Maybe they should play all of their games on the road...ugly start so far tonight.

Let's give up more infield hits, that's a fun strategy.

Fell asleep when it was tied 2-2, woke up this morning to see that Altuve had the game winning hit.

They are kicking ass so far. Sucks Lowrie got hurt and is out until July, but fun to see them playing well and winning!

Holy crap Villar is awful, please send him back down. That Correa guy is pretty good, why not go ahead and give him a shot instead.

Well, so much for that 5 run lead they had going into the inning.

Gattis, you beautiful bearded bastard you!

He got off to such a terrible start to the season but he's tearing the ball up now. 7-6 Disastros!

Our Dallas is frikkin' awesome and fun to watch. Struck out the side like it was nothing.

Make that two sides in a row!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit, Feldman you mudda fudda you!

Let's not start a streak in the opposite direction, fellas.

Might be another rough one tonight:

"Lewis has a 1.95 ERA in his career against the Astros. That is the 14th best all time among pitchers with at least five starts and 50 innings pitched against them."

Hope Deduno gives us a good start(Feldman was awful last night), but the bats need to wake up! Springer is out of the lineup tonight, hopefully he won't need to go on the DL.

Can't let the Rangers come in here and get a sweep, damnit!

:banghead:

So much for getting a good start tonight, lol.

Well, it's nice to see that Springer is back in action tonight. I hope he can help get something going in this otherwise totally useless offense lately.

Oh wait, he struck out swinging again.

-.-

RaoulDuke79 · Post #33 » by **RaoulDuke79** » Thu May 14, 2015 3:25 am

Oh wait, he hit a HR that turned out to be the game winner.

-.^

Awesome, Feldman with another predictably crappy start! Might have to score 10 runs tonight to win this one.

RaoulDuke79 · Post #35 » by **RaoulDuke79** » Sun May 17, 2015 12:56 am

To his credit he has been solid since the terrible 1st inning, hopefully the bats can tie it up or take the lead here with the middle of the lineup coming up.

Springer strikes out swinging again...

Carter and Gonzalez come through with a couple big HR's in a 4-run inning to give them a 6-3 lead! Beautiful chile con queso.

Feldman got it going now, maybe he just needs to skip the 1st inning from now on. 112 pitches now though, probably about time to go to the pen.

Encarnacion makes it interesting with his 2-run shot in the 9th, but not enough to steal the win.

With McHugh going tomorrow we actually have a decent shot at a 4 game sweep(and a 5 game win streak).

Zzz...

Well, after the pathetic showing the Rockets had last night, at least the Astros(2nd best record in baseball!) have a chance to get a split with the Tigers today.

Sigh, **** Rockets...
