    Played sh*tty stupid and did't deserve to win. More annoyed about small unprofessional things than King meltdown. Seems like Smith is trying to pick all the bad habits possible. Terrible AB's and atleast with 2 short pop ups he's staying in box to admire could it drop instead of running for possible double if dropped. Wtf. And nobody says anything.

    Was dreaming of sweeping the Rangers but I guess just fighting to not get swept ourselves. :(

    Hader closes them both out and hopefully the offense gets on-track with some better ABs.

    Paredes and Walker with an awful combined 0-fer...

    Hopefully Hader for just one. Astros need some stat-pad.

    Astros have been winning series, but they're also getting outscored. They are close to 500, but many teams are -- and those teams have far better differentialls. Time will tell if the early injuries were just an excuse for a subpar team. The fact Hunter returned and is struggling does not help.

    Just heard Ford interviewing Sam Nasci in the Astro's replay room. That was goof stuff hearing the process and protocols for determining within 15 secs if you want to challenge a play, and all the other misc. stuff he brought up.

    They should build a statue of Yordan at Globe Life Field. Rangers fans should feel thankful they get to witness this greatness in person. Show some respect, regardless of what team he’s on…

    Someone’s got to get the shot of the kid behind Alvarez in the red Texas hat, that was hilarious when he hit that

    Man that was an insanely huge hime run from Wade. Can’t afford to get swept by the rangers, and while it’s certainly not over, it at least gives us some breathing room.

    I think lambert sticks.

    Hopefully Ronel truly be healthy soon . I feel like they are both a bit old.school . Walter too , but smaller sample size .

    Lance is also old.school .
