I just need a run-producer hitting in the middle of this lineup. A guy slugging .600 hitting fourth or fifth sure would look good.
Altuve with a 2-out single.
Agreed, but if you’re talking about career peak and not just Astros, it’s hard to argue against Morgan
That’s Altuve’s 2,300th hit. He’s 14 shy of Bagwell for second on the franchise list.
I was assuming years with the Astros, but 1976 Morgan is hard to beat.
Good opportunity to not suck a donkey’s ball(s).
Yainer walks…two on, two out for Walker…
Booth just said that’s Yainer’s 2nd 3-0 count and 1st 4-pitch walk of the season
Walker with a 2-run double!
Well, that two out double ought to help his cause a bit. Nice way to drive in two runs.
“Who are those guys?”
With that two out, two run double, the Walker and Mendoza Lines coincide.
Walker now 30 RBI in the season. Four of them have come in the last three innings.
End of three…5-0 Astros
That was a pretty good grab by Vargas to end the inning.
Gusto gives up a leadoff double.
Gusto works around the leadoff double. Middle of four…5-0 Astros
Smith with a 1-out double
Melton gets abused again. This is ugly.
LOL at Dana Brown on Melton, after praising his defense and speed “…and every now and then he’ll get a hit”
