I know how this game's gonna happen end. Sigh. 

Yeah in another astros win

tied in t7 with sale out = i'm happy.

springer left with injury = not so much.

[Scraps 13561]

Out

[Mo Horn 8848]

Brantley looked like he gave up on that

[henrygandorf 29191]

glad to see we're getting our dp numbers back up.  

[kevwun 15790]

Springer started overswinging a couple of games ago.  I remember twice in one game where he swung so hard he went down to a knee.  That's usually a pretty good clue he's heading for a slump.

[Scraps 13561]

He got hurt first AB on Friday

 

He swung out of his shoes then grabbed his back

 

I'm actually shocked Hinch had been playing him since he seems so overprotective

Is a .411 batting average any good? 

[Scraps 13561]

Shit what a clusterfuck

[cabowabo 4487]

Good grief Yuli.

 Out 

[WBT 20580]

Alright, seriously we can't have Yuli and White together on the right side.  They said in the Chronicle that Bregman volunteered to play 2nd...he and Yuli need to flip.  Like right now, mid game.

We might want to bring up a 2b. I don’t know who that would be. Wouldn’t want to be a 2b in the Astros farm system. 

[Rimbo 25944]

sigh

[Mo Horn 8848]

They don't deserve to win this game. Doing everything they can to piss it away

[WBT 20580]

I'm not buying Kalas trying to sell that Chavis wouldn't have scored on that.  Especially when the throw in missed the cutoff and rolled into the infield.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Going have to dig deep to win this one 

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

This question has probably been asked and answered several times, but if I am a cord cutter, is there any way to stream Astros games blacked out in Austin on MLBTV or elsewhere without some nonsense with my IP address?   

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Reddit

[WBT 20580]

no

[Honeysucklerose 990]

I freaking can’t stand white.

[Scraps 13561]

White....this would be a great time for your first hr

[Mo Horn 8848]

Might as well just DFA White and bring up Tucker. Tucker is sucking in AAA, but might as well let him do it with the big club

[kevwun 15790]

You can't use mlb.tv in Texas without hiding your location.  There are some really easy ways to do it.  Just make sure whichever one you pick works with your router. Some of the whole home systems don't let you change your DNS settings or make other changes you might have to make.

[Mo Horn 8848]

Longhorn or not, time to do to Workman what we did in the ALCS last year.

reddit was an absolute savior last year.  it's easy and great and i either watched on my laptop or plugged my laptop into my tv.

i got mlb.tv this season because only because i added roku (i'm out of area though).

[runthebone 7989]

That is shitty news about Springer.  

[Scraps 13561]

Ok Is Kempin Easy?

 

 

[RoundRobin 828]

Booo

[Scraps 13561]

Apparently so

[UTexasFight 9454]

Oh well
Let’s start another 10 gamer tomorrow

Just get a VPN.

[kevwun 15790]

Jake can't lay off a low and away breaking ball to save his life.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Shit game

[runthebone 7989]

Kemp's .678 OPS  looks like Ruth compared to White's .612. 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Yuli sucked in that one defensively

[elfenix 34266]

still enough games to have 3 10 game win streaks before june 1

[Mo Horn 8848]

To stop a 10 game win streak it took playing shitty defense, losing one of your leading hitters to an injury, bad approaches at the plate by several hitters. 

[WBT 20580]

That 11th win is tricky.  A 5-1 road trip and series win at Fenway is still pretty, pretty good.

[perfectchaos007 6655]

Winning all the time isn't good for the kids

Sale was not sharp today and we had chances to get more runs really. Their relievers were spot on and shut us down.

Sale walked 5 today.

That's about 5 games worth.

 

Halfassed swings when you know the pitcher is bringing it did not help.

[Chicken fried bacon 46]

If anyone gets called up I think it will be Straw.  Don’t think they will  all up Alvarez until after June 1.   

[tx 3 putt 76980]

I’ll take a 5-1 road trip all day long and twice on Sunday 

[InkaUtexas 25951]

Good series win guys. Damn the Astros look great this year. 

Now please beat the crap out of the Yankees and Tampa as well. 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

springer and diaz both need to go on the 10 day dl if it means having them healthy in oct

we can make due until then

Yuli played those popups the way Jake attacked those breaking balls: indecisively and ineffectively. Shake it off and start another streak. 

 

 

[HtownHorn 14690]

De Goti, Mayfield, and Tanielu all can play multiple IF positions. None are on the 40, but the Astros have an extra spot open.

All 3 bat RH, with a .846 OPS for De Goti, .896 for Mayfield, and .736 for Tanielu.

Guess you bring up one of those guys and Fisher.
