Everyone on the planet knew McCormick would offer on a slider away with two strikes.

Why he is still in an Astros uniform, much less batting second, is a mystery. Worth-less.


This. One a few that should never be in the lineup.

I have most of the previous hats from the Bun B collections and love the style everything but the A hat is probably out of my range but I'm also not a new balance rocking cargo shorts and Aggie polo wearing type (not that theirs anything wrong with that)

To me Bun B is presenting Houston a lot like Anthony Bourdain did as a bad ass cosmopolitan super diverse working class city that is stylistically unique with black, whites, Hispanics and Asians all willing to throw down together over good food, cold beer and local music


Love that attitude. I've watch none of the interviews etc I don't listen to his music. Just judging the hats and nothing about those in my view is diversity

Yuli hitting fifth. Let your rage flow
Chaz Fizz hitting second smells like a Golden Sombrero in the making.

Slap Yuli second between Tuve and Bregman for a while to get him some pitches to hit. Be like when Derek Bell could only perform sandwiched between Bidge and Bags.

I don't understand Houston. The city is constantly promoted like it's nothing but the hood. It's pretty damn annoying in my opinion…and despite a "line around the corner" how many folks that are actually Astros fans would buy those trash hats.
That hardcore 49-year-old gang banger Bun B is a villain!


Yeah, I don't know who the guy is and obviously don't listen to his music (he's a musician, right?) but I'll politely disagree with the opinion you quoted.

You would be hard pressed to find someone who cares more about the City of Houston than Bun B. That's for damn sure. Living legend.

It's hip hop. If it's not your thing, fine.

Listening to Bun, he taking about diversity of people yet coming together. Doesn't seem "hood" to me.


I get that and it's not. It's just annoying to me how that is the main face of our City. Hip hop and rap, ugly a*s spinners Paul Wall, that horrible H hand signal etc. Houston's biggest draw of the year is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for goodness sake but the other 11 months of the year is that trash.

To each their own who like it good for them but I just don't see why on a large scale it's pushed so much. Especially for baseball
We seem to be portrayed another way not "hood" or Rodeo.

They'll get to him. Just keep being patient and work the count.

And hope that Good Framber shows up as he has most of the season.

ETA: Ignore the idiot.....

Two guys hitting under .200 and McCormick in the lineup tonight against Ohtani. You would never guess this team is 3.5 games off the best record in baseball by looking at the lineup.

I do believe he's a huge proponent of the city and that is great. But I don't follow any of that so it's not my point. The designs are hideous. And most major marketing of the city is along the lines of "trill OG" Paul wall, spinners, graffiti etc

Houston has three distinct and diverse brands

Rodeo Roughneck Cowboy
Space city
Spinners, Grillz, Swishahouse and screw

That's what's great is you will find all 3 brands at the stadium on any given night.

My greatest Astros memory is being in the Budweiser bar for game 5 with a bunch of folks who probably sold their cars to be there and I **** you not there was
1) a white guy in a a full astronaut suit
2) a Hispanics in full Jose Cruz uniform leading the "Jose Jose Jose" chants
3)a black guy with a big H chain and custom airbrushed Houston Mount Rushmore with DJ screw, Hakeem and altuve on the shirt
4) a wrangler wearing cowboy

All throwing beers in the air for every home run high fiving and hugging

Pena really needs to learn how to spit on some of these sliders off the plate. He's looked an awful lot like Chas thr last few games.
