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 34171]

MarWIN!

[Rustic Horn 929]

Marwin!!

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

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 7974]

Mar-winning!

[TonyTexas 10482]

Slorch’s gentle encouragement paying off.

[ERhine 1894]

Pow.

[tx ind 6999]

Boom!

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

Keep it going, boys. 

[Hook'Em0608 96]

FIsher probably could have passed McCann ha ha

[Jimbaround 973]

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

[tx ind 6999]

McCann rumbling around the bases is definitely worth a chuckle

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

We are good and we should feel good 

[WBT 20419]

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 2759]

Great play from Bregman.

[elfenix 34171]

Trade him!

[ERhine 1894]

Great defensive play

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

His value will never be higher. 

[maninblack 7974]

Trade him!

Lolz

To get thrown out.

These announcers are fucking awful.

Apparently

[runthebone 7932]

Is Correa going to be ok?  Fucking work. 

[elfenix 34171]

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 2759]

Another great play from Bregman.

[Okie State 3788]

Bregman is unfuckinreal.

[runthebone 7932]

Holy shit, 2.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23356]

Something I did nazi coming on Twitter today.

 

 

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

Unbelievable outing by Morton. 

[Hook'Em0608 96]

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

[TonyTexas 10482]

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 5832]

MVP!!!! MVP!!!

[WBT 20419]

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 1783]

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 5832]

Marwin was the shortstop on that play. Wow. 

[TonyTexas 10482]

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 8591]

[APMP 685]

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.
