any chance the guy hitting 083 can come up with a big hit?

 

He's Due!!!!

[Hrbowski]

The Astros' announcers are comparing Fiers to Dwight Gooden. LOL!

[Puckett34]

 

Down by 3, AGAIN!!

As is tradition

[twinssporto]

I spoke too soon....backward K......Sorry guys.  Just trying to stay positive.

I think part of the reason it's getting more difficult to even root for Murphy is that his body language reminds me so much of Brendan Harris throughout his struggles.

[Craig Arko]

John Ryan Murphy, I may have to take my birthday back.

Does Fiers do coke?

[Platoon]

Fried Jawa is pretty good. Not quite as tender as aunt Beru though.

I always wondered what happened to Auntie Beru!

[David HK]

 

 This got me wondering, is there anyway to measure disorder in baseball?

 

Accumulating Molly's twisted lineups and game-decisions could provide key insight into this conundrum.

Missed it by... this much. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

On road rest of night.

 

Will catch up at rest stops...

[David HK]

Just signing on- are we losing yet?

 

Has Molly destroyed the outlook and confidence of a young player yet?

[DiscGolfer]

At what point do they send Murphy down and bring up the other catcher on the 40 man...

 

ohh wait.

Have a safe trip.  I think I'm going out to Crappie fish like last night.  Maybe listen to game on the radio.  It may be more fun to get a treble hook in my thumb.

Jose Altuve is really good. A lot better than I remember... I mean, he's got 8 HRs!

[DiscGolfer]

how soon do we see Moonlight Graham tonight?

[jimmer]

 

Jose Altuve is really good. A lot better than I remember... I mean, he's got 8 HRs!

and he leads the league in doubles and SBs going into today.

[Hrbowski]

Reminds me of Dee Gordon.

I use to think Dozier was the best 2B in the game. 

 

Nope... It's Altuve. 

[twinssporto]

ohh wait.

Seriously, I think you could bring up a kid from A or AA and and do better (at least no worse).

[Hrbowski]

 

I use to think Dozier was the best 2B in the game. 

 

Nope... It's Altuve. 

Nope... It's Logan Forsythe.

[COtwin]

So does this mean Hughes gets sent down?  He didn't even make it to the third before letting up 3 runs. Definitely looks waaaaay more hitable than Meyer.

[jimmer]

 

I use to think Dozier was the best 2B in the game. 

 

Nope... It's Altuve. 

I've always been a big Dozier fan and supporter and even I never thought he was the best 2B in the game.   Not sure he's ever been the best 2B in the division.

[Riverbrian]

I've got a transcript of the Mound Visit

 

Allen: Umm... Stop grooving the baseball if you can

 

Hughes: Yeah... That was pretty much in the happy zone. 

 

Allen: Do I look Happy? 

[David HK]

Wow, just.... wow.  Phil, come on, jeepers.

 

Let's see, what was that 'stop digging' thing that keeps popping into my mind?

[David HK]

 

Reminds me of Dee Gordon. 

They better make him pee in a cup after this game.

[DiscGolfer]

The excuse would be that he still has to work on his defense.  even though Suzuki is the starter.

[Aggies7]

Can someone, anyone, lose their job already? I don't know what THIS is, but it ain't working.

[Hrbowski]

You rarely see Hughes this wild.
