Unless it's yordan we should ALWAYS bunt the double over to 3rd
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
MAGA

Altuve and Yordan had great games at the plate
but the guys behind them went 0 for 8
where is Tucker?

We've got 5 major league players in the lineup right now. Can't get Tuck back soon enough. Need a 1b desperately.
Several week away 
Need depth. Cabbage and Salazar ain't it….
I guess I missed it but what about Dubon or McCormick there?

Here's my contribution to the current run.
The other day, digging around in the closet, I found an old Astros shirt.
How old?
All that is on the front of the T-**** is 2 lines:
Astros
HOUSTON
And on the right edge of those two lines is an Astros shooting star logo, encircled with "MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NATIONAL LEAGUE"
Under that "MLBP 2006"
I wore it during Saturday's game: W
I wore it during Sunday's game: W
Wore it today: W
Ain't washing it
Will be wearing it tomorrow.
Well damn!
Oh well. Shirt was starting to get a little gamey. Guess I can wash it now
I'm still going to go sleep well with the Ags' day today but sucked that we squandered a leadoff double.Prosperdick said:Aggies carried the load today so I'll go asleep happy. Can't win them all and the Ags won a LOT today!!!W said:
Astros scuffling tonight
miscommunication on the pop-up
Oops, hadn't caught up to the thread yet and I'm not watching tonight and figured it was over.

Neck pain, TJ surgery, anal fissures, leg amputation. Who knows?

Gotta give Salazar some credit. In 16 ABs he's got 5 RBI and an .889 OPS. He's hacking it as a backup catcher.
And I would've left him in there because he seems to battle and make contact, whereas Cabbage looked like he should be on a bus to Fayetteville.
The two-hole hitter went 0-4 to drop that OPS back to .702, as well.
Brutal top of the 9th and start by Arighetti

To be fair his defense didn't help. The pop fly that Yordan didn't catch. The bad defense by Salazar to allow Kirk to score.
I don't feel bad about these losses when out offense still shows up. Just gotta clean up pitching.
7nine
Why didn't we bunt Pena over?
That was a no brainer move down by one.

He's picking up side work as a barista at Lance's coffee shop.
This loss sucks but they battled back and almost had it. Couple of months ago 7-0 would've felt like 70-0. Let's take the next 2 and we're still good.
Isn't Salazar a LH hitter, I don't understand why Espada brought in Cabbage for him??
As much as some of us talk sh*t about Cintron did yall notice these past 2 HRs he's the very first one Yordan gives a hug to and they tell each other stuff. Hahah and we're over here hating him.

Let's hope the Os beat the seamen so we don't lose any ground in the division

Grayson vs Kirby duel delivered. O's up 2-0 in the 8th.
This is very very true even today
The biggest difference about the Astros now?

You never ever feel like they’re out of the game anymore
A couple months ago a 2-0 deficit might as well have been 10-0
Leadoff runner on top of the 9th, would be nice for the O's to pick up insurance
Guess not (caught stealing) - 3 more outs to go.
Hoping to stay within 3 games of both Division and WC

Let's see how KC v Rays finishes for WC standings

Rags won in division; Red Sox in WC chase.
Nothing two more wins in Toronto can't fix.

Yup. I honestly thought they were going to win that game today.All I do is Nguyen said:

I'm just waiting for Vladdy to switch dugouts.
ESPN's "One player every MLB team should trade for (or away) this July," says the Astros should trade for Vladimir Guerrero.

What would the cost be?https://t.co/oqAb4avI1H pic.twitter.com/DJOUxA9Xyd
The smoke behind that is VERY real by the way. I'm not saying it's likely to get done, but they're trying.
Full trade: The Brewers are acquiring right-hander Aaron Civale from the Rays in exchange for infielder Gregory Barrios, according to sources familiar with the deal. @JonHeyman had Civale to Crew first.
