He's missing way too many of his spots. Ugh

[Mez2 4,023]

Tyler white is fat and he sucks. I'm pretty much over him as a MLB player

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Clean it up, fellows. 

[tx 3 putt 76,880]

VERLANDER is off today

2nd start in a row.  It's ok though.  He will work it out 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Hinch gave him a day off before last start and it screwed up the juju.  Last 2 starts have been bad.

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Guess it’s high time to  point out (again) that Springer, Gattis, Reddick, Gonzalez and Marisnick all should be DFAed immediately.

Yep time to rebuild.

[Mez2 4,023]

Hurry the fuck up and get outta tampa. Hoping for a split already.

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Maybe we should also call it “bullpen day.” Since that’s probably where we’re headed with this one. Get him out before his ERA doubles. 

[WBT 20,561]

Gomez walking up to the Spongebob song.  Seems about right

[UTexasFight 9,431]

Astros are exactly .500 since joining the AL at the beginning of 2013.

[Mez2 4,023]

Great at bat Tyler!

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Reddick’s now trying to avoid my “must DFA” list. Which I appreciate. 

[Mez2 4,023]

I hate caring so much about June baseball games but fuck this is so frustrating. Ugh. 

Maybe Im taking this too personal

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Good grief. World Cup teams are outscoring us. 

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Death by a thousand dinks. 

[Mez2 4,023]

On the bright side, we get Blake Snell tomorrow so you gotta like our chances to bounce back

[Stros 153]

Fuck this game, can we please hit the ball soon??!?!?

Bregs!!!

[Scraps 13,561]

Bregman has to be AL player of the week...good lord

[Dr. Teeth 5,844]

Bregman is averaging two HRs for every AB. 

[ckhorn 208]

Looks like TB went out and found any left handed pitcher with a pulse for this series. We need to start treating all lefties like Sale.

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

I’m going to contract Marwin Gonzalez to “win gon.”

[Mez2 4,023]

Holy shit!

Goddammit!!!

Do we seriously not have anyone better than him?

[Limp Brisket 546]

What/when is Tucker's projection to come up?  After the break?

[ckhorn 208]

Five runs in three games is not good. Maybe Hinch needs to throw some bats in the shower today.

We could use a younger player to come up and get hot. Actually we could use a couple of MLB players get hot. Bad timing on Gurriel going on leave. Need someone along with Bregman to step up. How about you George.

Where can you find a live chicken in the Tampa area?

I’m ready to end the Reed/White experiment. Trade them both.

[Hank Chinaski 6,314]

well it would be helpful if the 23-year old SS could go consecutive weeks without getting hurt. 

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Y’all are such a bunch of whiney brats. Enjoy this shit. Yes, we haven’t had everything clicking at the same time all year. And we are still one of the best teams of all time by the numbers.

Stats are for losers,  we're up 2 games with a team that is universally jacked off my all the writers in media and whatnot. We have warts,  sometimes genital warts,  and people citing our run differential or pytahogonorreah number are just falling back on something to spout. Could be a bad stretch or just something that's magnified because we're spoiled. but to say,  definitively, we're okay and good isnt very smart. 

Get the fuck outta Tampa with a split and flush this turd sandwich down. 

Fucking baseball. 

 

[ckhorn 208]

My feelings are somewhere between the two previous posts.

[perfectchaos007 6,627]

We can get a split tomorrow. Maybe our home woes and road dominance is flipping 

[TonyTexas 10,508]

Mez can be a whiny birch sometimes. By any measure, including record, we are one of the top 3 teams in baseball

[Limp Brisket 546]

What's the expected time up for Tucker?

And that's fair, but I call it like I see them

And you can argue in your hierarchy, we're #3

[TonyTexas 10,508]

That hierarchy will ebb and flow. Go back 1 week and tell me where we were. Don’t be such a day trader.

Run differential is a pretty good predictor.  Last season, the Dodgers were #1 in the NL and we were #2 in the AL (and Cleveland's was inflated by having the league's two worst teams in their division).

We're on pace for 105 wins.  Yes, we're pretty good, and the flaws we all see can be worked on over the next 3 months.

I mean, every time we have a 2-game losing streak, some of y'all panic, as if we didn't also recently have a 12-game winning streak.  It's baseball, man.  Cheer up and enjoy year 2 of a very long run of contention for championships.

I keep hearing we haven’t had everything clicking at the same time all year. Will everything be clicking by October? We shall see.

The we're on pace thing is annoying to me. On pace means nothing.

Astros will be in the playoffs. To sum it up, October is the only month that counts.

Springer out. Yuli back.

[Fozzz 152]

Burned one of Cionel's options for apparently no reason.  Weird move unless something is up with Guduan.

I don't know why they keep giving Kemp PAs if they plan on possibly using Tucker in the postseason.
