{Official} Astros @ Mariners

Maybe Correa's not having a sophomore slump, he's just having a case of LonghornFan's bad karma.

yeah...I just spent 8 days in the Seattle area. I'm jealous and I didn't want to come home until October.

 

I think you know what you should do to support Correa, the Astros organization, your CF brethren, and all Astros fans around the world.

No pressure, though!

Cruz is a late scratch. Their lineup looks real weak today on paper.

 

I think Reed is going to do damage. The break should have helped him take a breath and figure his approach out.

 

I guess fouling that ball of his foot last night is keeping him out. I think he did the same thing in their last series in Houston too

 

Yeah, he was wearing a guard on the top of his foot for the rest of the series.

 

Hadn't been paying much attention to the NL, so I was surprised how much the scrubs have been struggling after their hot start. Since June 1, they're 19-20, and they're 7-15 in their last 22. For comparison, the Rangers are 23-15 and 10-12 respectively.

 

I'm watching the Rangers game here waiting for the Astros to start. I have to say, the half dozen games I've heard with the Rangers broadcasters I like. I haven't heard much if any complaining and they talk up the opponents players often.

 

Arlington down 2-1 to the Cubs in the bottom of the 5th

What's Correa looking at?

 

Strikes.

 

Iwakuma sure has the ball moving around so far today.

 

Can't believe Gomer lost his helmet.

 

Gomez back to reality lately.

 

nice play by Valbuena.

 

there should be a gogo go game. find gomez's helmet in the city.
