Would love to see the splits when Dome bats 2nd
Feels like the offense is a dud every time. But can’t blame him lately; the entire lineup has stunk – maybe the offense will show up by the playoffs.
Let's get there first!
But yeah, would rather see a slump now than in four weeks.

I got in the car to come home and was about to switch to the Cubs game
but then I heard Uecker say that Gagne was coming in… So I figured that had to be good for a few runs so I listened until I got home… Too bad they pay him so much or they could dump him for a rookie who could pitch better…..

It looked to me like Sori was not really keen on getting that ball...
maybe my imagination….but where was everyone else?
he was chasing it.

Riot showed up after it rolled over the BP mound
Don’t think anyone anticipated it to keep rolling though

would still score a run

Off Line Throw From EdMo

He didn't get the guy out
It was behind the runner. He was in shallow center and should’ve been able to get it to Soto without a bounce and on the line.

It was a bad throw on a medium deep fly

to be fair
the astros are playing pretty aggressively and we’re getting some bad defensive plays

I Hate These Guys
Like Pence and Werth that only show up against the Cubs. If you’re going to be good, at least have the balls to do it against everyone else!

I Meant Werth/Pence
when I said “if you’re going to be good…”. It wasn’t a dig at the Cubs.

Houston also won 20
That’s what she meant.

Third hotest team in the league right now or something like that.
right right
my bad Maddie!

thank you both.... :)
That is exactly what I mean. To win 20 games, they must have been good against other teams especially w/ Carlos Lee out

.306 OBP
He’s overrated.

Moving the goalposts?
You said he only performed against the Cubs. Clearly untrue.
I never said he was a star.

I believe the Giants designated him earlier this year.
Someone on the Astros went down with an injury (Marsui?) and they traded for him.
