So not sure how today tops yesterday, but since it is "homer run derby" day my prediction is we will have multiple hitters hit 2+ homers today.

I'll throw out Yordan and Bregman as the guys to do it

I definitely think we should keep Stubbs up and let him learn everything and anything from our two veteran catches. 

[Scraps 13542]

Bogusevic has more homers today than he did in his career

[tx 3 putt 76403]

This hr derby wasn’t a bad watch

That’s not happening. No way you waste one of your 3 bench spots on a 3rd catcher. You sometimes see it on a playoff roster only because you don’t carry as many pitchers

Yes...got it at Union Station store

That McHugh bobble head dodging the hit pitch should be a good one to collect.

[Mo Horn 8807]

I'm watching MLB network and they're talking about the no hitter last night. They had an audio clip from someone - not sure if it was a reporter or someone from another team - but the quote was,  "When the Astros call you about one of your pitchers, you hang up the phone and change your number."  

[UTexasFight 9380]

The mariners may never get a hit against us again

What are we at? 13 innings now?

Is it true that there is no way to see the Astros in Austin except on AT&T and DirectTV

14. They singled in the 6th in Friday night. 

[tx 3 putt 76403]

Longest inning ever

VPN and MLB.tv stream

[Scraps 13542]

Weak sauce

[Wishbone 4739]

Is that inning over yet?

[Scraps 13542]

Hey look the Ms are no hitting us

[henrygandorf 29179]

i feel like the whole "opener" thing really works well against us.

we're turning milone into tom fucking  glavine.  again.

[UTexasFight 9380]

I feel like this is Strom today... or it totally would have been him last night if his procedure has been a day earlier

[Mo Horn 8807]

So it took an infield hit

[tx 3 putt 76403]

Just a double 

[Mo Horn 8807]

Damn, yordan is a big league hitter

So, if Uncle Mike is a Professional Hitter, Yordan is ____________________________ ?

I just saw the replay on that. I didn’t think twice about the call, but I swear, the replay looked like he was never tagged. 

[Mo Horn 8807]

Wasted chance that inning to put multiple runs on the board.

It was a 7-5 force.

Bregman was going on contact. Alvarez should have known and been moving to 3B as soon as Seager charged to field Correa’s dribbler. He didn’t.

Good baserunning isn’t predicated on speed. It’s being aware of the situation and knowing that the guy in front of you is going on contact. 

Had been on 3B .. like he should have .. he would have scored on Yulu’s bloop rather than being forced at 3B.

He would've been thrown out at 3rd. He's not that fast and Crawford was covering 3rd.

[Honeysucklerose 959]

They don't seem very motivated today

Yep, it was just bad luck.

Reddick is closing in on Tyler White level OPS.

I am ready for Sept so that Tucker takes some of his ABs. Hell I hope Tucker destroys and takes his playoff roster spot.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Yep. Not surprised they’re flat today. Lots of excitement over the past few days.

If he’s moving on contact, I don’t see any way Seager fields the ball, looks to home and first .. which he did .. and still do a 180 to Crawford in time to get Alvarez. 

[Scraps 13542]

Ruh roh

[Wishbone 4739]

Oh fuck!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

He won’t get any faster after that ...

[tx 3 putt 76403]

He’s in pain
