So like I was saying, Chas is pretty darn good

He looks like he really loves playing the game and has some of the "I belong here" swagger that Straw maybe lacks. Whether that translates to him being a productive full time player, I'm not sure. But I enjoy watching him play.


Straw has swagger, basically saying he wanted the boos when playing the Yankees, unfortunately he needs to back up that comment.

Here's why Yuki left.

Get on up! He's the king right now

Straw should be Yuli's cape man.

Good series win vs the Angels. Should have swept but 2 out of 3 will work.

Now let's get the energy right for the 4 game series starting tonight and get on this local legends level

So I didn't finish the game last night and was catching up with the highlights, but I love Todd Kalas' call of a "Kyle Driver" whenever Ted hits a HR. So we have "Air Yordan" the "Kyle Driver" we need a fancy name for whenever Bregs or Altuve hit a HR too

I don't think anyone on here calls it a Kyle Driver. That's just that dude on Twitter. We call them Tucker ****ers. I consider Air Yordan nickname not what his HRs are called.

We are now 9 deep w/ players with >100 wRC+

Gurriel - 182
Alvarez - 180
Bregman - 146
Brantley - 146
Castro - 138
Altuve - 118
Diaz - 111
Correa - 109
Tucker - 108

I would hope Dusty would figure out a way to get these 9 guys most of the PT.

I miss Caveman Gattis
I'll have to find it but Gattis was my oldest's favorite Astro for a while because when he was 7 they had a Little League Day at the park and the kids got to go down in the tunnels, then walk around the field on the track, And when down in the tunnels a couple guys were going to the cages to hit and my kid got a high-five from Gattis and he stopped to take a picture with him.

But now, he wear's 44 because he "wants to hit like a right-handed Yordan."

Can someone teach Dusty how to use Siri?!

Tell him all he has to do is say "Hey Siri, play centerfield" or "Hey Siri, I need a centerfielder" and then it just happens. It's like a technological miracle. But it has to be his voice (thanks for that Crane).

While checking the standings this morning, I came across a few interesting tidbits.

We're 10-6 vs teams >.500. Easily the best record in baseball. Some have more wins, but also more losses. But that also means we have a <.500 record vs <.500 teams.

We also have a +44 RD which is good for 2nd best in baseball behind the White Sox. What they're doing is so remarkable without Luis Robert & Eloy Jimenez. The first place As still have a negative RD.

If the season ended today we would not make the postseason. Good thing we have 125 more to change that.

And for Oakland to start regressing after several years of horseshoe-up-the-ass luck.

Urquidy can be skipped in the rotation since Monday is an off day and that would have been his day to pitch. Odo should be back by the 27th or so this month.

I typically only listen to games on the radio, but just saw the highlight of Tucker's HR last night and I noticed that while I know he doesn't wear batting gloves, he was using a wrap on the handle of his bat. I know he hasn't always used that, so has he been doing that all season? or is that something new that could be the reason for his recent success at the plate?

The Astros were swept by the 2 worst teams in baseball during the COVID attack.

continuing some all-star talk...

Altuve is going to be right in the mix for the all-star team at second base. No one in the AL blowing up at 2B right now.

will be interesting to follow the voting and such

so the Rangers are in town...and boy do they strike out a lot.

not just the usual suspect Gallo (55 K's), but some guy named Nick Lowe has whiffed 43 times and another guy has fanned 40 times (Solak)

Solak (Mr K mentioned above) is probably having the best year at 2nd in the AL.

Gallo has 55 Ks? Someone should track that stat for grins.

Myles Straw is dead last in baseball with 20 hard-hit balls this year. However, he is tied in last with one other player who is heavily linked to Houston but never played for the Astros.

Who is he tied with?

Cavan Biggio

**Qualified players only.**

I'm sure he has plenty of swag with the media and doing little dances/impressions on Bregman's Instagram. He doesn't have it on the field though. Chas does.

Round Rock Express just sent out a message regarding the new face mask recommendations from the CDC...

I know the Astros aren't affiliated with them anymore. Its just the first thing I've seen from MLB regarding the CDC announcement

Good guess, but I don't think he qualifies. You can see the answer when you hover over it.
