    Yuli leaving all this runners on base from the cleanup spot is not ideal but at least Springer came up big that inning.

    Haven't seen Yuli swing late through this many fastballs in a long time, if ever.

    I'd love to see them get James in this game if Keuchel gets in trouble here. See if they can speed up their bats when the FB goes from 90 to 101.

    Never really liked Brownie in the multiple decades I listened to him. Didn't hate him. He was as neutral you could come. Like grey paint, so it was great to have a decent color guy with him. We always used to sort of chuckle and groan at his constant relaying of stats when he really only had like 3-5 stats to relay in the pre-sabermetrics era.

    Dierker was excellent. Always excellent, unfiltered insights into what was going on. Deshaies was great. Blum is exceptional, and the fact that he's played on pretty much every team in existence makes for excellent stories about opponents as well.

    I'm worried that this is my fault. On Friday we were allowed to wear athletic gear at work, so I wore my lucky 'Tuves jersey that I wore all during the playoffs last year. On Saturday I was wearing a different Astros shirt as I was running the kids all over town, but as soon as I got home and we were down 1-0 I put it on. As soon as I got it buttoned up, boom...2-run double from Marwin.

    Today...well, I can't get away with the jersey at work again.

    Well he was not the joke today. We had plenty of base runners and didn’t take advantage.

    Not an ideal pitch there, Dallas.

    Seriously who gives a crap? I love people hating on any Houston sports team. We all know who the defending world champs are and no one wants a piece of us.

    They answered so we need to answer back. Let's go bottom of the batting order!

    Wouldn't say their commentary on DK was that bad. It's clear he's battlefighting. His stuff hasn't been sharp, well-sequenced or moving all that much.
