Just read the Cardinals are waiving Tommy Pham...let's go for the trifecta of trash heap pickups: Gamel, Heyward and Pham to start in the OF til Tucker gets backHarry Dunne said:
Jake is cooked. What CFs are out there on the scrap heap waiting to be picked up? Someone check what Gerald Young is up to.
Dezenzo with the at bat of the game.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Winner. Winner.
Tex-Mex dinner.

The runs were unearned, HB should still get the dub
It weren't purty (other than Diesel's start) but a W is a W!
Pressly with the W!
Stros win. Woot! I'll go see if Coach Prime manages to lay an egg against NDSU.
doesn't look like it's going to happen...Travis Hunter made the first "best catch you will see this year" of the year to put them up 11 with 8 to goHornbeck said:

Yup. Just saw that.
I just really hate the hype train

Geoff Blum: “The Astros are making some chicken salad here in this 8th inning, if you know what I mean.

We need an investigation on the Yordan non home run earlier in the 8th! How did that not go out!
Did we really need Hader out there in the 9th?? I dunno I just feel like this series is gonna be close I think we should've thrown somebody else out there.
He probably will throw 3/4 days, if the games are close.

Fortunately he only threw like 10 pitches

3 runs is a save situation. The Astros need wins. Why chance it when you have the lead?
True true, for some reason I thought 2 runs was a save situation.
72-62
4.0 games back of Wild Card bye (Tribe).
4.0 games lead in AL West (Seamen).
0.5 games back of 3rd Wild Card spot (Twins).

Not hard to imagine the meltdown here if Espada did not use Hader (or even worse not starting the inning with Hader but having to use him anyways because whoever he went with crapped the bed) and the 'Stros lost the game. It might be me watching too much Aggie Baseball, but take the W today if presented and piece together the rest of the series however you can._veeyah_ said:

What the Eff? Astros manager Joe Espada on Alex Bregman getting ejected after disagreeing with umpire Alex Tosi's strike zone: "You saw it, he missed two pitches. And when Alex argues balls and strikes, 99 percent of the time, he’s right." https://t.co/xq4grqx5Xv via @houstonchron

Joe probably gonna get a game off for criticizing the ump

It's ok to tell an umpire that he looks like someone who would copulate with his mother

If Matzek clears waivers do Astros have room?
As long as Breggy didn't call Blue a c*** s***er all should have been good, right? Haven't the new generation of thin skinned umps watched Bull Durham?BadAggie said:

Messed up that everyone can see umps blowing ball and strike calls on the MLB app and it's like dont point out the obvious or you'll be thrown out for criticizing a union employee doing their job poorly
Makes as much sense as the Commissioner of Base-Ball and Apple Pie sending secret notes to his boo, the Yankees to stop doing the naughty things that he punished the Astros and Red Sox for more severely.

Remember how gung ho the league was to put baseball in Florida in the 90s?
The Rays are currently 66-67 still with half a shot at a playoff berth, and they have been outdrawn by 18,000 fans at home this year by the 31-104 White Sox who have played 4 fewer home games.
Miami, 49-85, is almost 3 million fans behind the White Sox at home despite playing 5 more games

The Astros pitching has had one of the best months in MLB history but the hitting and defense has been to the level of a tee ball team pic.twitter.com/cj9PdQ3WLo

That should probably result in a little better than 15-10linkdude said:The Astros pitching has had one of the best months in MLB history but the hitting and defense has been to the level of a tee ball team pic.twitter.com/cj9PdQ3WLo

Players have to be in the organization by 9/1 to be eligible for the postseason. If he clears waivers it'll be after the deadline probably
I've seen funerals more heavily attended than Rays games.
Seriously, going to a game there is such a weird experience as there are so few fans.
In Oakland or the south side of Chicago you might get killed; at Rays you might not see anyone.
Crazy.

So Astros have the pitching
Just need the return of Ted and combination of Gamel, Heyward, maybe a refocused Chas to provide an offensive boost
Peña's defensive slide is also concerning, need keystone defense to be on in the postseason

I think he just muttered "f***ing horrible" under his breath while walking past him that cost him the ejection.
My solution…bring on the robo umps or challenge system. I bet Breggy would get a hand cramp with how many times he patted his head.
So is Bregman out tonight too?
