Not seeing any signs so far that the Astros will avoid the sweep. Cleveland is our kryptonite.

By the way, Cleveland leads 2-0 after 1 1/2, and Reddick helpfully GIDP'ed in the 1st.

The AARP member Beltran gets us on the board with a solo shot. 2-1 Tribe.

High-speed photo caught Beltran's swing right at the moment of contact: it was the definition of "squaring it up".

Astros climb back within a run 2-1 after Beltran's HR to RF. On to the 3rd inning...

whatever the book is on Gomes they need to re-evaluate. Or just execute it.

Musgrove's stuff doesn't play up. He needs to figure out how to keep it down.

Two (2) two out walks prior to a HR is the equivalent of stomping on one's own dick with clown shoes that have metal spikes.

I had hoped he would be able to do that.

Our pitchers have to be about perfect against them because of how there pitchers control Houston offense.

Geez, how can a left-handed pitcher hit a right-handed batter in the foot? Talk about missing your spot.

Can't put off cutting the grass now. I fully expect you all to make it 8-6 upon my return.

When they show the strike zone graphic can anyone tell if the graphic is static or dynamic? I can't tell but it looks the same for a tall ass dude and it is for a little short guy. ESPN superimposes their graphic over the plate throughout the at bat. Root features it occasionally off to the right side of the screen. FSW has it upper right throughout the at bat.

I usually hate other people's kids at the ball park but other than the Ranger jerseys, that was a good segment with Julia.

Ranger jerseys on children = child abuse.

This team is facing its first real adversity of the season and, once again, it's their offense that's gotten them into trouble.

Aoki goes down swinging to end the game after 9th-inning homers by Gonzalez and Bregman. Mr. Happy's wife is undoubtedly dancing around the house.

The starting pitcher surrendered 7 runs today.

Look, if you wear a Yadi Molina shirsey to an Astros-Indians game, you're a fucking loser. No exceptions.

Tolliver goes 4 innings, gives up 1 run, and is rewarded with a trip back to Fresno.

Right. Hard to blame this one on the offense. Though the other 2/3 of the sweep are a different story.

Yes it was announced. Unknown but Dayan Diaz seems like a good guess.

I thought one positive from the day was that Tolliver may represent a lefty option out of the BP later in the year.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that the ambitions of the team may not align with the realities of sending out fiers and musgrove to start 40% of the games.

If I'd known I had secret powers today I would have skipped the beer with my neighbor and gotten back to the game... shit. You guys held up your end.

I don't want to be a sunshine pumper, but Sipp has held hitters to 1 for 27 this month.
