Trout looks bored to ****ing tears.

The PBP guy and Pence aren't bad…it's Katie Nolan that makes me want to punch a puppy.

Sorry, Lee won't hit a HR till Sunday when I'm there. Was there for Pena and JJs first MLB HRs this year.

Just looked it up; they're in Sugar Land. I hope Korey Lee didn't get traffic lag on the way to Minute Maid.

I took my kid to the Space Cowboys game last Saturday. We saw Enoli pitch to Lee. And now we're seeing it again, with the Astros. Pretty cool.

Get Katie to tell this dad joke.
My dad is a circus performer. He's been doing the same act for years and years, and it was at a performance of his that he met my mom. They both tell one story about his circus career. My father's circus act is unique and nigh unbelievable. What he would do is place a walnut on a table just below his knees, whip out his dick, swing it around and use it to crack the walnut. One audience member who saw this when my dad just started out as a young man could not believe it, and left stupefied. Decades later, with my dad in his late 50's and still doing the act, that same man came to see the performance. That time, my dad placed a coconut on the table, whipped out his dick, and split the coconut right in half. After the show, the man, insistent on talking to my dad, found him backstage, shook his hand, and asked: "After all these years, your performance still blows me away. But why have you changed to a coconut instead of a walnut?" My dad just looked at him and said: "Well, my eyesight isn't what it used to be."

Spared Trout from a Sombrero. How very Galloesque.

Wave the flag, you loveable green creature.

From @MLBNetwork research:

Cristian Javier became just the 4th pitcher in #Astros history to strike out at least 13 batters in consecutive games.

The others:

Gerrit Cole (3 straight in 2019)
J.R. Richard (1979)
Don Wilson (1967).#LevelUp

Division lead up to 12.5

The schedule is so messed up. Cleveland has now played 7 less games this season than the Twins. A full week of games.

That sounds good.

Tomorrow might be a good day for Altuve to get a day off

Next time I won't look at Junes schedule.

Forgive me. I've been drinking.

Astros starting pitching in last 11 games (9-2):

71 1/3 innings
31 hits
12 runs

I think this is good right?

Thinking about the future of the rotation and bullpen when Odo then eventually LMJ returns…

Rotation with 7 starters:
-JV
-Framber
-Javier
-Garcia/LMJ (piggyback) - LMJ likely is a 2-3 inning guy this year if he doesn't come back until August
-Odo/Urquidy (piggyback)

Other available arms in the pen:
Abreu
Maton
Montero
Neris
Stanek
Pressly

Brown called up in September and battles for a roster spot in the playoffs in the pen.
