If Altuve isn’t 100%, keep him out. If he needs season ending surgery, pull the trigger today 

You people are making me sad.

Altuve won't be 100% until 2020. I'm not sure wast kind of knee surgery he had, but it usually takes a full year to recover back to where you were. His hamstring put him on the IL this year.

[runthebone 8376]

Altuve "could be" activated Wednesday.  Of course, Wednesday "could be" the day he's fitted for a peg leg.  It's 50-50 with the Astros.

Well, I just sacrificed my lunch break to ensure I did my part for Crane to afford Springer's extension.  

It's badass.

I live 5 mins from the store, so tempted to go down and grab one

I don't think they specified exactly what ligament was involved in the avulsion fracture of the knee, but here is a video I found that explains what happened.

 

 

[kevwun 16438]

I never knew that's what avulsion meant.  He didn't tear a ligament, but he ripped it off the bone, which doesn't seem much better.  He is a beast for playing through that.

I will have to respectfully disagree after watching this.

 

 

 

 

 

Doubly disturbing that the clip was sponsored by a funeral home. The Tuve’s injury might be far more serious that first feared ...

I too was at ABIA this morning waiting for a flight to Cincinnati...and did not see him.

But I was with the poors and families flying Frontier out of the south terminal.

For his own mental well-being, I’m glad Altuve wasn’t on that flight

Soon

 

(How many surlies are here? And do any of you have a spare bed for one of your own and his idiot cousin who had 1 job)

 

 

 

[DaysOff 8209]

Hit up scraps 

[Scraps 13799]

I got no beds. Already 4 deep with not enough beds for all 4 of us lol

[Scraps 13799]

Forgot to post that after the game last night ol Robert Ford was at the bar across the street getting his drink on.

Pretty sure we all needed one after that shitshow

[Scraps 13799]

Lineup

[tx 3 putt 78677]

Glad we have Jake back 

[TonyTexas 10766]

Glad we have Jake back 

I love Jake as with the occasional start and late inning defensive substitution. But his hitting has crashed down to earth after his hot start. Last 23 games- .178 BA, .583 OPS

[Jshep34 2425]

Cant wait till no longer have to #13 in lineup

What is this electronic lineup card shit?  No wonder we lost.

[tx 3 putt 78677]

Springer playing in CC on Thursday 

joe Smith also on rehab assignment this week 

Edited June 18, 2019 by tx 3 putt

[henrygandorf 29225]

no dh and white is still in the lineup.

dear god make it stop.

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

How shitty must AJ Reed be these days that he could not force White off this team. That cat may as well go sell cars. 

[runthebone 8376]

Well, we can't afford to feed both of them. 

[runthebone 8376]

I know, you'll say let White starve to death.  Cold. 

[henrygandorf 29225]

Jose Altuve (hamstring, knee) will indeed be activated off the injured list Wednesday.

Altuve just finished up a three-game minor league rehab assignment and has already joined up with the Astros in Cincinnati. The star second baseman landed on the IL back on May 10 with a left hamstring strain and then began experiencing discomfort in his surgically-repaired right knee just before he was set to return from that hamstring injury. All is well now, and he should be in Houston's starting lineup Wednesday versus the Reds.

Hinch said Collin McHugh still wants to refine his delivery and pitches and get more efficient, but his arms feels great, "which is his No. 1 priority." He'll pitch again Friday and Saturday at Corpus Christi.

[Scraps 13799]

Shes facetiming her husband

[elfenix 34749]

[UTexasFight 9817]

JV just walked to the bullpen if that means anything.

My uneducated analysis of radar appears to indicate it’s going to go north of us
