Thatā€™s a huge win, as big as a win on July 2nd can get. Thatā€™s a minimum of a 2-game swing in the standings.

Solid win today, go for the series win Monday

Huge win. Dubin held his own.

I want to see the umpire scorecard ā€” that half inning was brutal (in our favor).

It might be, but today he looked pretty good after giving up the 2 run homer. It just took him a while to get on track.

Iā€™m glad those idiots got an Altuve homer stuffed down their throats.

Could it be he is getting a bit tired? He has not had this role before for an entire season.

I donā€™t know if he is tired. Is that what you are thinking? When it comes to matters of baseball, particularly pitching, I trust your instincts much more than mine.

Heck, I do not know. What I do know is he is not ā€œfucking around.ā€ Every inning he pitches is high leverage, high pressure, and he is being used often. I do not know if he is tired, but I would not be surprised if I learned he is.

Damn today is a good day. Astros win. Ribs look fantastic, beans, coleslaw, and Mrs Hawk made a good looking fruit pizza with fresh peaches.

I feel good!

Great win. Now add Alvarez and Brantleyā€¦.

I feel bad for Alvarez. He was on his way to a monster season.

Oh, I see. You didnā€™t like my game zone description of his pitching ups and downs. Sorry but ā€œfucking aroundā€ gets playfully tossed around a bit on here. Hell, Iā€™ve seen you say as much about Altuve. Anyone with a brain knows Abreu was trying his best to get outs.

This is a huge point in the season. If they can keep pace and get reasonably healthy again, they can make a run.

Yep.

I do not think I ever said he was ā€œfucking aroundā€ because that implies not trying. I have been intensely critical of his approach and lack of strike zone discipline.

I chuckled at your citing usage in the GZ.
