X-rays on Alex Bregman’s hand were negative, he said. Spencer Arrighetti said he’s doing fine and expects to make his next start on time, but he said he wasn’t able to get a ton of velocity behind the ball while trying to pitch with the calf contusion in the third inning

Damnit Oakland, got the tying run on base and the winning run to the plate…
Couldn't close it

There's a long thread on ENT about it. I'm too biased to take my opinion seriously

Mariners closer Munoz got rolled up on a wild pitch play at the plate and left the game immediately after attempting one warm-up pitch. Something to watch.
Rooker is up with two on, am I way behind? Edit: well, he grounded out on ball four with the winning run on 1st. Smh.
Good on you I guess. I gave up during mandolorian. Never watched the last season, any of Asoka or even considered this new show.
Sorry, I'm done.

Thanks, I can sleep now, knowing that you're not watching a show that has nothing to do with the Astros.Lonestar_Ag09 said:

Do you remember who we played? Was it UH?
Would have had to been during baseball season. Who else did we play in the Dome?
The Astros and Phillies had played an extra inning playoff game earlier that day/evening and the Aggies played Cougar High in a football game afterwards.
After the baseball game finally ended the Astrodome had to be reconfigured to a football field. If I remember correctly kickoff didn't take place brilliant around midnight. I was at that game and remember getting home about 4:00 am. The Ags were out scored.
Don't look now but as crappy as the first 2 months have been, Astros are 1.5 games behind Arlington.

They suck too
If we don't catch Seattle, we're not sniffing the playoffs
The AL west is the AL central of the last 6 years
So Chas is 2-23 since his return. Yikes
I'm starting to get bullish on Spencer Arrighetti even though he has quite a wide range of outcomes.
I think he could be a legitimate #2 starter in the league but he could also be a fringe #5. It comes down to one thing for him. Control. And I think that will come with time.
The organization completely revamped everything about his mechanics when he was drafted and it's paying off. Once he gets more and more comfortable, I think the walks will come down and he'll start to look like a legitimate starter in this league.
Nothing is guaranteed but I'm getting more optimistic every time I watch him.

Businessman's special today. Gonna cut out early and watch Ron White break out the broom.
Yeah, I'm very tempted to take a half day off and walk over around noon...
Its been ugly, but I find it hard to believe he just lost it all of a sudden. Problem is it is hard to justify him in the lineup to try and turn it around when Meyers is balling. Id rather go Yordan-Meyers-Tucker any day. OR bring back Joey Cooks and let Yordan DH. Thats your best outfield right now.tjack16 said:

If I didn't take a day last week I probably would. Still catching up. Soon though.

Fan gets in the way of what could’ve been a spectacular catch by @Mauriciodubon10 on what turned into a home run by Nolan Gorman pic.twitter.com/pIHUbnSyt6

That fan is lucky Pressly didn't blow it last night
I'm happy about the last 2. Yordan, Breggy, & Yainer are all getting hot in time to handle the decline of Jake, Pena, & Tucker (injury). Everyone is going to fluctuate up and down all season long.
But I worry about the rotation for a full 162 and just how good we can be in a 7 game series. I am very much less bullish on Spaghetti. I think we need to go add unless we just want to put all our hopes into the guys we have plus LMJ & Garcia.

When I say bullish I mean long term. I don't expect much from him this year especially as his innings start to increase.

Taking two of our kids to their first game today. I'm more excited than them!

In a nutshell, based on what the “expected” distance home runs and distance were on how hard a ball was hit shows a massive drop off. Expected is calculated based on similar hit balls in the past. This evidence shows that even with hitters hitting the ball just as hard, it isn’t…

Thankfully we won, but both of the fans (one not pictured) could've moved back enough to let Dubon catch it. Hindsight yadda yadda.
The fan did nothing wrong. He didn't extend his arms for the ball. He just reacted. I can understand Dubon being pissed, but I can't blame the fan.
Yeah, if a 100mph+ baseball is coming right at my face, I'm probably not taking my eye off it as it's coming at me.
Astros announce both Jose Urquidy and Cristian Javier will have elbow surgery.
— Ari Alexander (@AriA1exander) June 5, 2024
Urquidy’s is today, Javier’s is Thursday.
Both pitchers are out for 2024.
Confirmed
"Our rotation is still intact and it's a playoff rotation. Losing Urquidy and Javier is unfortunate but we're still in position to make a run and it's not time to hit the panic button." - Astros GM Dana Brown with us on @SportsTalk790 @SeanUnfiltered

Dana would do himself a lot of favors if he lost his voice

Rotation is officially a concern for the remainder of the year, especially if by the All-Star break the Astros are still in contention for the division lead. I also think we need to add pitching depth at the break. It's moved to #1 priority.
It's hard to ask LMJ and Garcia to come in and be themselves when they return. I hope it happens, but, I can't plan on it with them being out all year.

I remember when I was told it's a breath of fresh air to have a GM that talks and gives information.

I guess I just don't see the problem with what he's saying. He's not going to say "We're screwed, our guys suck, we give up and we're going to sell".
He's saying exactly what's needed to be said. Sounding confident without revealing his hand. It's coach speak, or in this case "GM-speak".
I can assure everyone that conversations are happening behind closed doors that involve both buying and selling. You never want to appear desperate.
For clarity: There's absolutely been instances where Dana should have kept his mouth shut and I've even said so myself. I don't think this is one of them though.
