41-21 final. LU moves to 4-1 in the SLC and 5-4 overall. 
Tough game next week at Nicholls then wrap up regular season at home against McNeese.  

He should veto it then 

Well I know it is just an exhibition game but took overtime to edge St. Thomas  71-70

LU falls 17-7. Two empty red zone trips, but also UIW nearly doubled Lamar with 459 total yards to 248.    Overall a decent showing against a highly ranked team. 

I got the Stros in 6

Agree
Dak is a weak link on this team. You just hope he doesn't do something stupid. Missed the one TD when he overthrew TE and could have just lobbed and also had wide open receiver on other side of field. He is terrible at progressions.
When Jets spread out their offense it made the defense look somewhat vulnerable. Even near the end of the game Diggs was beaten badly on one route but the Jets QB poor throw allowed the free safety to come over and make a pick.

😆

Chas should be an everyday player. He has excellent defense and is probably the most clutch hitter we have. Likewise, Yainer Diaz should be in the lineup daily. The weakest link in today's batting lineup is Jose Abreu.
Our biggest overall problem right now seems to be starting pitching.

I’ve always been a Dusty defender, but I don’t think I can do it anymore. He tinkers with the lineups way too much; keeping the better bats on the bench way too much. Absolutely cannot be doing that this late in the season during a division title race this close. 

was told yesterday that Coach Butch Troy passed away he was 82. Prayers to our neighbors across the tracks and to his friends and family

Those had styles? 😂

I think the pressure on Framber is less now. He had a much better season last year knowing that he didn't have to shoulder so much load. This is what adding a Verlander type can do. And as a result he had the best game of his career. They call it Maddox when it's less than 100 pitches. Only took him 93 pitches and faced the minimum 27 batters. Only 1 walk.

Great outing by Valdez. He wants to show he is still ace of the staff. Encouraging that Brown and him both had good outings their last starts. Hopefully we can get Javier back  to being his old self again.

France might be the team's MVP so far this season.

Chas needs to be starting everyday and Meyers needs to be sent down. 

….and the defending World Series Champions end their road trip with a 6-3 record. Alvarez and Altuve may both be healthy for the next series. Astro have been doing very well. I’d like to see any other team lose two starting pitchers, their All Star second baseman/leadoff hitter and spark plug, plus the best player in baseball and still hold steady. What an amazing team this really is. So fun to watch.

After nightmare loss last night, miracle win today. Not sure what to think of Astros right now. Pitching looks pretty worn even though Javier was a little better today than his last outings. Bullpen exhausted.

Astros being aired on espn. Not crazy about that because of their woke crap, but I guess I’ll tune in. Guess they couldn’t get a Yankee/Red Sox game. 😂 

Astros came through Friday night with a 7-5 win. Pitching is starting to leak oil pretty bad.
Waiting for some of our players to come off the injured list and see what all the teams do by the trade deadline.

Yes, we not only need their bat potential, but the spark they give to the rest of the team.
I have to give credit to the Mariners. They pitched very well in all 4 games, they stole bases, and put together hits to produce runs. Astros looked like deer in the headlights. Need to get healthy. I believe in this team. They will get it together.

Yep if he didn't get out of that jam we probably would have been swept in this series.
Offense only scored 6 runs on 19 hits in four games. Pitching not that bad except for Friday. No offense puts a lot of pressure on our pitchers. Hopefully, Altuve and Alvarez are back soon and that should aid the offense.
At this point, two games behind going into the all-star break actually feels like a positive.

Well my Astros finally decided they can beat the Mariners. An unlikely hero won this game for us. Maldonado hit a solo shot with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th to break a 2-2 tie. Pressley gets his 20th save and and hopefully we can split the series tomorrow.

That's a typical Blanco outing. He has given up two home runs his last  five outings and he's a little wild too. Still he only gave up three runs...Astros just couldn't do anything offensively except Julks.
Face Castillo tomorrow another pretty tough pitcher. Wish they would bench Maldonado and let Diaz play on the field and use another better hitter to DH. Dusty won't do that though.

Fat lady has sung.  "See" you folks next year.  

Looks like this is exactly what is about to happen. UIW adding to lead in top of 9th.
