    Everyone knows this, but:

    Which position player would you rather be on the mound right now?

    Astros 3-4 in games started by Valdez and Brown.

    We need to win 2/3 of these games to have a chance at a successful season.

    No Bueno.

    Didn't say I cared that he’s pitching. I merely said he blows.

    Maybe not 110, but he made good contact with lift

    OUT

    Eta: add another bloop hit to STL's tally

    Starts slow, amps up, then goes completely apesh!t

    Good movie.

    He's (the writer/director) got a couple of other ones that are very fun and worth a watch if you don't mind some violence: Brawl in Cell Block 99, and Dragged Across Concrete

    It’s a long season, but right now it’s hard to imagine this team in the playoffs. The subtractions in the off-season limits how much mediocrity and demands more consistent stud performances from a few individuals in the lineup

    Been a minute since I saw it, but the word ‘INTENSE’ is flashing in the recesses of my memory

    At least Sousa and Contreras saved the bully a little bit without much damage -- 4 IP / 1 Run

    Next, I'd like to avoid the shutout

    This underachieving offense hasn't been shutout this season.

    Framber isn’t an ace.

    Yeah, you know he's gonna average about 30 starts and 200 IP, 6 innings a game over the course of a season, but you just never know which Framber (good Framber vs bad Framber) will show up on a game-to-game basis.

    Highest OPS -- not Altuve

    1st Paredes
    2nd Altuve
    3rd.....

    Picsart_25-04-14_23-43-49-186.jpg

    Two players above a measly .700

    Half the team is below .600

    We're not bottom 5 (entering today), so at least there's that.

    I went to the top and spent my time trying to figure out the engineering that keeps the car relatively level. It was cramped for a 6'2" guy, so I had no desire to go back even if I ever went back to St, Louis. I honestly don't even remember why I was there. Probably business.
