We know this is the Wizard behind the curtain doing work.

[UTexasFight 9380]

They keep saying 6 on the radio
Get it together guys

A sac fly still counts as an RBI

[WBT 20422]

More Cole Ks or Yuli RBIs today?  Currently tied at 7

[UTexasFight 9380]

Imagine if we had played in the Bronx in April instead of June

Tie? They should both finish in double digits. 😎

How about August?  Or October?

[tx 3 putt 76381]

Correa can glove !

[Wishbone 4738]

Nice grab Carlos!

[Wishbone 4738]

Cole in the easy chair.

[WBT 20422]

Another good game for Cole and he got his 10th K to end his outing.

[Wishbone 4738]

Well, Cole winds up with 10 (assuming he’s done, which he should be). Yuli’s on the clock.

so i know we discussed guys with 10 homers and how we could have 10 or 11.

but i think we're gonna get 7 guys with 20.  not sure how that stacks up to some of our great power teams of the past, but seems impressive.

Astros team totals:

1979 - 49 home runs (Dave Kingman alone had 48 with the Cubs.  Jose Cruz led the Astros with 9.  JR and Andujar were tied in 8th place for the Astros with 2 HRs.)

1981 - 45 home runs (Schmidt led the majors with 31.  Real dead ball era)

Those were the days that when there were back-to-back games each with a HR, by any Astro,  it would be listed in the papers. 

 

 

[runthebone 7932]

Jesus, this team is better than 2017.

[tx 3 putt 76381]

Just a single 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

Weather knocked out MLB Extra Innings not long after Yuli cleared the bases. 

🤬

But you were almost guaranteed at least one triple in every Astrodome game back then.

#7 hitter up 

[WBT 20422]

Correa walks.  Ducks on the pond for Yuli!

[UTexasFight 9380]

#8

[WBT 20422]

Yuli hauling ass to beat it out and tie the team record

[Wishbone 4738]

8!!!!

[tx 3 putt 76381]

Yuli !!!!!!!

[UTexasFight 9380]

Correa walks.  Ducks on the pond for Yuli!

There’s been an entire flock for him today
2 men on in the first
Bases loaded the next 3 PAs

[henrygandorf 29177]

hell of a play by story to keep yuli from 9.

let's see if we can get him up in b8.

another good day for the differential jockeys.

this is not a coincidence.  our 1-6 is historically ridiculous.

I think they practically had a ground rule triple if it was a bit too far to expect the outfielder to run.   

[WBT 20422]

Our 1-7 is pretty good too and our 1-9 isn't bad

[Nice Guy Eddie 13414]

Thinking ahead but I would like to see us take another 10 game win streak this season.  I will go out on a limb to say that we will win today.  We only need to sweep the O's and take the first game from the White Sox to hit 10 in a row for the 3rd time this season.

We're at 44-11 for the homestand

[henrygandorf 29177]

flaherty looks nasty so far today vs gingergaard at chavez ravine.

let's get the bats going.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Throw the curve ball, Biagini! It's his best pitch. He's thrown in twice. 

But I guess a two-seamer for a DP works too.

Garrett Stubbs sighting.  Why hasn't he been sent down yet with Chirinos playing again?
