They need 3 runs, not 1.

With Straw’s 4.4 speed and Brantley’s propensity to hit into double plays lately, sending Straw wasn’t a bad idea.

Zero clutch hitting 

Still can't believe people on this thread were not in favor of trading Tucker for Yelich last year.

This fucking week is on me and I beg your forgiveness... stated Monday with a loss in Round Rock.
Tues and Wed in Cincy.
Thurs and Fri in NYC.
On the bright side, this albatross heads back to Texas tomorrow

This gif seems appropriate

1-13 with runners in scoring position 

fuuuuuuuuuuck 

Better to get this out of the way now.

 

Just shook Robert Fords hand outside and said wtf lol. He told me its ok cause we have a 7.5 game lead.

 

 

Dude I'm losing all the games on my road trip this is so not ok

 

 

When we were looking at a 4-6 week stretch without most of our good players, I was hoping for .500. I think we're still a few games better than that (though maybe not by the time the weekend is over). 

This team sans Springer, Correa, Altuve (who missed 35 games) and Diaz is pretty much a .500-ish club.

You're what we call a "home game only" fan.

a healthy smith and mchugh would be a nice pick me up for this pitching staff

i think mchugh gets another look at starter

Meh. Im .500 right now on the road with a 4 game losing streak

Not my fault the these fucks can't hit. Im not the hitting coach.

Let's see what 2021 Tucker has to say about that

1-13 with runners in scoring position 
fuuuuuuuuuuck 

During this six game losing streak, the Astros are averaging 2.3 runs per game, have led for three innings and are 6-for-44 with runners in scoring position. They struck out eight times in 13 such at-bats on Friday.

On the bright side...

Tyler White! In June, he's hitting .277/.435/.468, and he's walked as frequently as he's struck out.

Meanwhile, Gurriel still sucks. He's among the worst everyday players in baseball. White was a better hitter than Yuli last year and has been this year as well (despite White's horrendous first 2 months). 

I know we kind of have to play Yuli every day right now; but Yuli should draw our collective ire before TW. 

They both suck but yuli is just more likeable.

I'm ok with neither being part of the playoff roster plan if possible

Yeah, neither is particularly good. We frequently discussed upgrading the DH/1B spot in the offseason. 

Hopefully Yordan becomes the badass DH/occasional OF we haven't had. We still need to be better at 1B. I'm just saying that White has been better than Yuli in 2018-2019. 

Hank, I love you man, but we get it.
I think that horse has been beaten to death for those of us on this thread a lot.

I do appreciate the facts to back it up though because we do all have subconscious bias to hate one more over the other

I love that White has decent numbers this month and stick my nose in the air when people bash white and say he’s awful.
While he is still that (how can you be a first baseman/DH and only have 2 HRs and 11 RBIs at the summer solstice!) but at least he’s turning the lineup over to get someone up at bat that can actually hit one out.

That's fair.

This. But barring injury there is a zero percent chance Yuli Gurriel will not be on the playoff roster.

And that’s fine if we get one of these in the WS...

Hmm.  I think Yuli's stance is a little different this year.  In the WS year, he nearly always had his back to the pitcher.  This year, he is a little more shoulder forward.  I always thought his stance was weird looking, but it worked.

How is Correa's vagina feeling? Any indication of when he will be back?

Won't start rehab until after the ASB. I'd guess he's back in late July, so another month.

Yep, and we've got a bad case of food poisoning, so we get both at the same time.

Maybe the nationally televised game will turn around our fortunes tonight

Either way we are getting the Yankees shoved down our throats right out of the gate by Fox.  

Good dp. Nice having altuve’s glove out there again 

Edited by tx 3 putt

I get back into the country and these guys have lost every game I’ve been gone??? What the heck have y’all been doing around here???

Almost every pitch that Tanaka throws looks like it should be crushed. Obviously they have tons of movement cause it's rarely squared up.

Another quality t Wizzle at bat

stassi might have found his swing in the minors 

2 out rally with White and Stassi. I think the world is ending.
