Baseball games involving the Astros

Pretty selfish of Yordan, taking 33% of the ribbies in the Astros postseason all for himself.

Iā€™m encouraged by the Astros offensive numbers in Arlington but the pitching has to be up to the task. Urquidy and Javier have shown in the past they can handle these kinds of situations - so that too, is encouraging, One game at a time. Win tomorrow, then prepare for the next.

Jose Abreu has another third. Which isnā€™t leaving much for anyone else.

Bregman now has 17 post season HR, 15 of them against all-star pitchers.

Scherzer is an 8 time all-star.

Iā€™ll leave it there.

Iā€™ve just been reminded, Iā€™m going to see Peter Gabriel tomorrow night. Seeing him is on her bucket list so Iā€™m stuck.

Heard the word today from Dusty that Tucker will get moved down in the lineup. Since his two home runs in Game 1 of last years World Series, Tucker is 3 for 41 in the Postseason with two runs batted in. So far this Postseason heā€™s hitting a cool .091 and slugging .136. Thatā€™s your cleanup hitter.

Great Caesarā€™s ghost! I had no idea it was that bad

Incredibly bad. I had no idea.

Bad enough I wonder if heā€™s got some discomfort that theyā€™re staying mum about.

Heā€™s been slumping for 2+ months. He just mixed in enough HRs in Aug/Sept to keep up appearances.

Dusty didnā€™t say. Just said heā€™s gonna move him down ā€œtemporarilyā€ to try to take some pressure off him. He didnā€™t say where, but Iā€™m guessing 5th or 6th. Heā€™s hit a few balls hard with nothing to show. But heā€™s generally been spectacularly awful.

Peter Gabriel is fucking amazing. Enjoy.

Well, they made the trip to Globe Life. May as well crush some Ranger dreams.

Decided to add some hopefully good mojo to the uniform for our flight to Lihue this morning.

Beat the arlington mouth-breathers.

Letā€™s go Astros.

Anyone familiar with how that affects things there?

Just makes it look like an open backyard BBQ grill now.

Hopefully the Astros will be sizzling.

Versus a closed one the rest of the time?

Itā€™s important to manage flare ups.
