Good call

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Needed that

[wildcat09 29146]

Julks may never get another hit the rest of the season.

[Guest]

Ted is just a good a good motherfucker.  Love his being an Astro.

[closetojumping 62033]

If you want to kill a rally, get Jose Abreu and Corey Julks up to the plate as quickly as possible. The only thing that could be more crushing is bringing Martin Maldonado up with men on base. 

[WBT 20376]

Lulz, Altuve'd

[henrygandorf 29169]

nice to see another team do the stupid shit we would normally get caught doing.

[Scraps 13518]

Lulz....trade for Kwan...that was Astros like

[dr99 551]

Meyers would have thrown it to third

I was just making a point that it seems like hitters are struggling more than usual. I didn't feel like doing a depth look so I just used the statistic that you brought up.

You didn’t make a point. You just threw out nonsense that was irrelevant to the conversation. This isn’t going to get better for you. I guess I am kind of excited that you don’t realize that and you’re going to keep showing up to pull the bookshelf on top of yourself.

we've got a delicate ecosystem going on over here.

At least triple a JP somehow got another quality start tonight. And agree to disagree regarding how that was irrelevant.

Julks 0/21

NOW he’s 3/50

[hornmpa96 2597]

It’s great watching Jose Altuve playing baseball and smiling/laughing at Minute Maid.

[Guest]

Scootblan

[WBT 20376]

So if Altuve slid into the bag there and then came off he's at risk to being tagged out

[Scraps 13518]

Meyers would have lobbed it to third

Fixed

Lets not give him too much credit

[Mo Horn 8779]

I'll take that

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

credit the stadium music player with "born to be wild".  Corny but love it when played. 

[Guest]

Yordan ain’t gonna see shit to hit in this AB

Dude you are one negative mf.  Such a beating.  How can this be enjoyable for you.

[dr99 551]

We need the ump that made Yuli put his back pocket in last year make Jose Abreu button his shirt

Y'all can archive this and tell me what a fucking idiot I am when nothing changes from Baker and the team is better than 25 and 30 in late May. I'll be happy if that is the case. I actually think 25-30 is an optimistic w/l outlook before JA's return without material behavioral changes from a septuagenarian who was just rewarded immensely for doing what he's doing right now. I like Dusty, but this year ain't that year. Texas opened the 2010 season 3-0 and those of us who were handwringing were told we were being negative and things were the same as they ever were. 

Fun fact the Astros had 39 wins before they got 30 losses so I will call you a fucking idiot.

[runthebone 7913]

A little worried about Julks and Meyer's trade value.

[HtownHorn 14395]

Against a lefty. Julks and Meyers should just bunt so they can say they contributed.

[Mo Horn 8779]

Yainer with multiple hits. Gonna have to sit the next 2 or 3 games at least. 

[Scraps 13518]

Steal dude...up your trade value

5th on the team in position player fWAR.  More than Dubon and Julks combined with fewer ABs than both.

Error

[WBT 20376]

Two straight walks for Peña will keep his ops above .660 for another day.  If it gets to .650, Bregman needs to rescind his parking privileges.

[runthebone 7913]

Altuve's walking 3 times is amazing

[Scraps 13518]

Stanek sucks donkey cock

[Mo Horn 8779]

Is there a clause in Stanek's contract that says he can't have an easy inning? 

[David Dennison 18485]

Awful.

[Mo Horn 8779]

Nice job fuckwad Ryne

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Fucking stanek
