    I'm a nihilist

    Yep, soft hands, good arm, he's good. Seems to have a good idea of what he's doing with the bat too, good eye and a nice swing. Just a rookie (they got him in the 3rd, 14 picks before we took Jake Rogers). *******.

    AWESOME! Even better! I knew I could believe in someone who believes in nothing.

    So, who is winning? :D

    Losing LaStella after having him 0-2 cost Zach a run there. Not a sharp inning, only 34 pitches.

    That. The misplay by Bregman. The slow hit ball by semien that Altuve likely turns but mayfield cannot....

    when it’s slumping... everything gangs up. Slump buster needed.

    And Springer promptly hits an at'em ball that anywhere else is a standup double or more

    ...and Brantley's 2B takes an unfriendly bounce instead of going into the corner...and Bregman can't test out the hammy...and...

    Well at least we're hitting Montas. Need to turn it into runs though.

    Somebody needs to start poking the Astros with a stick to see if they are still alive.

    They’re hitting. Just at the wrong time. And when they hit at the right time they’re pitching at the wrong time.

    just a frustrating ass slump.

    Mayfield,Toro,Diaz,Garneau, Stubbs.....ZZZZZZZZZ. Pitiful! You could stand up there with your eyes closed and have just as good a chance.
