    You might wanna change your moniker because your comments today indicate you clearly aren't an Astros fan. That pitch was well above the zone.

    Astros retake the lead. The same people saying the As are better than us are now probably placing bets on Astros to win it all.

    Bregman is starting to get the rep of having a good eye. Players with that rep sometimes get benefit of the doubt on close pitches.

    This ump is annoying as hell with his delayed strike calls.

    A's gotta feel they dodged a huge bullet by getting out of a bases loaded, 1-out and heart of order with only two runs.

    Only if we traded for Solar at the deadline, amirite?

    A lot of insufferable fans in here, must suck to follow a game of failure and be so negative.

    Sucks to only get 2 there, but I'll still take the lead. Correa is in a serious funk right now.....dude needs to re-calibrate and get his mind right.

    Also time for Altuve to stop getting a free pass. Terrible at bats the last two games.

    Thankfully Astros regained the lead but that inning was still kind of disappointing. Altuve presses more at home. He needs to relax. Correa is just not that good of a player for the vast majority of this year. Hope he get's he **** together. We need Correa to play much better for the team to reach full potential.

    Didn't you hear? Rumor on the street is that he isn't motivated at all, and he might retire within the next few days.

    And when he does care, his HRs barely go over the fence.

    No bullet to dodge with Altuve and Correa firing blanks in that inning.

    I know I'm right, thank you for noticing. Is Solar back from his broken foot?

    Just like last night in the 8th, these two are whiffing (and looking) out in the big spots. C'mon guys!
