Tony Kemp is earning his right to play on this team

Agreed. I can't figure out why they continue to put Jake Marisnick in the line-up. I actually like the guy and enjoyed getting to watch him last year, but just stop it already. 122 at bats, 20 hits, 59 strikeouts and 4 walks. It's almost an automatic out. Just stop it already. Marisnick and Fisher just look like they may not have it and Reddick is struggling. It's time for Tucker to get some swings and see what he can do.

I'm at Coors Field. Partly cloudy with a chance of rain. Astros won 8-2 last night. Having a wonderful time. People very polite here. Tried to upload a pic. Too many MPs.

Morton and that vicious curveball going tonight. 

Go Stros!

Were you the one that interfered with the Bregman triple?

Man this thing goes dead as hell when the Astros are losing. Talk about some fair weather fans. Pretty ridiculous.

 

Not a fair weather fan at all. I watched the Rangers and Mariners sweep my Stros. In between, we won 6 pf 7. That,s where my post above came in. Now, nothing to report worth discussing. We desperately need Springer and Altuve. Closing pitching cannot hold a lead either. Those are heart breakers.

Houston is relying 100% on great pitching. How long can the staff sustain it? I think you have seen them come back down to Earth, consequently Houston went on a massive losing streak. Why? Because they are trash. Guys had absolute career years and moments. This year, different story. Marisnick...garbage, Marwin...trash...Reddick...doo do... The only player on this roster who is not underachieving is Bregman. Correa, check the numbers. way down. Altuve is hitting 300+...yeah check the power numbers, way down, even before the DL stint. Gattis.....Great for a series, trash for a month. Verlander, getting hit harder than women at Osuna's bday party. just absolute trash. They getting even shake off Oakland for crying out loud. OOOOAAAKKKKLLLAAANNNDDD. Name 3 players on that team, its just sad how fast a team can fall into the dumpster.

Leading division, 30 games above .500 is being in a dumpster? I'll live in that dumpster.

You sound like a tool.

Man, Osuna couldn't punch out the A's in the 9th. Shame, I thought he was hitting his spots effectively. Sometimes hitters just slap the ball around and there is nothing you can do about it. It's all good, he will have another opportunity to beat them tonight. 

I know it is still a bit early, but I say tonight is a must win. Don't want to leave this series tied.

    • Here is the facebook post for y'all   I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!
    • Only if you ignore the Constitution. I get the sentiment but I sometimes ponder when others may say, “We always support the Constitution”, “The Constitution has to be followed as the law of the land”, etc.  When in reality they mean, “I LOVE THE CONSTITUTION……. except the parts I don’t like”. There are certainly parts of the Constitution that I would change if I had the option.
