Charlie is just unfair as our 5th starter. He's got ace of the staff kind of stuff and experience on top of that. Man I hope these guys stay healthy for the most part to see what they can do as a starting staff. 

[elfenix 34751]

MarWIN!

[Rustic Horn 929]

Marwin!!

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

Our boy’s back. MarGone.

I noticed that, too, right after he tried to change directions running from second... 

Anyway, f slorch, marWin hr

[scottonian 36]

Suck that dick, guy who hates Marwin

[maninblack 7975]

Mar-winning!

[TonyTexas 10772]

Slorch’s gentle encouragement paying off.

[ERhine 1938]

Pow.

[tx ind 7057]

Boom!

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

Keep it going, boys. 

[Hook'Em0608 96]

FIsher probably could have passed McCann ha ha

[Jimbaround 987]

Did you guys see that gazelle that was on the field... oh wait, that was Brian McCann.

[tx ind 7057]

McCann rumbling around the bases is definitely worth a chuckle

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

We are good and we should feel good 

[WBT 20979]

Are we leading the league in mound visits against yet?

[Hook'Em0608 96]

Altuve sucks, he can't even keep a .500 average.

this guy gets it.

 

Nobody said cut the motherfucker...  just stop being a bitch.  I'd say he's bounced back quite nicely.

 

Made a huge play to close out an inning and provided his huge strength- versatility in the field- to give Hinch options with the lineup.

 

Probably the game MVP, if not Morton.

 

Go Marwin!!!

 

 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Great play from Bregman.

[elfenix 34751]

Trade him!

[ERhine 1938]

Great defensive play

His value will never be higher. 

[maninblack 7975]

Trade him!

Lolz

To get thrown out.

These announcers are fucking awful.

Apparently

[runthebone 8377]

Is Correa going to be ok?  Fucking work. 

[elfenix 34751]

Is Correa going to be ok?  Fucking work. 

Radio mentioned earlier that he hit a ball off his foot the other day.

Now discussing bartolo colon riding around on a donkey growing up

[Hook'Em0608 96]

Wow, I just watched the ESPN broadcast for a couple innings, our guys are so much better than them. Switching back with prejudice. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Another great play from Bregman.

[Okie State 3889]

Bregman is unfuckinreal.

[runthebone 8377]

Holy shit, 2.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

Something I did nazi coming on Twitter today.

 

 

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

Unbelievable outing by Morton. 

[Hook'Em0608 96]

DK gets a quality start and has our worse outing from our starters. This is fun. 

[TonyTexas 10772]

Unbelievable outing by Morton. 

Our starting rotation is ridiculous. Hell, our backup starters, Peacock and McHugh, would be 3-4 guys on most teams.

I like that they got rid of all the division and wild card flags.  We now only fly actual pennants and championship banners.  The standards have been raised.

So where do they put this years championship banner?  Above the 2017 one on the light pole?

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

MVP!!!! MVP!!!

[WBT 20979]

What's Ichiro's season hits record again?  Altuve is on pace for 324, is that it?

That would annihilate the record. Ichiro's record is 262 hits. 

[softlynow 1894]

Pre-World Championship me: stop talking about our guys being awesome, we’re Houston, we’ll fuck it up. 

New me: fuck it, these guys are fucking good. Talk that game.

Could be good trade bait at the end of the season.  I could see one of them going for a hot prospect or two.

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

Marwin was the shortstop on that play. Wow. 

[TonyTexas 10772]

We are not trading useful big league guys for prospects at this stage. Maybe in a package for a player at a position of need if that need arises.

[Katfid54 9005]

[APMP 688]

What's this about Correa's toe?

Nothing serious right?

I could see a scenario at the trade deadline that some team offers a top prospect for one of them. We continue to build for the future.
