So this team this season has had a no hitter, 2 triples in an inning, 3 homers in 3 innings by same player, 9-1 hitters hit back to back, hit for the cycle, several 4 hit games , what else am I missing? That's pretty good.

---

4 HR in 4 innings

9-1 hitters back to back twice in same game right?

Ballgame. Finally cracked 20 over .500 and put another game on Seattle.

Take care of business against the AAAs.

This did not receive enough stars. Dig me some b&w photography, just pure, raw and emotional.
And tits. Tits always help.

With football season still 51ish weeks away, this is all I got (sports wise)

Nice of the Aggies to end our preseason football hopes before the mlb playoffs . It makes scheduling much easier.

Truly happy the Aggies didn't mess with my hopes too far into the season. Now it's full concentration on Astros and can track the Ags from afar...

Most fun game I've been to this season, even up in the cheap seats.

Lineup of death turned out exactly the offense we've been yelling for all year. Finally it all came together.

Lineup of death puts up 12 runs can't have that again

Puts up 12 runs in 6 innings. Can't even go a full game

The Week Ahead

Astros (82-62)
3 v A's
3 @ Royals

Mariners (79-64)
3 v Angels
3 v Dodgers

Rangers (78-64)
4 @ Blue Jays

Toronto can crush Rangerette hopes and dreams this week.

According to Elias, not only is Kyle Tucker is the first Astros player in history to triple twice in one inning, but it's the 11th time it's happened in MLB history, so about twice as rare as a perfect game.

That's probably a record that is safe from ever being broken.

He should start talking **** to Altuve, and maybe he will do something never seen before in the history if the sport.

Kind of a win/win...either the rangerettes lose or they still have hope and play Seattle tougher rather than just a spoiler.

Really curious what our playoff rotation would be.

JV
Framber
France?
Javier?

Brown to the bullpen for long relief along with Urquidy? SP is definitely our weakest link after the top 2. France has done really well this season but you wonder how he'd do come playoffs.

Javier is looking more and more like his issues won't be fixed this season.

Luckily you can get by in the playoffs with less starters so this isn't totally disastrous, but we really need to maximize those JV/Framber games which is why it's awful that Dusty never has Diaz catch with them.

---

Has anyone asked him why Diaz hasn't caught either one of them yet for some familiarity for the playoffs? He has to know Maldy could get injured or is that just fan stuff?

It really is a brutal fact that our two best pitchers require our worst offensive and defensive player to play.

Apparently it's only fine for Maldy to get used to working with Brown/France, but Diaz role just continues to diminish DESPITE him throwing runners out more, less runs being scored in his games, better pitch framing, and we all know the massively better hitting.

I just don't get it. Nothing I have seen tells me Diaz is below Maldy when it comes to the act of being a catcher. Dusty plays him so sparingly that he must believe he's some major liability waiting to happen behind the plate. It hasn't happened.

Now that Maldy has been exposed by the Padres I fully expect more teams to run like crazy on him until he can prove he can throw them out...it's like the NFL, once they find a weakness it will be exploited over and over until you fix it.

Normally I would expect a manager to take action to ensure it doesn't cost us down the road, especially in the playoffs, but....sigh.

Also, if Maldy has such a great rapport with pitchers why isn't he telling them to hold runners better so he has a chance to throw them out...at least that's the excuse Donkey is giving, it's the pitcher's fault (which can be true but doesn't explain why Diaz is throwing them out at a nice clip).

If Maldy catches Brown in the postseason I'm going to throw my remote thru the TV.

Also put another game back between the Stros and Twins for the 2 seed today.

ive been extremely confident in the AL West winner being the 2 seed for most of the season.

Don't think Framber gets to trump marketing.

Kyle Tucker had ZERO triples this season before todays game.
