Discomfort.

[Mo Horn 8841]

Always good to leave Trout in the on deck circle. 

[Rustic Horn 929]

[Mez2 4023]

Throw up a W, throw our dicks down. Pick up a game, flash that

[Gut Wagon 8069]

Nice win. Let’s keep it up. 

[UTexasFight 9446]

[mention=509]henrygandorf[/mention] any more hats?

Yeah if the dust has settled and you still have a decent surplus you want to get rid of, I’ll come back for seconds.

1 more of each.

[UTexasFight 9446]

Palabra !

[tx 3 putt 76957]

The Astros are now 66 - 4 (0.943 Win %) when leading entering the 6th inning!

[DaysOff 7951]

That would indicate a good pen, but we know that's a lie.

[tx 3 putt 76957]

Hinch has 6 weeks to fine tune this machine. All the pieces are there 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

[mention=509]henrygandorf[/mention] any more hats?

I requested one of each color and he said he’s starting a new order after the ones that just shipped.

Any update HG?

[Pimphand 5750]

I just woke up from a dream where a Sooner was getting arrested for shoplifting and I told them that was their native state 😂

We then proceeded to start kicking their teeth in at the cotton bowl. Surely this is a sign

Because the club has an irrational fascination with not allowing the actual good players to play every day, presumably to help limit injuries. Ironically, I can't recall more injuries and time lost on the IL than the team has experienced this year. We kind of act like we've already won the West and home-field. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

I’m beginning to believe Osuna is one of those pitchers that is better if he pitches more often than not.  It seems he is more likely to suck when he’s been off a few days and despite a lot of recent usage his velocity was great last night.

[Planet Houston 4930]

I assume y’all have discussed this...why is Guduan still employed?

http://www.astroscounty.com/2019/08/the-reason-reymin-guduan-was-suspended.html?m=1

Dean Deetz is a little bit of a character, and talks a lot of smack. He was giving Reymin Guduan The Bidness about not being able to throw a strike. Guduan responded by throwing a shoe at Deetz and  missed (badly, apparently), to which Deetz responded "See?" That is legitimately funny. What happened next is not. Guduan picked up a bat, swung it, and hit Deetz in the head. Guduan apparently didn't get a great swing on it, but "it definitely dazed" Deetz.

Guduan was removed from the clubhouse, but came back later, this time with a knife. "He didn't do anything with it, but he stood at his locker and glared at Deetz." No one called the police, but the Astros did suspend Guduan. That, by any standard of the law, is assault. You'll notice on Round Rock's website that Dean Deetz did not pitch between July 26 and August 5, which was a span of eight games in nine days.

Apparently Cole let Osuna know before the game  that he had changed something with his four seamer from earlier in the season. He went back to it last night and results were great.

Yeah I saw this last night.
We’ll see

[runthebone 7982]

Maybe his tip was throw it 97 instead of 93.  Or maybe it was throw it instead of 5 changeups in a row?

[TonyTexas 10512]

I could have told him that throwing his four seamer center-center is not a great approach.

[Scraps 13561]

Correa was scheduled for appearance today...lol...

[runthebone 7982]

It worked pretty great for Biagini

Seriously, not that I want to, but if I’m trying to find a way to take his side... “well, yeah, but................”

I got nothing

Holy shit

[UTexasFight 9446]

On the bright side, it’s good to know one of the team rules is” no hitting teammates upside the head with a Louisville Slugger.”

@elfenix

@Tommy Nobis

@UTexasFight

new order is ready on wed, so i should be able to ship on wed or thurs (last time it wasn't ready til 4:15 on wed so it was tricky).

if you want in on the new order, you 100% have to pm me.  that's how i keep everything straight.

this goes for everyone, and especially if we do a 3rd order.  you can't just pop in on page 436 in the middle of a game and be like, "yeah, put me down for 2."

let's be professional you fucking assholes.

[runthebone 7982]

Not to be a total asshole about it, but the generation 1 hats are the ones that are really coveted

[Jshep34 2308]

Guess only thing he can do is make hostage videos for daniella

This is a good lineup. A little surprised AJ didn’t spazz out with a lefty going for the Angels.

[rvm96 1643]

 

Also, Brandon has been on fire in a hitter friendly league

Got to send a message to Hinch for benching him. Next time it will be your face

[runthebone 7982]

Maybe he can take out the ads on Godzillatron
