with this team it's too much to ask to not swing at pitches over their headsjkag89 said:
Nice double dip.
Is it two much to ask for good ABs at least?
Way too early for that kind of diagnosis.
Heaney dotting the top of the zone
A walk! It's a miracle!
Tucker walks
Abreu needs to hit one out

Man being down 4 of 5 starting pitchers before the All-Star break was not on my season bingo card
I know it's pedantic but three, really. Javier and Brown have been there the whole time.
Rays also have lost Springs, Rasmussen, and didn't have Glasnow for two months. Difference is they hit the ball.
Re: Pena & his sore neck. I wonder if Correa's masseuse is still in the area?
Abreu has so many hard hit outs
Steal tucker here
Great swing from Abreu. Just missed it but another barrel
Double to lead off the 2nd was 104.5mph off the bay and gone in 2/30 parks. That last fly out was 103mph and 398 ft. (homer in 8 of 30 parks)

Heaney's last 5 starts.
Dubon singles
big AB for Yanier

That ball was hit like 400 feet and Tucker didn't even seem to consider tagging when this offense can't find its head from its ass. So that's cool.
Would've scored on that Dubon single. Risky but sometimes maybe show the urgency to push things when you're struggling to score?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Horrible

Yainer with 2 Ks and has swung at every pitch he's seen today

Instead just give that out four Yainer swings later.
Zero plate discipline. Not an ounce of pitch recognition.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
I love it when we talk Diaz up so much and then he does this…. You know Dusty has to be sitting there smug when him and Chas look like that at the plate
In that AB, Diaz swung at only one ball that was in the strike zone...and that one was painted on the corner.
Two strikeouts for Yainer Diaz today with runners in scoring position. He's 5-for-36 with 11 strikeouts with RISP this season.

He's feeling the pressure...he wants to hit a 25 run homer every time
We're so bad with RISP
I'm sure our ace hitting coaches are on top of it.

Thought the same thing. That was either a HR or a flyout. Just lazy base running from Tucker but that's par for the course for him this yearBeau Holder said:

and the shallow batting order makes it worse
he should be hitting 8th -- not 5th or 6th

Abreu flashing the leather today. That's two really nice plays. And, he's hit the ball hard twice.
This has probably been brought up before, but is anyone watching the game on a Comcast feed? The Comcast feed for us appears to be well behind others. ESPN.com and my Yahoo sports app are always 2-3 pitches ahead of what's on the TV. I avoid this thread during innings because TA seems to be a batter ahead of live action. Anybody else have a similar experience with the their cable feed?

He's suddenly the only Astro with a pulse (besides Dubon). Which is ironic, and funny in its own way.
great work from Dubin
Really nice outing for Dubin, all in all
