    Any of you stat nerds....er, guys know what our record is when we score in the top of the 1st on the road? Seems like every time we do:

    1. We don't score again
    2. We lose the game

    Whelp. Should have known that blast in the first would probably be one and done...

    Prove me wrong.

    What do you know, we can pick off a runner...

    batting bottom 5
    pitching top 5 (however, with all the injuries piling up, most likely they'll end up in the middle soon)

    what do you get? the mid-est team

    LMFAO The Rays don't care... everyone is running.

    I now expect when the Astros walk a batter, that the hitter will hustle down to first, make a sharp turn and keep going past second and to third base.

    Hard to have balls when you're hacking at the first pitch half the time.

    Altuve-esque recklessly that would work because we don't have Andy Pettitte to stop this.

    We will be 25-24 after today - I wonder if we can get to the 1/3 of the season mark at 27-27

    Given who we are rolling out against Seattle, we easily can lose 3 out of 4 to them. Then Brown in a bounce back start against Oakland to get a W…that will put us at 27-27. Very possible outcome.

    "2 walks and a 3-run HR" vs "walk, SB, SB, bouncer up the middle, IF single, SB, SB, etc..."
