fair?

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Lots of great AB's and close calls this inning. Hopefully we'll have something to show for it.

 

edit: nope

i wonder the asking price ?

[Chuckie Finster 22600]

Cole looks fucking filthy so far.

[thetruth 149]

Ok so why did they call up Tucker if they're never going to let him play?

They've let him play plenty. But he's not starting against lefties.

Tomorrow is gonna be wild.

[Scraps 13543]

That Gattis magic worked that time

[DaysOff 7853]

This lineup does not fuck.

[Scraps 13543]

Mike Hampton is name that stro

[Scraps 13543]

Damn preston tucker traded to the reds...what a kick to the nuts

[kevwun 15662]

4 innings played in under an hour.

I was guessing Randy Johnson.

[Scraps 13543]

I was guessing Randy Johnson.

He was drafted by the Expos

[DaysOff 7853]

Holy shit

[Horny Bull 2759]

Way to save that play, Yuli.

[Scraps 13543]

Yuli saving the no no lol

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Go get Harper, Luhnow. That will take Osuna off the front page in a hurry.

That will take someone on the current roster plus a lot of farm.

Who goes?

[DaysOff 7853]

Fabulous GC

For a rental, it's not worth it.

Why you no like parades?

[Horny Bull 2759]

Springer getting burned on that high strike call tonight.

No guarantee of a parade with Harper, but we would have to give up enough to make next year dicey.

Dude is an automatic out. Hinch needs to move him down the lineup until he gets his head straight. 

[DaysOff 7853]

Scraps

He was a hell of a football player as well

[FondrenRoad 4378]

Paxton has only thrown 11 pitches an inning. Hell. I think he gets a 1-0 complete game today. Astros bats need to do something.

Why has the cloak room vomited on this thread. Thanks assholes

You probably shouldn't look at his numbers since the break. He's been one of the bright spots.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

The no hitter ruined on an infield single

[Chuckie Finster 22600]

Well, see y’all tomorrow.

[runthebone 7932]

I would argue the thing ruining it is no fucking runs

[Horny Bull 2759]

Well shit

[Planet Houston 4923]

That’s probably all she wrote. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Welp, that escalated quickly 

[Gut Wagon 8053]

Guess I'll catch the outcome in the a.m. Although I already dread checking it.

I haven't noticed any bright spots since the all star break. 

[David Dennison 18661]

'Member when making up two runs was a given?

I 'member.

[YChang 3432]

Sigh... this team

[thetruth 149]

Easiest disappointment of the season has to be Marwin. Feels like he fell off a cliff. Sad because he was a huge piece last year. 

[David Dennison 18661]

Inches away from being up 3 - 2.

 

[Chuckie Finster 22600]

The wife-beater ain’t gonna have any games to close out at this rate.

[kevwun 15662]

Marwin reverted to his norm.  Last year was his career year.  They may not win a game this week.

Altuve and Correa being injured has really highlighted how weak of a team we are when they don't play

Well, his last three years he is a .277 hitter with 16 home runs on average in limited playing time. He's been a pretty good utility player for the team. He's just plays too much.

Should have traded him when his value was peak after the season.

If you asked me how this team would do with both of them out of the line up, I would guess it would look something like this.
