you would think.

but i'm ok with aledmys at 2nd, keeping yuli at 1b, and having kemp over white in the dh rotation.  or popping him into the of and having uncle mike dh.

lots of flexibility even with tuve out.

blacktuve has an interesting ring to it.

Interesting. Whatever keeps Kemp in the 9 hole I'm cool with. 

[billfromlaketravis 11,870]

Luhnow should have dealt Tucker, but thank goodness he didn't trade Bregs.

Combined score of the series is now 28-7.

 

[Mo Horn 8,939]

This is one scary team. They are loaded... and that's not counting what they have in the minors. They need to be sellers at the trade deadline because they I'm not sure what they'd add. 

[Mez2 4,048]

Blacktuve needs to continue to play sparingly and in select spots. If he was an everyday player,  he would be

Another good starter with hopefully Alvarez giving them something at DH and they will be set for the playoffs.

it's really the perfect scenario - much like last year.  go find the next pressly.

personnel wasn't the issue last year, it was health.

Mez wants more T White

[billfromlaketravis 11,870]

Random question, other than the World Series, when is the next time the Cardinals come to town? I know the Stros play them this season, but it's in St. Louis. 

I miss playing the Cards and their fans. Great people. Very knowledgeable and laid back.

Should be every 6 yrs, but somehow we are playing the cubs at home this go round and last go round as well. So who knows

Fucking lame. Let him get the QS

[kevwun 16,449]

I imagine he is on an innings/pitches limit.  Rather pull him from games like this early so he's available later in the year when they need it if he keeps this up.

May have found another starter today. A solid DH is really the only thing I can think of.

By more T White, I hope you mean "he should commit seppuku "

Him being the 3rd starter is probably not realistic just yet and he may be up against a pitch limit by that point where they don't want him starting games anymore.

[cabowabo 4,692]

Hinch  might as well put in Devinski. 

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

McHugh knew that run would go against Martin so he didn't try /s

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Fucking Colin. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,918]

McHugh may be earning a trade to Baltimore ... he’ll fit right in. 

[Scraps 13,812]

The Rangers are horribad

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Sucks that run goes on Martin's line. With a runner on first and one out, there's only a 12% chance of scoring a run in the inning. 

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

The Mariners crashed early this year.

[TexArcher 39,078]

The Rangers are so bad.  That 17-17 record was such a freaking mirage.  This team should lose at least 95.

[Scraps 13,812]

This sweep is so sweet

They peaked after their second game of the year

[Scraps 13,812]

Lol springer is out of control

[UTexasFight 9,819]

My god
He found the launch angle again

[TexArcher 39,078]

George finally got his launch angle right!  

That'll salvage something from today's game.  Good for him.

[elfenix 34,782]

George is getting angry

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Run Diff boiz assemble!

[UTexasFight 9,819]

It’s like Hinch knows what he’s doing benching Springer and putting him at DH so often in the early going

Soooo.... slump over for Springer.

George Springer > Mike Trout

Prove me wrong

Welllllll....Im waiting.gif

[Cooder 37]

Damn shame Houston is wasting Springer’s power in the leadoff spot

[UTexasFight 9,819]

This is how you handle riff raff

Was looking forward to this stretch after everyone was bitching by *only* going .500 the week and half at the end of April against Minn and Cle

Need to get George back around for a chance to get a 6th hit
Just over a year ago since he did it last year

[Horn80 6,361]

Holy cow.  Springer must be having a career day.  A deadman could being calling this game with more excitement than these announcers.

Neg worthy.

[UTexasFight 9,819]

George was below .300 at 1:05

At 3:30, he’s at .321

[gecko 1,104]

I thought there was a 12 run rule

[UDontKnow 10,572]

The Astros should save some of these runs for the next couple of series. Just in case!

as a kid, i could never keep my seasons straight, but is it at all possible that this is indeed the summer of george?

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

McHugh still trash

[UTexasFight 9,819]

Our leadoff hitter is one back of Bellinger for MLB lead in RBIs
