I'm saddened that Tucker is doing literally **** since being called up. I pray without ceasing he picks it up soon.

OK wrong word, frustrated when we hit into double plays.

Fortunately not too many of those these days

We hit into more double plays than any other team. Least we did last time I checked.

Seems like less when we hold the other guy to 1 run

Nice win!

I'm ready for Correa to come back

Tremendous victory

Sad for Yuli though, that ended his hit streak. Oh well, start another one tomorrow

Wow.

Did not see that coming. Hope they get the bed****ting out of the way now rather than in September.

Very satisfying 10th inning against the Rockies, complete with another Springer Dinger

Look at this.

It's not a stat really, but this is the most clutch team I've seen in a while. Call it luck or whatever, old schoolers would call it "timely hitting"

The Astros have been by far the unluckiest team in baseball, in respect to Expected W-L record vs. Actual W-L record. They have won 7 fewer games than expected. The Dodgers have won 5 fewer, for the 2nd unluckiest team.

But yes, last night's win was a boat load of fun.

I was listening to the game last night and when it went to the 10th I said, "All right, boys, go out and get six runs!" You're welcome.

Yep. I think the biggest at bat of the inning wasn't even an at bat. It was Stassi's walk. Wade Davis was nasty to Max. Most players would have struck out there. After that walk, I felt really good.

Loved the Reddick and Tony Kemp at bats as well, and TED's huge 2 rbi triple to open up the game.

To quantify it, yes. This team continues to lose more 1-run games. Lack of timely hitting again.

yeah, it really bugs me that fan interference at their park was called to deny Bregman a triple.

Well, I can't say I truly blame him he was doing what any fan probably would, but you'd think the guys up in New York would have considered the fact that Parra was jumping out of a backpedal to try and catch it, Breggy was right on that point.

Oh well. On to embarrass the Rangers again.

I can't complain. All we gave up was a Single A pitching prospect? Basically, a modern day Ausmus. Can't hit but is a heck of a defensive catcher. Gonna make it even harder to score on us.

I'll take it. Wouldn't be able to get any offense out of a catcher unless we traded for Realmuto, which the Marlins would probably be asking for a lot.

I knew the Pitchers weren't happy with Stassi behind the plate.... too many wrong signals and passed balls.... and lately his hitting hasn't made him worth it.... McCann is out for at least another month, and at his age, there is no guarantee how good he will be coming back.... so, good move

Where did you hear that? Verlander doesn't really mesh well with Stassi, but he's the best bat we have at the 2.

there have been more cross ups and conferences since he has been the #1 and I've seen several of the starters look frustrated him... Morton definitely was last night....

it's tough to replace a guy the quality of McCann with a veteran pitching staff

So your own observances, ok.

It is tough to replace his leadership. I don't think it's hard to replace his production.

This trade wasn't due to Stassi. It was due to Federowicz.
