July 3, 20196 yr Up 23 points the last 2 games Batting .800 over that span... and using the last two games as a guide, he’s on pace for 5 hits tomorrow
July 3, 20196 yr Osuna with a 1 run lead. Can be nerve wracking.You apparently didn’t watch the closer we had at this time last year.

July 3, 20196 yr Thursday: we fucking suck. I hate this game. The rangers are only 4.5 back!! OmgTuesday: 4 in a row. We’re up 7.5.Hard to imagine anything other than 11-0 in October.
July 3, 20196 yr Fun fact.Astros have played 20 games since Yordan got called up (June 9)Our two Cubans have 13 HRs in that span The rest of the team has 17.
July 3, 20196 yr We are up 6.5. But I love the sentiment Before tonightWe’re up 7 real time and I assumed the rangers aren’t going to come back from 5 down with 6 outs to go.

Apologies to you, sir I checked my CBS Sports app and I swear it showed the Rangers winning with a final of 5-2. I have no idea at this point what day that game was played. Probably need to update the app You goddamn right they aren’t coming back. Mea culpa.
July 3, 20196 yr Currently 7.5 ahead of the Rangers, and 7.5 on the A’s. A’s still playing against the Twins. If the A’s win, we’ll be up by 7 on them and the Rangers will drop to 3rd place by half a game. Twins win, we’ll be up by 8 on A’s and Rangers stay in 2nd by a half game. A’s lead Twins 7-6 in top 7. Of course, none of that matters since everyone else is playing for 2nd in the AL West. 😁 Edited July 3, 20196 yr by Wishbone

I was merely agreeing with you in that there are a lot of chicken little doomsday posters all throughout Surly, which is normal and just part of the the whole. I was just offering a a tongue in cheek solution to filter it out, and tbh, thought your post was meant as tongue in cheek as well. It never crossed my mind that you were talking shit about anything. All is cool with me.

July 3, 20196 yr Trying to get pitching ninja to post the Pressly K to Arenado from last night cause that shit looked sick
July 3, 20196 yr Any idea who is pitching for the Hooks on Sunday? Finally making it back to a game in Corpus.

July 3, 20196 yr Just now, WBT said: Devo's K of Blackmon was pretty sick too Yep, that was the COD of old. I missed her.
July 3, 20196 yr Any idea who is pitching for the Hooks on Sunday? Finally making it back to a game in Corpus.Abreu started last night and would be in line Sunday if they use a normal 5 man rotation but no idea if that’s the case and who knows with all the the shuttling between Houston and Round Rock which I would think would have filter down to Corpus to some extent as well.
July 3, 20196 yr https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/texas-sports-nation/astros/article/Astros-insider-How-Carlos-Beltran-helped-to-14068517.php Carlos Beltran still contributing to the Astros. Somehow some way I want that guy on our staff. Someone get Lunhow on line 1.

July 3, 20196 yr Yeah, there aren't many better ways to spend an afternoon than baseball, beer and whataburger.

July 3, 20196 yr I know this is next level, a hs playoff game there is baseball at its finest. Full house and very rowdy. Hooks used to offer the stadium for little to no charge probably still do Also ut / tamu-cc was must watch baseball at that stadium
July 3, 20196 yr Usually I’d be against this but maybe it will help fix his pop up problem. Or maybe he hits 10 infield flies and shows back up the next night to win his Dad a truck.
July 3, 20196 yr CONCLUSION Home Run Derby curse, fact or fiction? We have no choice but to conclude that it’s fiction. If we consider all the ways that the statistics should behave if there is no curse, we find that they consistently match that model. Certainly, some players will have a decline in power-hitting statistics from the first half of the season to the second after participating in the Derby, but it is clear from the analysis that this would have occurred for those players regardless of whether they chose to participate or not.
July 3, 20196 yr Side note but since it involves mmp , the longhorns will be part of the 2020 college classic next year. Looks to be a stacked tournament. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
July 3, 20196 yr Why aren't we playing on the 4th and why are we the only team in all of MLB to be playing (Against the Rangers) on July 11th?
