5 run lead and walk a lefty on lefty leadoff. Interesting.

5-5.

He took that slumpbuster to dinner and let her order everything on the menu. Then kissed her like a gentleman after.

****, she's probably waiting for him in his hotel room.

If Yord actually does head to B'more tonight/tomorrow is it something we'll hear about from the reporters like a leak? How hyped should we be feeling right now, 2015?

O's making some noise

win #70 at last

Looking ahead to the next couple of days, you potentially have three roster moves to make for Yordan, McCullers, and now Kimbrel.

VanWey is clearly one move. I would think Matthews goes back for Yordan.

Who for Kimbrel? I feel like Dubin is important overall to get right for the stretch run, but is also the clear weak link right now. But Dubin has no options. De Los Santos has earned more time. So who do you axe for McCullers?

Holy Frijoles Carlos

Everything in the infield

Been a LONG ASS TIME!!!!

WTF was Correa thinking ..


Good win !

They did it!

Hey, a W

Yahoo!

Good win

Let's take 3/4 of this series or sweep it

Ballgame. We scores. We won. The train was run on the 5 bill slumpbuster and all is right.

And Yordan is coming.

We sat on 69 for a long time

Melton

Clearly I'm good luck. Not for Jose though…

Melton could go down when Yordan returns

Yordan and Altuve will handle LF

Someone has to play CF. It can't be Dubon/Chas every day. They need a LHH option and Melton is it.

Get Meyers back, Melton goes down. Melton and Matthews I have hopes for, but neither are ready this year,

Hey, the Yankees and Red Sox are playing with each other.

McCullerd
Javier
Arrighetti

For the weekend

The 60's were rough. By that I mean, the period we were in the 60 through 69 win phase was rough. Took forever to get to 70.

so Lance on the mound tomorrow

his starts are always entertaining....

one way or the other

Put her on the payroll.

When Yordan hits the warehouse twice it won't matter.

I am sure Crane has access to a plane he can fly on.

Altuve 0-14

And 4 for his last 36. His OPS has dropped from .826 on August 10 to .793 today. He was either 1.3 or 1.2 in bWAR then, so after they factor in today that would mean he's put up an Abreu 2nd season'ish -.5 bWAR in 10 games.

He's pretty streaky with the bat and consistently hurts us in the field (-1.8 dWAR, almost double his prior worst).

He'll get on another heater with the bat before the season is done I suspect. Even with the slump he's still the 2nd best bat still standing on the team by OPS.

Feels good to get the W.

Jesus was good tonight though

If you're up later tonight, stay tuned for Astros Bingo After Dark. Been 3 days since I updated it, work has been good!

Jake was close to a rehab assignment a couple days ago

Garcia has to be close to returning, he's had a few rehab starts already

Paredes is riding a bike after getting the magic shots
