    from the first pitch, it had the energy of a Summer League game with none of our high draft picks playing.
    These games in empty stadiums suck.
    I had to flip to the radio because it was giving me a headache. Those 2017 games in Tampa were the same way.

    Bregman today:

    Runners on -- 0-2 (including a DP)
    Bases empty -- 1-1

    He's also a turtle, so couldn't score when he reached.

    Montero warming up now = white flag. He's the human defeat cigar at this point.

    We definitely need an extra bat at the deadline.

    Good job, Montero, no matter the circumstances. Credit given.

    This is why I'm good with the Astros losing right now. A sweep by the A's would make them think twice about not going through with a meaningful trade.
    L tomorrow and L Wednesday will be okay with me.

    Negative credit for Meyers. In that situation, you must look to drive a pitch into the outfield. Even a K isn't a rally killer. That DP, though.

    Remember during our hot streak when the bottom 3 were the ones producing? Well the Astros fixed that.

    I’m going to pass on that homie.

    The issue isn’t whether Crane and Brown want to make a trade - it is whether they can out bid everyone else.

    Getting swept in this series would only lead to bad things.

    Right now the Astros offense is smoke and mirrors to an extent with out Kyle Tucker… they are trying hard for a bat and an arm.
