I was pretty happy with what I saw offensively yesterday from us. If a couple of those singles found a gap it's a different outcome.

The free bases were the biggest concern to me
This, and just overall Framber. He goes downhill quickly when the first "bad" thing happens or he gets squeezed by blue. Yesterday, blue refused to give him the bottom of the zone - and for Framber that means he will not have a good day. He lives down there.


This in combination with the jankees taking tough pitches he felt like they should have offered at really seemed to work him up. Oh Framber.

Didn't see it posted. They put up and ump score last night? Was at the game so it was hard to tell whether a lot of those close calls were bad.

It was quite bad.
Actually it wasn't. He missed 11 calls but had an xIC score of 10.5 on 173 pitches. His accuracy was 93.6% and his expected runs affect was -0.02. That's a neutral a score as you can get.

From an ump scoreboard standpoint he was good. Not saying he was good, but his scorecard doesn't show he was bad.

Hold up, Farmer is a soulless ginger? That explains so much.

Freddy Peralta vs Jose Quintana is not a first-game matchup one expects to see.

Strider-Wheeler isn't until 2.

Wow. That thread is greatness. I grew up in Houston (spring woods and Jersey Village) and my grandparents lived for 40 years almost across the street from Spring Branch HS. But I rarely look at the Houston board. Maybe I should. I never realized everyone else in Houston was obsessed with showing how pretentious they were with owning 27 watches they change every day. And now I feel poor.

it was interesting yesterday...the Astros had 13 hits, but most of them were up the middle or to the opposite field...which is fine...but it limits power. And the Yankees were happy with the tradeoff

(besides Jake's home run and Yordan's & Tucker's 9th inning singles)

ETA. My wrist is Neanderthal compared to that soulless ginger one. My only real watch is like a cheap discount compared to all those big spenders.

I'm calling bull**** on that. Namely the part about only 1 of 115 called balls which were actually "true strikes." Framber had at least a half-dozen clear strikes that were called balls. Way more strikes called balls than balls called strikes.

Yeah, let's be honest, Framber should have been tagged for 7 or 8, giving up 11 baserunners in 4.2/3 innings.

13 hits including an HR should win you 75% of your games with your #1 pitcher on the mound. Framber better get his crap together
Dumbass Chandler Rome questioning Espada "yanking his starter before finishing the 5th.

Rome is such a tool - you know he watched the game and doesn't actually believe this.

Is there anyone who takes part in PrizePicks? Thinking about a daily "best bet" for the Astros games. For instance today: Rodon/Javier first inning runs O/U .5 with Alvarez Hits+RBI+Runs O/U 1.5 for the game. Leaning over for both.

Less than ideal outcome but thank you Fro!! We love ya. Very grateful. TA Stros thread is out here regardless.


I'm telling my kids this was JP France, Lance Berkman, Ryne Stanek and Jose Altuve


Did y'all call each other by your screen names?


Do any of us even have real names?


Yes

Very cool looking watch. Sadly I'm reliant on my Apple Watch at this point

What's all the numbers around the edge? And what does a piece like that run?

I don't care if Jake hit a HR, he has a decent history of being poor vs RHP while Singleton is more likely to reach base to get Altuve up.



You watch your mouth and put some respect on his name! That's the current HR leader in the clubhouse and leading team MVP candidate

It's a tachymeter which isn't really useful in everyday life. Its measures elapsed time to a rate. This model is known as the moonwatch. It's what the astronauts took to space back in the early 60s and then eventually to the moon. My watch is one of many limited edition models that have produced over the years. Generally an Omega Speedmaster professional runs about 7k.

Unless you have an appreciation of mechanical movements / watch history or just want attention there's no reason drop serious money on a watch. An Apple Watch is way more practical and functional.

That being said, we need to have a TA meeting at the ballpark.

I'd hate to know what else someone would call me if not that.
