So nice to drive in RISP and throw up a crooked number on the scoreboard.

And against a 20-10 team to boot.

Looks like we're going to give Jose Ramirez an 0fer the series

Will Brennan can fuck off though

Bregman meet Mr Mendoza

Now do Yordan

0-400

Ball game.
One 8th inning sac fly last night away from a sweep and 5 game winning streak. But keep winning series and it will be fine. Unlike Yordans average, things are trending up.

[elfenix 34161]

astros win!

[Mo Horn 8779]

Maybe the biggest win of the season

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Nice series. Should have swept it

[WBT 20376]

Keep winning series.

That's 4 out of 5 and tied with the Angels.

[hornmpa96 2597]

Good series win! Get another one this weekend.

[runthebone 7913]

Cleveland must suck to drop 2 out of 3 to the Astros

[thetruth 149]

For the first time all season I feel confident enough to post this, but

Trunks pop, tops drop

4 out 5 brining the fire

[TejasPedro 1849]

startin’ to come together Pepper, startin’ to come together!

[tx 3 putt 75959]

This series was a must win, same for this weekend 

we’re in a deep hole

Don't know what everyone is so worried about. Just keep playing .800 ball through the end of the season and bingo, bango, bongo the Astros finish 116-46. And nobody has ever finished with that many wins and blown it in the playoffs. Certainly hasn't happened twice.

Bregman looks like a terrible way to spend Crane’s money until you look at the expected 3b FA list for ‘25.

Maldy missed his calling as a cult leader

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Extremely believable 

[TexArcher 37414]

Won 4 out of 5 and scored 40 runs in those games.  Abreu isn't a thing anymore.

I want to believe.

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Yordan needs to play LF all weekend 

[UTexasFight 9362]

Bregman bashing has reached a fever pitch on this thread…which means he is about to finally wake up. It’s science.

if not this weekend, New York, New York right before Mother’s Day weekend should finally shake him loose.

Not happening

[Scraps 13518]

Also our raisin balls manager should move his ass to 6th or 7th in the lineup, but we like to sabotage our own team like fucking morons so why would we do that?

He needs to do whatever he can to take any pressure off Salsa boy....so don't hit him 2nd....don't hit him 4th.

Hell Bregman should man up and go request to be dropped in the order because he should realize he is shit...but once again he probably isn't man enough to do that.

On this day in 1974 - 50 years ago! - Two female fans streak nude through the outfield during the seventh-inning stretch. The Cardinals then gave up three runs in the bottom of the seventh and the Astros beat them 4-1. 

[WBT 20376]

Pics?

[txduck87 981]

Keep winning series.
That's 4 out of 5 and tied with the Angels.

When do we get Urquidy & Javier back?  I'm definitely tired of seeing Brown & Arrighetti start games.

Arrenghetti was pretty good last night and there’s stuff inside his numbers that are promising. 
Javier should be back Sunday.

He's definitely trending the right direction I just would rather have him in the bullpen to chew up innings

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Mendoza back in the 4 hole. 

[kevwun 15572]

Henceforth .200 is the Maldonado line and .100 is the Abreu line.

They are spectacularly similar this season except Maldy has one HR other than that it's pretty much the same offensive player.

[kevwun 15572]

I think Maldonado actually might have a tick better numbers.  It would be neat if Bregman wasn't complete shit for the first quarter or third of the year.

[Dutchrudder 11087]

Singleton played really well this series and deserves some love. Let Vic platoon with him and Diaz and we should be fine there.
