[Blarg]

I go to dinner and you let this clusterfrack happen. If you guys were babysitters the house would be on fire and the kids would be locked in the attic.

Would you please just become an Astros Fan for us. 

Actually, they were my first favorite team when I was like five years old (late 70s), but only for the uniforms.

Arrived late. Glad I missed the aggravation.

Another apparently lost night in Ass-trosland. 

Anyhoo ...

GO ANGELS!!!

Get well soon, Mike,

Happy Earth Day.

Who is the position player we trot out to the mound for the next 2 innings?

[Vlad27Trout27]

Outside of trout and Walsh, no one can take a walk with this Lineup....Rendon and Stassi need to hurry up, Flec needs to get back on track, Othani keep on doing what your doing.

 

Also Iglesias does not provide much with his bat.Can't draw walks, rarely hit anything outside of Singles and has been ok on Defense.

Albert doing something!

[jsnpritchett]

LOL, there's Albert with his trademark HR in a blowout.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Also Pujols sucks

[Vlad27Trout27]

Perfect timing!

That might get overturned.

It took someone in NY long enough to answer the phone. 

They must've been almost out the door when the call went through?...................

[Blarg]

It hit the pole.There was a slight deviation in ball angle.

Maybe I’m not a genuine baseball guy but I don’t understand moves like that.  8-2 game.  Guys given you 2.1 innings, has 2 outs, 1 runner on and a terrible hitter coming up.  Why change pitchers there?  Why not let him start the next inning.  Maddon needs to inject himself into the game at least once.

I call those a "Vernon Wells"

God forbid he gets a clutch line drive base hit with RISP every once in a while.

I disagree with a lot of what Maddon does regarding bullpen management and the only solution I can come up with as far as his decisions is he's looks so far into analytics he doesn't realize he's now going ass backwards away from logical baseball.
