you would think.

but i'm ok with aledmys at 2nd, keeping yuli at 1b, and having kemp over white in the dh rotation.  or popping him into the of and having uncle mike dh.

lots of flexibility even with tuve out.

blacktuve has an interesting ring to it.

Interesting. Whatever keeps Kemp in the 9 hole I'm cool with. 

[billfromlaketravis 11786]

Luhnow should have dealt Tucker, but thank goodness he didn't trade Bregs.

Combined score of the series is now 28-7.

 

[Mo Horn 8933]

This is one scary team. They are loaded... and that's not counting what they have in the minors. They need to be sellers at the trade deadline because they I'm not sure what they'd add. 

[Mez2 4041]

Blacktuve needs to continue to play sparingly and in select spots. If he was an everyday player,  he would be

Another good starter with hopefully Alvarez giving them something at DH and they will be set for the playoffs.

it's really the perfect scenario - much like last year.  go find the next pressly.

personnel wasn't the issue last year, it was health.

[Scraps 13751]

Mez wants more T White

[billfromlaketravis 11786]

Random question, other than the World Series, when is the next time the Cardinals come to town? I know the Stros play them this season, but it's in St. Louis. 

I miss playing the Cards and their fans. Great people. Very knowledgeable and laid back.

Should be every 6 yrs, but somehow we are playing the cubs at home this go round and last go round as well. So who knows

Fucking lame. Let him get the QS

[kevwun 16322]

I imagine he is on an innings/pitches limit.  Rather pull him from games like this early so he's available later in the year when they need it if he keeps this up.

May have found another starter today. A solid DH is really the only thing I can think of.

By more T White, I hope you mean "he should commit seppuku "

Him being the 3rd starter is probably not realistic just yet and he may be up against a pitch limit by that point where they don't want him starting games anymore.

[cabowabo 4646]

Hinch  might as well put in Devinski. 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

McHugh knew that run would go against Martin so he didn't try /s

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fucking Colin. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4878]

McHugh may be earning a trade to Baltimore ... he’ll fit right in. 

[Scraps 13751]

The Rangers are horribad

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Sucks that run goes on Martin's line. With a runner on first and one out, there's only a 12% chance of scoring a run in the inning. 

[SimonBolivar 11040]

The Mariners crashed early this year.

[TexArcher 38828]

The Rangers are so bad.  That 17-17 record was such a freaking mirage.  This team should lose at least 95.

[Scraps 13751]

This sweep is so sweet

They peaked after their second game of the year

[Scraps 13751]

Lol springer is out of control

[UTexasFight 9790]

My god
He found the launch angle again

[TexArcher 38828]

George finally got his launch angle right!  

That'll salvage something from today's game.  Good for him.

[elfenix 34662]

George is getting angry

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Run Diff boiz assemble!

[UTexasFight 9790]

It’s like Hinch knows what he’s doing benching Springer and putting him at DH so often in the early going

Soooo.... slump over for Springer.

George Springer > Mike Trout

Prove me wrong

Welllllll....Im waiting.gif

[Cooder 37]

Damn shame Houston is wasting Springer’s power in the leadoff spot

[UTexasFight 9790]

This is how you handle riff raff

Was looking forward to this stretch after everyone was bitching by *only* going .500 the week and half at the end of April against Minn and Cle

Need to get George back around for a chance to get a 6th hit
Just over a year ago since he did it last year

[Horn80 6313]

Holy cow.  Springer must be having a career day.  A deadman could being calling this game with more excitement than these announcers.

Neg worthy.

[UTexasFight 9790]

George was below .300 at 1:05

At 3:30, he’s at .321

[gecko 1104]

I thought there was a 12 run rule

[UDontKnow 10559]

The Astros should save some of these runs for the next couple of series. Just in case!

as a kid, i could never keep my seasons straight, but is it at all possible that this is indeed the summer of george?

[perfectchaos007 6766]

McHugh still trash

[UTexasFight 9790]

Our leadoff hitter is one back of Bellinger for MLB lead in RBIs
