A BUC 77

That was outstanding outing Framber had last night. I know the Rangers are also in a slump, but to almost no hit them is amazing. Yordan hr was exactly what he needed. Maybe this will spark the Stros back to where they were. Coach is messing with the lineup to try to ignite something. People are bunting in situations that not normal for them. They are trying to find that momentum button.

Left the bases loaded three times last night. Yordan needs to get back on track.

Well, we got a starter. It came with a high price. Kikuchi is a hard thrower and can strike out a bunch of guys but he's not having a good year. They say his ERA is blown out of proportion a little. We'll see if the pitching coach can do some tweaking.

Sorry to hear. Prayers for the family.

I don't know what they will do with Tucker when he returns. Loperfido is hot. HR and a triple last night. Jake and Chas are doing great as well.

3 games over .500. Excellent come back. Now, just stay the course.

I think if they all do their jobs like they're supposed to do, they don't need anyone else. Bullpen maybe they're only weakness. Singleton is doing his job. Need Tucker back. Hader should be a closer in the 9th and that's it. Too many leadoff doubles getting stranded.

Espada said bunting against that pitcher throwing upper 90's would be tough. But I'm with you. Bunt the ball. My dad was jumping in his grave.

That was that ump's first time behind the plate.

We'll see.

Pressly looked good last night. Maybe the clean cut will turn his luck.

I'm glad it was too late for me to stay up.

Pressly and Hader need to pick it up. They are getting paid pretty dang good. Both gave up 2 runs yesterday to the Angels. A team with a worse record than them.

Nope.

That's right. Last day and all. Just wanted to make sure.

Got my tickets last night. Was there an option to buy the PNG game tickets as well? It was a little misleading.

Good luck OF.

Sounds positive to me. Especially the tackling. Go Dogs!

Old Chinese proverb, "we'll see."

We'll see.

InWell he was vetted by some football savvy guys. If they didn’t think he’s got what it takes he wouldn’t be there. Nothing in sports is certain but so far so good in my opinion.

I heard it was a lot of rice and gravy.

I like him already and I haven't even met him. Everyone must buy what he's selling.

Any updates on Coach Rich's plans, hires, fires, type of offence, defense? Is there any chatter about the kids being motivated?

Altuve deserves it. He stuck it out during the lean year's starting in 2011. I see greatness in Dubon. Hopefully I’m a profit. He had a great start last year but settled down. I would like to see him more than a year.
