Thank you

[Mo Horn 8842]

That was an ugly K

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Close this one out 

[Mo Horn 8842]

Bullshit call, but he's had a huge zone all night. Not fair to hitters. 

[elfenix 34240]

Lol

[Mo Horn 8842]

Then he walks pina to get to Chirinos. 

[Mo Horn 8842]

That inning goes to the home plate umpire. 

[Wishbone 4760]

Lulz

[elfenix 34240]

puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooools

[Pimphand 5751]

McHugh must have thought that was 2006 Albert Pujols in the box....

[YChang 3444]

What a play

[Mo Horn 8842]

Flashing leather that inning

Ok, I know Toro has only been up for 3 games and it's really not enough time to evaluate him. And yes others have had slow starts and then become stars. But, the only ball he's squared up was a long foul. Both hits last night were infield hits that were lucky to be hits, and had a lot to do with his speed. IMO, his debut has been meh. I don't think he needs to be sent down, and I think he can be good in the long run. I hope he proves me wrong every bat from now. 

[Gut Wagon 8070]

He'll certainly get his chances.

Ok not enough time to evaluate but then you evaluate.

[Mo Horn 8842]

Yea, let's walk the batter to get to Trout. Not sure that's a good strategy

Edit... but it worked out.

Not enough time to evaluate, but he’s only gotten hits because of his near-elite speed. And they say speed is slump proof, but he is terrible. 

[runthebone 7982]

Got lucky on that pitch

[Planet Houston 4930]

Astros Win!!!

[elfenix 34240]

astros win!

[TonyTexas 10513]

Nice, comfortable win. Surly bitching was somewhat minimized.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Keep racking up W’s 

[Mo Horn 8842]

Nice to take the first 2 of the series. 6 of the last 7 if I'm not mistaken. 

[Gut Wagon 8070]

Guess A.J. didn't know I was just kidding about letting Harris close. Wonder if he'll try it again.

[henrygandorf 29191]

stros win, yankees lose, life is good.

And this.

[UTexasFight 9450]

Yankees taking 2 of 3 and a sweep of the Angels would be a perfect players weekend

 

 

Edit: that’d put us tied with NYY and 1 back of LAD

 

As it is:

LAD —

NYY +2.0

HOU +3.0

 

 

So far, so good

Right now tied with NYY, 2 back of the Dodgers

I owe 100 grand to a fat ass loan shark which I spent on a stripper named Molly Mounds.

[kevwun 15788]

Bagwell making fun of Yuli should be a Netflix special.  I learned tonight that Yuli is 52 years old.

[Mez2 4023]

He beat joe Louis' ass

[RoundRobin 828]

I’m sick of watching Ohtani’s helmet fall off. They should make that fucker wear a chin strap.

I mean if a guy isn't batting .500 after his first 3 games, he should probably be dfa'd.

Just shut up man. Jesus.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

They need to retire ‘players weekend’ / jersey money grab, these uniforms are hideous 

[UTexasFight 9450]

You may be right with the white version of this year’s... or at least don’t make the managers/coaches wear it

Seeing 60+ yo white dudes in those white hats is ridiculous

[Scraps 13561]

I dont really care if they are out there wearing borat thongs and trucker hats as long as they keep winning

[TonyTexas 10513]

Cy has been racking up frequent flyer miles lately.

[TonyTexas 10513]

Not loving the bottom of this lineup.

[TexArcher 37774]

Maybe the Yankees and Dodgers will brawl today and a bunch of key guys on each team will get suspended and they'll both lose every game for a week.  A boy can dream.

AJ is playing lineup Jenga.  If I take this guy out, do we lose?  No?  OK, then I'll take this guy out.
