[Official] Astros @ Rays

Bad luck for Diaz. He hit that hard

 

playing baseball outdoor in florida is brutal

 

Do we just fear ruining Jake if we put him higher in the lineup?

 

iirc, they tried that with him last year and his numbers were pretty bad.

or perhaps i just have selective memories. iono

 

Having him bat after the two guys who have been consistently getting on base this season is really stupid. Just adds extra pressure when he’s already struggling.

Having both Altuve and Walker behind them is beyond stupid though.

 

This HPU has called a really good game

 

That was some really nice pitching by Gordon.

Keep doing that.

 

Gordo cruising.

 

had to look him up.

he's only 42. probably still has good eyesight compares to other umps lol

 

Huge huge bonus if we can get 7 strong from Gordon.

 

i guess rangers pitching was that good.

they kept pena in check the whole series.

 

That sounds familiar.

And it's not like you want 3 terrible hitters in the bottom 3rd of the order.

So i do get it.

 

He’s been so much better this season though and Altuve looks awful. We moved Pena up and it’s worked out so I’d like to try putting him 2nd for a week or two just to see what happens. Have Paredes hit 3rd and move Altuve down to 6th or 7th.

 

Pena hitting leadoff is not ****ing around

 

Was that 1 pitch again for Altuve?

 

Altuve

 

One pitch out Altuve

 

Doesn't matter where in the lineup?

 

has astros offense hit their runs quota for the night?

because it's not gonna end well if 3 runs is all they can score

 

Yep
