Who had Cooper Hummel on the bingo card for HOTD?

I think this is my 4th win in a row. I was on a bad losing streak last year.

so among the Astros wins in the last 2 weeks...

- Cam walkoff
- Dubon walkoff
- extra inning wild pitch
- 8th inning Hummel homer

I think it's the first time all year that both Abreu and Hader pitched that Hader got a save but Abreu didn't get a hold.

And da Jankees just got walked off in the 11th

Well Julia, yew got a purdy mouth

At least they have matching 1.78 ERAs for the nonce.

When you're down Yordan you take these one run wins when you can get em. Doesn't this prove our clutch mettle? This is what we haven't been able to do since '22

This was like a classic late 70's Astro win...except we wouldn't have hit a homer, just scratched a run across somehow.

bring on Zack Wheeler

Exactly! Baseball is a team game and the bottom of the order is picking up the top of the order until they get out of their current little slump.

It's beautiful.

That was the equivalent of a playoff win vs. a playoff team throwing their best. The Phillies just came out of slapping the Mets 2 out of 3 by big margins last weekend - 10-2 and 7-1.

Chronicle did a cool article on her when she joined the staff.

Does Joe roll out The Lineup of Death again tomorrow?

Traveling for work and had a client dinner so didn't follow. Just checked how we scored and holy crap, Hummel really was tonight's hero????

Pretty wild sequence. Christian Moore thinks he has a game tying triple, slides in the third, then celebrates as a walkoff as it’s called a HR pic.twitter.com/xu1NQ5dmkt

Sat in the Crawfords tonight, atmosphere was great for a Tuesday. Some games are billed pitcher's duels when it's just bad offense but that was actually a pitcher's duel. Great win against an elite pitcher.

Remember 2016?

At this point, it's been a lifetime, at least relative to the sports landscape we now know. The Olympics were in Rio that summer and we've since seen Games in Toyko and Paris. Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors only had one title at the time. Patrick Mahomes was gearing up for his junior year at Texas Tech and the Chiefs hadn't won the Super Bowl since the 1969 season. Connor McDavid was a rookie. Caitlin Clark was 14 years old.

And the Houston Astros had never won the American League West.

There have been seven full seasons since then and the Astros have won the AL West every single time.

For years, they've continued to win with a mix of continuity and newcomers. It's happening again and anyone surprised by this is a fool. Until someone proves otherwise, the Astros own the American League West.

---

It seems once or twice a year there's a game we look back on and think "how the hell did that happen?"

Last night was one of those games. Cooper Hummel the hero. Just like we all expected when we saw him in the lineup.

In all seriousness though - good for Cooper. That's a swing he'll never forget.

Cooper has some kind of energy. During Julia's postgame interview he was really fired up. Good for him.

Went to first Astros game last night.

Josh Hader was absolutely dealing when he came in.

Environment was electric even though score was 1-0.

Gig 'Em!!!

This is the version of Hader we paid for.

WATCH YOUR BACK, BARRY
By hitting a second home run this season, Cooper Hummel jumped his per-season HR average from 1 to 1.25 per year. This accelerated his due date to tie Barry Bonds' career mark of 762 dingers by ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS. Instead of tying melon head in 2758, Hummel is now on pace to do so in June of 2630. Inevitably, Mr. Bonds.


THE CURSE OF JUSTIN VERLANDER?
JV gave up 3 earned runs in 5 innings and took the loss vs. Miami yesterday. He's 0-5 on the season. The Giants are 4-8 in games he pitches and 40-27 when he doesn't.

NICE JOB, LOSER

The Rockies are halfway to 122 losses, which would be a new record. They are 18-61, on pace for 125 losses. The White Sox lost 121 last year. Chicago was 21-59 through 80 games last year, but is 4 games better in 2025 at 25-55, only on pace to lose 111.

PENA NEW PACE
Jeremy Pena now on pace for 205 hits this season. There's a very short list of Astros who have made it to 200 hits in a season: Altuve, Altuve, Biggio, Altuve, Altuve. That's it, nobody else, ever.

DARTH HADER
Up to 20 saves and 55 strikeout in 35.1 innings pitched. That's 14.009 K/9 innings.

Enos Cabell came close to getting 200 hits when he had 195 in 1978.
