  1. Frustrating. Caratini looked at about 5 strikes.
  2. That’s what you do with middle-middle, Abreu
  3. Making him work a bit more but of course Abreu whiffs way late on a 93 mph meatball that perfectly caught the middle of the plate.
  4. 7 pitches, 4 outs. Let’s change the approach guys.
  5. Time for Yordan to turn things around.
  6. Yes, sorry for my pedantic joke. I feel pretty good about his ability to keep it together. The guy is built like a house and if he can keep that fastball 93-95 and locate that changeup on a regular basis, watch out. Obviously the league will adjust to his first game throwing changeup on more than a third of his pitches. But if he can continue to locate and “tunnel” as they say these days, no reason to think he will be just a flash in the pan.
  7. We do have something, another no-hitter and several new MLB firsts
  8. 6th no-hitter in 4 seasons + 5 games. That’s fucking wild.
  9. Now is where you admit you might have been a tad too reactionary about Dana Brown.
  10. Dammit Derka you beat me by 8 minutes for Blanco
  11. “The situation of this ballgame.” Nobody wants to say it 🤫
  12. That was good. I honestly don’t get the hate for Kalas around here. Sure he flubs a bit, but I think he’s overall a pretty great announcer.
  13. King Tuck. Oh boy. We all know what happens the day after scoring 10 runs.
  14. You are so predictably hilarious. For the rest of us.
  15. Actually no. Way worse at the plate. He’d miss an 88 mph middle-in meatball by a foot. I think he’d catch a dinky flip from the pitcher on a weak groundout in the field.
  16. There you go Tuck ¿Por que no los dos?
  17. Goddamn Trout just hit a monster shot to tie it up in Miami
  18. I fear you’re right. But I also know I’d be a lot happier if Jon Singleton were my weed dealer than 1B for the Astros, so I’m holding out hope.
  19. Yeah, the most diverse city in the nation that elected a lesbian mayor a decade ago and has been blue as long as most of us have been alive is really a hotbed for racism. The fuck?? Yes, I recall that Hader had some bad twitter posts when he was in high school. It’s not great and I’m not really sure how to square it other than I hope he has grown as a person. But to say “fits the Houston motif??” Fuck off.
  20. So goddamn frustrating. I’m a season ticket holder and don’t look forward to our turn with the tickets. They have to figure out how to win at home. And yeah, having black holes at 1B and CF is a fucking problem.
