Maybe Framber can start pegging guys when they hit a weak grounder with guys in scoring position.

I have taken a wait & see approach with Espada but last night was it for me.

You're locked in a division race and you bring in a guy who hasn't consistently had any command in how long? How do you justify that? What am I missing?

Granted… another night of lifelessness at the plate certainly didn't help.

Lance, I love you man, and I'm forever grateful for you being a core member of the dynasty run, but you are a major liability.

Losing three of your seven/eight man pen in the last month are brutal in the knock on effects on everyone else... especially when they always need to be perfect

Whatever she gets, she deserves.

In the way of ridicule. But she sure didn't deserve to end up with the ball.

Maybe this team doesn't need a new hitting coach but instead a psychologist because they're mentally weak.

I think they just need to quit trying to play 'hero' ball.

They all know the team is scuffling so each time one of them comes up to bat with RISP, they are coming to the plate with a mindset that "I am going to be the one to break this" and they get overly aggressive instead of just taken a calm and cool approach.

Team needs to not practice any baseball in warmups. Just do something completely mind numbing like watch The Hangover or something right up until first pitch. Walk out to field and just play.

All I know is that today… I'm at Kyle field. Will watch an Aggie win, enjoy a nice steak dinner, and some family time.

It'll be a nice mental break from Astros baseball

Hate to say it but this team is beat mentally the minute they get on base. They know how bad the production is and I suspect they are all pressing so hard to score it's making it worse.

This isn't bad luck. It's a mentally whipped team. It's not going to fix itself.

RISP is this year's "win at Minute Maid" or "batter's eye" or <insert other excuse here>.

Something happens, then it happens again, people write about it, the player's press, more is written and it balloons into something bigger than it has any right to be.

They just need to quit trying to be the hero hitting a HR every at bat with RISP. Focus on the situational aspects of hitting to advance runners instead of trying to massacre the ball.

That lady is going to need to crawl under a rock for a long time. The internet never forgets.


I would suggest a haircut but doesn't look like that's an option unless she wants to be Karen G.I. Jane

I wondered what Kurt Warner's wife had been up to.

MLB rules Astros' Taylor Trammell's bat was illegal, did not give him competitive advantage
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6602121/2025/09/05/taylor-trammell-bat-illegal-yankees-astros/

If I worked for the Astros PR, my counter move here would be Taylor Trammell calling Aaron Boone a racist for having a problem with the color of a black man's bat, and then have some sort of veiled reference to Boone having "bat envy".

Of all things to be upset about in last nights game, what happened in the bottom of the 12th isn't one of them.

I like how whoever wins, it will be an Aggie win, so you're technically correct no matter what.

Boone said he had a duty to check, just because the bat didn't meet the coloring requirements....?

Does he call the police on everyone going a few MPH over the speed limit?

Massive difference between this board and the zoo.

Here it's mostly disappointment after a long dissapointing season..

There it's torches and pitchforks before a single whistle is blown.

It would be fun to eliminate all scoring references on a game thread of the zoo then ask a normal person to predict what the score was.
