Gomez may be banished to the bench if Hinch prefers a recently called-up lefty on lefty match-up to putting Gomez back out there.

hinch said he would sit after the game last night.

Carlos took some anger out on that pitch.

I wouldn't let Gomez play another fuckin' game until he puts the glasses back on. He had a good stretch wearing the glasses. The contacts ain't working. They're not for everybody. i never took to 'em.

I didn't know much about Kepler, but hearing that he's a German born player, I was looking him up on wikipedia.  I was curious if he was just someone born to an American parent stationed there or something.  His parents are both professional ballet dancers that met while working for a company in Berlin.  His mother is actually from San Antonio originally, his father is from Poland.  Sorry if this was known already.  I just found it interesting.

I just get excited when a European player shows up in the big leagues.  It would be nice for the game to expand further there.

I think that on last night's telecast they said he didn't move the US until he was in high school, which makes his accomplishment that much more impressive.

I missed that.  That IS something.  Thanks.

I believe high school in Germany too.

All of a sudden it's 4 to 2 favor of the twins.

Blummer says that when his teams needed an rbi Bagwell was the one to 'break the seal.'

I might have found a different way to put it.

Back in this thing, come on boys.

[MusicMan]

Correa with 4 of the 5 RBI tonight.

What do you guys think about Kemp so far?

[MusicMan]

Altuve is 4-4. Just out of his mind on the road.

.493 on the road since May 1st. Guy is amazing.

[chuck]

Boy, I bet this guy Suzuki is one hell of a pitch framer.

[MrKnuckleball]

Wow look at Harris go, nice scoreless frame.

[Tom Servo]

My power went out, and the Astros start scoring.  Maybe I should go all survivalist for the team's sake.

I told all you nancies last night.
