    Because like the rest of the Astros, they don't really care.

    If Tucker has a good half season next year and stays healthy, I’d argue trading him at the deadline. I don’t like his fight and he honestly doesn’t seem like he wants to be here.

    Why the hell are you watching if you think that is true. It was a questionable check swing that was called a strike on appeal.

    That’s just his demeanor. He would look the same on another team.

    Yordan doesn’t look 100% or even 80%. He doesn’t have a lot of spring when he bats and looks like he is mainly using upper body strength.

    really sucks he got injured right before this series. Astros always have this kind of luck

    Something wrong with my local channel satellite reception. I can't get locals anywhere but in my master bedroom and don't want to hang out in there. My local reception only works on the other TVs when the sun goes down and it starts cooling off. Don't work at all in the hottest parts of the summer. Such a weird problem. I don't get it. It would seem like you either get the channels or you don't.

    I'll be scoreboard watching I guess.

    that check swing should have been a walk.

    They are still my team....if you want to be around for the good days, you have to stick around after they no longer have "the heart of a champion" and you still need to stick around even when they are flat out bad.

    Being annoyed by a lack of motivation is something that should be universal among fans.

    He had two hits yesterday and was the only Astros player to have an extra base hit. He can still put bat to ball when he isn't 100%.

    Yea I’m not disputing that. I just don’t see him laying out for line drive that might win a game or running hard to first to keep an inning alive. And I think we could get a lot for him.
