btw, there were times last year and earlier this year when we just couldn't hit, especially at home.  i know it seems like we're 2-10 since the all-star break, but it only seems that way.

like i've said again and again - either our stars figure out what's going on at the plate, and we'll be fine.  or they won't, and it won't matter.  trading for a bat solves nothing.

It will also help if we have our 2 best hitters playing.

Reading about Pressly’s whiff rate and spin rate makes me feel good about him.  FIP 2.95, ridiculous BABIP so maybe Minnesota’s defense blows.

funny, i was just reading about pressly this morning.  good stuff.  obviously we need help down there.

We’re talking about Jaime, right?

[runthebone 8022]

SI gives the Astros an A, says Pressly is stellar

No Altuve again today.

[henrygandorf 29194]

two in a row for severino.  this time home vs kc.  yikes.

[Gut Wagon 8083]

So to summarize the collective surly wisdom: If we hit well and pitch well, we’ll win a high percentage of the time. Check.

Five game lead. Not a surprise.

[Scraps 13569]

Reddick batting 3rd makes me weep

[TexArcher 37989]

Ariel Jurado: a 22 year-old rookie who was shelled in his only previous start.

Time to bust out of some slumps.

[HtownHorn 14753]

Escobar would have been a good candidate to add, he's better than Marwin.

[Scraps 13569]

Stassi stepping up his throw out game

[Scraps 13569]

Verlander getting punked by douchefuck behind the plate

[Scraps 13569]

Lol at Stassi/Beltre staredown

[clapclapclap 9000]

Damn, Springer, a Little Mermaid just struck you out.

[Mez2 4025]

Let's try our hardest today

[Scraps 13569]

Fan needs his ass kicked.

[DaysOff 7959]

Getting concerned

[HtownHorn 14753]

wtf is Davis still on the MLB roster?

[henrygandorf 29194]

kiner felefa has more hits this series than the astros.  did i hear that right?

[WBT 20638]

George is getting upset

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fucking Springer Dinger!!!!!! Now let's go, boys!

[Rustic Horn 929]

[TexArcher 37989]

Rangers broadcasters had to stop deep-throating this kid with the 7.71 ERA for a minute to describe that bomb to center.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

God I hate that fucking guy

[DaysOff 7959]

Best meth hitter in the game

[TexArcher 37989]

I think Rougie is Spanish for Micropenis.

[David Dennison 18938]

Where was Kyle Tucker on that hit?

 

[Chuckie Finster 22702]

Man this team is an embarrassment right now.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Bad News Bears Night is turning out to be a stupid promotion.

[Horny Bull 2762]

I think I’ve seen enough of JD Davis for awhile.

They better get their shit together. Next week is a beast.

JD Davis is not a MLB-caliber third baseman. I liked some of the pop he showed before getting sent down earlier in the season, but his defense is a fucking liability at third.

Especially when you have a guy who can win a bunch of Gold Gloves at that position.

[David Dennison 18938]

One hit.

We have one hit.

Again.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

It's almost like not having two of the best players in the game in the lineup has a negative effect on offensive production.

Again.

But two errors!

[runthebone 8022]

This is like the 2016 lineup, where you had about 4-5 guaranteed outs in a row.

[Chuckie Finster 22702]

Announcers said the least amount of hits this dude gave up in AA through 5 innings was 5. It will eventually turn around, but this is bigger than just Correa/Altuve.

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

We couldn’t score three runs against Chico’s Bail Bonds at this point. Fucking pathetic.

Looking at you Dave Hudgens. WTF?

[TexArcher 37989]

Come on, Reddick...

[David Dennison 18938]

Hey guys, maybe don't try to hit a home run every time when what we really need is a good ol' routine hit.

 

[clapclapclap 9000]

We're about to get the Elvis/Pressly matchup everyone tuned in for.

[Player 4575]

Odor looks like cutthroat chip-o.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck Odor

[UTexasFight 9514]

Gulp

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Sit the fuck down old man

[TexArcher 37989]

Rougned Odor masturbates to WWE.
