Its not. We are 8-17 at home against AL West. He posted full record against AL West

Oh yeah. Derp. 

I'm still kind of surprised it's that good.

Altuve hasn’t even started running yet, he’ll be out for awhile still  

[perfectchaos007 6596]

I am glad we are not going to lose a baseball game today

[David Dennison 18657]

McTaggart answers fans' questions.

It would be nice if they told us what's really wrong with his knee. Does discomfort last this long?

[kevwun 15650]

I don't know when they became the Patriots.  Maybe it's just the weird injuries this year, but there are no more details other than the name of the body part that's effected.

[macz 1]

We just need Altuve for the postseason. If you had a problem with your  Enzo Ferrari, wouldn't you want to think twice before you took it to just any mechanic?

If I had to guess, they know he's going to need surgery.* I think they are trying to hold him out as long as they possibly can, get him through the post-season and then deal with it.

I hope he's ready to go by April.

* Not a doctor.

I don't think he needs surgery, just being extra cautious. The whole team is banged up. Honestly, I don't think Yuli or Carlos have fully healed their hand injuries...now it's also a back issues for correa. Springer hand injury is more worrisome to me then anything.  Just stay positive, it's never easy task to repeat, but I can assure you, we will make a deep run and that's why they are not rushing Altuve back in anyway. Springer is tough as crap, I know he will make it back soon

[macz 1]

Now, let's watch the Mariners and A's beat each other up lol

[tx 3 putt 76380]

Mez can play second

And yet, and I still find this incredible, we're better right now than we were last year at the same time.

 

The 1998 team had a better record than last year’s team.  What’s your point?

[UTexasFight 9380]

That we shouldn’t be worried about winning the West like a lot of you clowns are?

[Mez2 4021]

That this year's team has a better record at this point in the season than last year's team did. It's pretty straightforward.

What's your point?

Probably going to try and eat somewhere downtown prior to the game. Pretty open on ideas right now

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Right now I'm not thinking about 1998 or last year. I'm just watching how we play and trying to project how we'll look come the end of September. I'd obviously feel better had we not managed to throw away Sunday's game, but I'm at least encouraged we didn't go down without a rally. Guess we'll soon know if that jolted any life at all into the squad.

Go visit Jim at Buck’s.

My point is we aren’t playing teams from 2017 or 1998.  

[tx 3 putt 76380]

But that run differential !!!!!!!!! 

[UTexasFight 9380]

6-2 over the next 8.

[DaysOff 7853]

We're never winning again.

It seems like you've prepared yourself for what's probably going to happen.

 

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

We will be fine. It's good to have someone up your ass down the stretch, will get the guys more focused and I can assure you they aren't panicking like some of the pussies in here that's for sure.

Again?

[TonyTexas 10482]

Correa isn’t even close to being productive. 4/28 with 11 SO between Corpus and here.

[thetruth 149]

Miss you George. Come back soon please

[thetruth 149]

Do the Stros lead the league in HBP?

[David Dennison 18657]

Does anyone know what percentage of our double plays end the inning?

23 year old scrub will dominate tonight

No, but it’s much higher than the percentage that start an inning. You’re welcome....

[Ldogg53 514]

[Mez2 4021]

We're getting no hit. 

 

Fuck this team

[TonyTexas 10482]

Fuck it. NO HITTER ALERT!!!

[ckhorn 208]

By Verlander, Right.

[ckhorn 208]

We need to start playing small ball. Like the girls softball teams.
