[Official] Astros @ Cardinals

Frambers gotta go.

 

Contreras blows

 

Everyone knows this, but:

Which position player would you rather be on the mound right now?

 

Astros 3-4 in games started by Valdez and Brown.

We need to win 2/3 of these games to have a chance at a successful season.

No Bueno.

 

Didn't say I cared that he’s pitching. I merely said he blows.

 

About to finally watch Bone Tomahawk.

any good?

go stros

 

Brendan didn't need a hip replacement !!!

Maybe not 110, but he made good contact with lift

OUT

Eta: add another bloop hit to STL's tally

 

Starts slow, amps up, then goes completely apesh!t

Good movie.

He's (the writer/director) got a couple of other ones that are very fun and worth a watch if you don't mind some violence: Brawl in Cell Block 99, and Dragged Across Concrete

 

It’s a long season, but right now it’s hard to imagine this team in the playoffs. The subtractions in the off-season limits how much mediocrity and demands more consistent stud performances from a few individuals in the lineup

 

Been a minute since I saw it, but the word ‘INTENSE’ is flashing in the recesses of my memory

 

At least Sousa and Contreras saved the bully a little bit without much damage -- 4 IP / 1 Run

Next, I'd like to avoid the shutout

 

This underachieving offense hasn't been shutout this season.

Sad jalapena popper.

 

The obligatory "won't make a difference" HR.....

 

Pena traded to the Cardinals, confirmed!

 

Framber isn’t an ace.

 

Yeah, you know he's gonna average about 30 starts and 200 IP, 6 innings a game over the course of a season, but you just never know which Framber (good Framber vs bad Framber) will show up on a game-to-game basis.

 

team has yet to string together 2 consecutive wins.

impressive really

 

Highest OPS -- not Altuve

1st Paredes
2nd Altuve
3rd.....

Spoiler

Two players above a measly .700

Half the team is below .600

We're not bottom 5 (entering today), so at least there's that.

I went to the top and spent my time trying to figure out the engineering that keeps the car relatively level. It was cramped for a 6'2" guy, so I had no desire to go back even if I ever went back to St, Louis. I honestly don't even remember why I was there. Probably business.
