As far as tonight goes we need to get 6 IP from ZG and Javier.

Whether it's 2/4, 3/3, 4/2 whatever. We have to have it.

And they may be available but it would be clutch to not use Framber or Garcia.

I'd take 4 if you offered right now

Astros pitching coach Brent Strom is concerned his guys might be tipping their pitches: “We noticed some things, the swings they take on certain pitches that raise our suspicions. It’s all perfectly legal on their part..Perhaps there’s some tells in there.” @Ken_Rosenthal had 1st pic.twitter.com/THsAixurzm

All the more reason for super quick hooks

Don't worry fellas, I'm not turning the game on for a second tonight. There's hope for us yet.

Good point. Very possible. Although I guess the counter would be that a few of our relievers have done just fine in the series so far. But agree that we need to be watching him close tonight.

In 2019, I didn't post on Texags for Game's 3, 4, and 5, and we won all three of those after getting bludgeoned in games 1 and 2. Therefore, in an effort to recapture that luck, I will not post again for a while. Let's see if it's worth it.

Braves storm past the Dodgers

3-2 lead in the 4th, still batting

What if it's something with Maldy that is tipping? It doesn't feel like we should have 3 pitchers on consecutive nights in a row tipping pitches.

More of a reason to mix it up and go with Castro

Let’s get it done. #ForTheH

Tucker will continue hitting the cover off the ball with no one on base

Uh ..the guy literally hit a 3-run homer LAST NIGHT.

Can you explain how you can hit a 3 run homer with no one on base.

---

have you ever tried not taking things literally?

---

Maybe try making points that actually make sense?

Sorry, but the bleeding going on after the lineup was released was just pathetic. I actually looked it over like 10 times to see what I was missing, because , apparently, "it was maddening".

Just a week ago, we called that exact same lineup "The lineup of death" and now Dusty is an idiot for rolling it out there..

Never change, Texags.

Not to mention that it's obvious to anyone with eyes that the issue is pitching and not the lineup.

Just another excuse to complain about Dusty.

It just gets old. Very old, Almost as old as Dusty...

---

If you don't understand the point I was making, maybe baseball isn't the sport you should be following.

---

OR, and hear me out here...you made an uninformed comment with no basis?

Shall we go through the three games in the series so far?

GAME 1: Tucker goes 0 for 4.

GAME 2: Tucker goes 2 for 4. In the 4th, he hits a double with Yordan and Correa on base. In the 6th, he singles with Yordan on base. Does that support your original statement?

GAME 3: Tucker goes 1 for 2. He homers in the 4th with Brantley and Yordan on. Does that support your original statement?

So, you said, "Tucker will continue hitting the cover off the ball with no one on base" when, in fact, he does not have a single hit with no one on base in this series.

So, see, I understand exactly the point you were making. Your point just didn't make sense and those stubborn facts actually tell us, if anything, the opposite is true.

Word on the street is ZG sweet spot will be around 50-55 pitches.

That could get him into the 4th inning if true

I feel like this dude is ready tonight. Let's reset this sucker at 2-2 and take it at home.

Let's get this dub tonight and ensure that we go back to Houston. Whatever it takes.

We win then we only get rally fatties for the duration of the playoffs. Ok, I'll take it.

Gotta turn these bats loose. Let's go!!!

Hope the astros give me a good bday present

Happy B-Day!

I think getting any sort of lead early would do wonders mentally for this team

Haven't had a lead since the final of game 1

Back to the basics from 2019. Let's. Go.

What an early run would mean. Come on guys, wake up.

Greinke better get that call

Terrible

Swinging at ball 4

Hasn't thrown a single strike yet and 2 outs. Wonderful start
