csb... JR Richard, Jr. was one of my best friends in high school.  JR Jr and I were two of three players on our HS football team who lived in our subdivision.  The three of us carpooled to school every day for Jr and Sr years of HS and spent Fridays and Saturdays driving around finding parties.  

Before Nolan Ryan came to the Astros, JR Sr was my favorite Astro.  There I was, good friends with one of my baseball hero’s sons. Sr was out of the family picture by the time I knew his sons.  We never once talked about him. Jr never brought his Dad up in conversation, and I never asked. We lost touch immediately after HS.  

/maybe not such a csb

You get a home run, you get a home run, everyone gets a home run.

A group of 5 guys in the dugout comparing home runs for your team is always a good .

Springer, Brantley and Bregman need to get their shit together.

Oh shit, Brandon Backe is going to be in the alumni HR derby.  I hope he wins it then fucks up a Galveston cop to celebrate.

Whoa! Talk about triggering a flashback!

Remember when Seattle was 14-3 and running away with the Division?

[rvm96 1643]

Did Kalas just say "Brantley strikes out to end the inning" while Bregman was the batter?

Yep. Until they turned into “wrong way Corrigan”

Kalas is brain dead half the time. He is going to be brutal in 5 yrs

Well, that’s a head scratcher.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Enjoy the next two months, Colin.  

[WBT 20422]

Good inning for McHugh eventually

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Good inning for McHugh eventually

He’ll probably only pitch in blowouts from here on out.

[Wishbone 4739]

Seat belt light is on.

I lowkey wanna see Greinke pinch hit. I hear he's one of the better hitters among pitchers

If he doesn’t draw a start in Milwaukee later on, you won’t see that until the WS this year.

White is leading off for the Dodgers tonight.

Oh shit, I had to look it up. Thought you were kidding. Roberts is dumb. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Why not replace Machete with Stubbs here? Give him an early night.

[UTexasFight 9380]

Edit: I can’t read

 

Edit edit:

If we stick with him pitching every fifth game, he’ll have the opener of that series on Labor Day.

Anyone use a VPN /unlocator to get around MLB.TV blackouts?

I’ve been having issues the last few days and wondering if it’s something with my router or if MLB.tv got smart

Yeah, we have 2 in Milwaukee Sept 2 and 3, and that’s it until WS (which we will be in, 😁).

[Wishbone 4739]

Blouses! Looking sharp.

I do.  Have been having trouble with amazon for a couple of months.  Images don't always show up on amazon.com.  Someone else here had the same issue and the same thing happened to my parents.  Mlb.tv is still working for me though.  I use unlocator.

I use yondertv. More expensive than a normal vpn, but has been flawless thus far.

The guys have been helping Yordan with his English.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

So it turns out that Jake knocked out Lucroy for only 18 games, but Stassi is the blow that may end his career.

Roberts must have thought this was a slow pitch softball league game. T-Wizzle would definitely be wasting his power in the lead off spot then

I know it breaks up the lefties, but I am more of a fan of Bergman 3 hole and Brantley clean up personally.

I mean we are gonna win the WS regardless, but just my preference

I would swap spots with Correa and Bregman at 3 and 6. Putting Bregman in the 6 spot might piss him off and get him back to his old self. Although Bregman has been coming around lately.
