Why is Hensley in the lineup you ask?

Well maybe it’s because one of his best qualities is working the count; and, because Langeliers is going to be behind the dish for Oakland tonight.

Wasn’t The Langeliers a cheesy '80s mini series about an airliner going through a time warp?

(Checks his notes.)

Ah, The Langoliers.

Tomato, tomatoe :man_shrugging:

I’ll really narrow it down for you: it was that bad 80s/90s Stephen King adaptation.

Yep, that was the one!

Suck.

Tucker puts Houston ahead in the 1st, 1-0

Framber gets to take the hill with a lead

Kemp continues to kill the Stros

I hope not to have my patience tested tonight.

Good luck with that

Too Close, suck it Kemp

Framber works his way out of a leadoff double, Astros lead after 1, 1-0

Lead off single for Chas

I had high hopes for Hensley, but nope

I’m glad Tuck got that homer, at least

We’re all glad he did too.
