many balls dying at the warning track.

No juiced balls this year

[DoobieWah 1435]

'Bout freakin' time.

Al Tuve!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

There you go, 'tuve!

[mbtex 683]

Finally Altuveee

[Horny Bull 2759]

Tuuuuuuuuve

[mbtex 683]

LOL treat him like a rookie

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

According to Sparky, Altuve is the last position player on the roster to homer this year.

Fuck yeah....finally!!

[YChang 3443]

Nice to see Tuve finally hit that first homer!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[Dr. Teeth 5843]

MVP!!! MVP!!!

[UTexasFight 9429]

It’s crazy what expectations will do.

We’re at game 26 this year

Tuve had 3 HRs at this same point last year but didn’t get his first until game 18 so not too much earlier

he has the same number of doubles now as he did at this point last year.

his BA after game 26: .326

current BA: .333

The Altuve silent treatment after the bomb is A+

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck Pujols.

[YChang 3443]

Freaking Pujols. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Fuck Pujols.  Should have drilled his fat ass.

[UTexasFight 9429]

Not sure if they showed on TV, but 31st homer for Pujols at MMP 

most by visiting player

 

fuck that guy 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fucking Cozart

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

God damnit, the Angels of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Whittier are some lucky sons of bitches.  I hate them.

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Giles warming up.  That’s great.

[Scraps 13561]

Marisnick just dropped from 15Ks per homer to 10Ks per homer WOOOOO 

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Marisnick = Position Player of the Game

[Rustic Horn 929]

 

[Horny Bull 2759]

No sweep for you, Anaheim

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Nice win. Good to see Altuve get his first homer, Marisnick get his third, and Giles record a save. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Nice job Giles.  Showing signs of getting it together.

[Dr. Teeth 5843]

#17!!!

[Cosimo de' Medici 121]

GILES IS MASTERFUL

[YChang 3443]

Hopefully this gets the team back on another winning streak.

I like how Lance gave him the double barrel sunflower seed dousing. 

[Teddy Tucker 18]

For the Giles haters, through 10 games pitched. ERA 2.00 Whip 0.67 and 0 walks allowed so far.

Most important game of the season today.  I’m glad we have staff ace Justin Verlander going and more importantly they Mez is going to be there. Need to check lil shep out of school early to make this a done deal.

Z-ro and slim thug!

[Planet Houston 4930]

I've been in London all week and not back until the middle of next week, so missing the shit out of watching our Stros, but just glad I can post this given the early gametime.

 

[Dr. Teeth 5843]

Julia’s instagram stories has a good view of the silent treatment. 

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

This team plays so muchbetter on the road.

Realmuto with 4 HR in 25 ABs. this week. Astros getting decent production from McCann and Stassi but if you’re them do you revisit that trade thinking about next 4-5 years? Cost could be prohibitive.

In case you needed another reason to hate this fuck:

"I've faced better pitching than that," Pujols said.
