Shitfuck, Looks like I'm a gonna have to eat some goddamn chili pie tomorrow if the boys can't pull this one out and end up losing three in a row. I hate chili pie.
Jeus Christ, Davis is actively costing us outs now. For fuck's sake.
This is not a good baseball team right now.
I wonder why.
That stinks.
I'm starting to worry about Tucker. Maybe AJ needs to bat him second or third, like he did to get Bregman going in his rookie season. Or maybe I fear, he is just another AAAA player like Reed, White and Davis. He needs to get it going.
Seriously?The kid is 21 years old. Maybe tap the brakes a little on the hyperbole.
Davis at 3rd is a liability. That's not hyperbole.
Youngest player currently in the AL.
But you still want some production out of the youngest player if you are starting him every day.
You have to be patient. Dammit.
Is Marwin ever going to return to last year's form? That's going to be a tough decision this off-season unless he lights it up in the next couple of months.
For what it's worth, I think Tucker's .1XX is down the middle of the list of this team's problems.
We're gonna waste that leadoff double, aren't we?
Todd Kalas - And Stassi starts off the 6th with a double. Let's see if this gets the Astros going!Ron Howard - It doesn't.
I want old Marwin back so bad.
Ain’t gonna happen. Career year.
Pressly making his Astros debut.Somebody who isn't completely sickened by our offense should come up with a nickname for him.
So do you try to re-sign him this off-season?
How about 'Dinger'?
3-1 feels like about 33-1 right now.This team is dead on it's feet.
Pressly will fit right in.
It's starting to dawn on me that we might get swept by the Rangers.
Come on. He is very good.
His versatility is very valuable. Last year was unexpected. I would but not by breaking the bank.
Exactly. Last season's offense was icing. His value is his ability to play damn near everywhere on the diamond.
Who didn't see a DP coming?
Serious question. How in the fucking world can we hit into this many DP’s? Are we running less than last year? I know we don’t have a team full of base stealers but perhaps we need to hit and run more to stay out of some of these.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A lot of baserunners just adds to more chances. We were 6th in the majors last year in double plays.
Chill. Do you know what a hit and run means for the hitter?
Yes, it means he better put a bat on a ball, and at the rate we look at gut fastballs, that would be a good thing.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hit the fucking cut-off man!
This team takes so many hittable fastballs. It's fucking infuriating.
I'd blame Rondon but this isn't a save situation.
It means he must swing at anything. You pick your spots for it. You do not do it because you are afraid of a dp.
Jim, I understand that. Not suggesting we do it every time, but I can’t even recall the last time we tried to hit and run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Do we drink the same coffee?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That cat is on fire, man.
Trade for Odor.
I'd rather have to eat a 55 gallon drum of Skyline Chili.
There is a reason for that. It is a gamble play. Please, chill. You make coffee nervous.
So my suggesting a hit and run every once in a while is gross overreaction and I need to chill? The way this team is playing right now they need to take a few gambles to shake things up. What they’re doing now ain’t working, but we can agree to disagree.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Not an Odor fan, I take it?
I don't think I've ever seen another name with consecutive X's in it.
Doubtful.I don't think hitting in to double plays is a problem. Teams that get on a base a lot hit in to double plays a lot.This team isn't built to run. It's built to extend innings. It's just missing two of the best pieces that keep it rolling.
What they are doing got them a WS championship last year. They are missing 3 key players. Just got to get through it.
EXACTLY! The three key players missing hurt which may mean you can’t play the same way missing them. All I’m saying is that we may need to be a little unpredictable and think outside of the box to try change the momentum. That’s all I’m saying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He's an asshole.
Go talk to AJ. I dunno what else to say.
You are way more patient than I am.
Altuve to the DL. FUCK
Who are the good hit and run guys on this team, anyway? Bregman? Gurriel? When he's going good, he makes a lot of contact. Even Altuve, as much as I love him, swings and misses a lot. He doesn't strike out a LOT, but he swings and misses at balls you would think he would make contact with sometimes.
The hit and run horse has been bludgeoned beyond recognition.
Probably Gurriel and Kemp because he handles the bat well. Yes, you have to pick the right spot. Yes, it could get a runner thrown out. Yes, you could line into a double play. But you could also get a hit and have a runner go first to third and ignite the crowd and start a rally. Hell, when things are going bad I would like to try something. But evidently it was a stupid suggestion that I made. I apologize to the group. We have other things with our team to worry about. Forgive me please....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Altuve eligible to return Aug 5.AJ said they would put a timetable together tmw for Correa if he looks good.I'll feel better about Altuve after they tell us the actual diagnosis.
What I took from post game is that Altuve basically feels "ok" but they are just being cautious with him.
Maybe, but I think DL means injury.
I don’t like the sound of it either but didn’t Altuve himself say earlier today he was ok they were just being cautious? If they have made the decision not to play him for a few days then it would kind of make sense to move him to the DL so you could call someone up rather than being a man short on the bench. Hopefully that’s all it is.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The team sent out the same vibe early on with Correa’s injury. Let’s hope this situation plays out differently Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
