Jesus, it's a good thing the value of a homer isn't proportional to the distance it travels, or Trumbo might have put us too far behind to catch up.

I guess it's a little late to remind Lance that Trumbo is a first-ball, fastball hitter.

His bat flips, half skips, homerun gazes, and general preening is only slightly less annoying than GoGo.

Lance is a bit of a badass - needs to figure out how to throw less than 100 pitches through 5 innings though

McCullers has made some big pitches when he need to, but the walks and 10 punchouts means 100+ pitches...I assume that's it for him.

But beyond that... The ball actually went into the stands. This should result in Jake standing at second.

I saw it go into the stands in real time. Some asshole sitting thousands of miles away knows more about what's happening than these fat fuckers standing right there who get paid enormous amounts of money to make these calls.

Actually, you can't go fast on them.  That's one of the things they warn you about.  But they're supposed to be virtually indestructible.

He apparently had several outfield assists. I hope he's honing his disapproving gaze and arm crossing.

FWIW I saw video highlights of him in CC and he looked like a guy enjoying playing baseball. He was hustling on and off the field, high-fiving his teammates, and very happy to have hit a home run.

Some guys in that situation might "big league" the guys around him.

Airplane tires will last 5+ years on a light use tractor.

The Astros are 5-4 since Gomez left... Coincidence?

This bullpen is shaping up. No joke.

The Astros are no longer alone in the AL West cellar.

Springer has potential that I don't even understand. As much attention that Correa gets.....

Springer in the lead-off spot for his career .299/.385/.448.  Now Altuve is like hitless since moving to the 2-hole but I think he will adjust because he is too good a hitter not to. I hope they stay with this.

I hope they last a lot longer than that. Regular farm tires will last 10+, if you stay out of mesquite.  Anyway, pouring down rain today, so I may not even get a chance to try them out.

Clearly the problem is the 2-hole itself, not the guy hitting there. Is there any way to eliminate that?
