That bear is mashing the ball

Oooooooooooooooosooooooooooooo

Gattis struggled so mightily the first couple months this season. RIP to bad Gattis

[Guadaloopy 10890]

Why do they keep trotting Gattis out there?

[DaysOff 7785]

Same some for JV plz

[Dr. Teeth 5813]

Gattis is 96 for his last 76 with 200 HRs. These are facts. 

[UTexasFight 9362]

This is player of the month type stuff

[thetruth 149]

JAKE WITH A WALK. HE DID ANOTHER POSITIVE

[thetruth 149]

Bases juiced for the MVP

[perfectchaos007 6573]

eh. Saving those clutch hits for a night we'll need it I guess

[Teddy Tucker 18]

Gattis with 9 dingers in the last 15 games. Insane 

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Evan Gattis is the first player in Astros history with 5 RBIs in consecutive games and, according to Baseball-Reference, it's just the 34th time to happen since 1908. The previous guy to do it: Maikel Franco, as a rookie back in 2015, when he did it at Yankee Stadium and looked like a star in the making.

[thetruth 149]

Hell of a play there Jake! 

[Dr. Teeth 5813]

I believe that is 2 runs saved by Jake. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

That was a sweet ass double play!

[DaysOff 7785]

Jesus Jake

[UTexasFight 9362]

Reymin: “I don’t see that down the road where I’m used to playing”

[Dr. Teeth 5813]

And let’s go ahead and end the Guduan experiment for tonight.

Not letting up at all 

Sparks: "I don't feel like Smolinski is changing speeds up enough"

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6573]

Damn. What a good 8th and 9th inning for Jake

[thetruth 149]

Just now, UTexasFight said:

This was a legitimate question. Jake from Rake farm takes him deep. 

[Dr. Teeth 5813]

Nope. 2 run homer. Which will completely turn his season around. Amirite. 

[UTexasFight 9362]

Poor Smolinski.

[DaysOff 7785]

Jesus Jake

[UTexasFight 9362]

Lulz at the ump giving smolinski these calls

Careful what you ask for, what with our bullpen and stuff. 

[Dr. Teeth 5813]

#44!!!

[thetruth 149]

Guduan with a nice bounce back inning. Would be nice to have a home grown lefty reliever work out. 

[tx 3 putt 75959]

keep racking up W's

I'm not sure this was true. From one hitter to the next, there was a few mph difference in exit velocities.

This seems as good a topic as any for post #1000. I shared this after some Oso Blanco feat last season, but that of course was on a certain site not to be named. For those who haven’t seen it, enjoy:

day game today boys, let's close this sweep out and get our roll onto KC.

first pitch 2:35p. 

[henrygandorf 29169]

they were rolling thru the stats quickly on mlb central, but i think i got them right.

in his last 26 games, gattis has 34 rbi.  in his last 7 games, he has 16 rbi.

if gurriel and gattis can keep (some of) this going, it'll take a lot of pressure off our sp.

[UTexasFight 9362]

Last night was one of the few times this year I remember thinking this looks like 2017 when we would just absolutely pummel a team...and the first I can remember this year where it was Gattis/Yuli/Marwin leading the charge instead of the big names

Hope it continues.

I doubt he gives a shit.  He's not a pitcher.

Anyone day drinking today and watching the game somewhere ?

This but everyone around us was having a good laugh at it

[Dr. Teeth 5813]

Without giving it away to people not on IG, I have never been more attracted to Dennis Eckersley as I am today.

[henrygandorf 29169]

i'm on instagram and have no idea what you're talking about.
