  3. IDK about this Altuve guy, 0-4 in his first game after the minors does not instill confidence. He may need some more time to cook down in Sugar Land or Galveston.

  4. And with that our Era goes down to 3.32, the 2nd best in the league! We are starting to hit again and have won 5 on a row. Trust the process, we will prevail!

  8. A win is a win I’ll take it! Tuve has some rust to shake off but I’m sure he’ll be back in no time’n

  11. Maldy on base twice. Abreu on base three times. Montero with a no run inning. Meyers on base four times.

    What are we supposed to complain about?

  12. Feels like the big orange choo-choo might be picking up a little steam now. Great to see Altuve back. I know his bat will get going eventually. So happy to have him back out there again tonight.

  13. Abreu probably with his best game of the season drew some good walks and battled in counts

    Tucker is amazing

    Yordan got robbed by about half a foot of wall

    Altuve is gonna take some time to get his grove back

    This is the Jake Meyers I would have expected if the shoulder injury didn’t happen, the dude got so much hate, glad to see he is shutting the city up

    I’m done with julks, he has no plate discipline

    With chas’ record vs lefties he should have been starting in left tonight

    bielak scares me with the amount of traffic he dodges

    Hope to see yainer tomorrow

  14. Once Oakland gets down in a game… they have almost zero weapons to come back. Rooker has been good this season. Ruiz looks decent, but the rest of the team is pretty damn sad

  16. Hitting our stride but are the Rangers legit? I’m waiting for them to cool off but they seem pretty consistent. I know their schedule has been a bit lighter but at some point they might just be good lol

  19. Bielak’s peripherals are absolute dogshit and yet he keeps delivering winnable games through 5. Good enough for me
