I mean, the offense does average over 5 runs a game so IF the pitchers can hold it here, there is a chance.

[paastrosfan]

Gattis clutch.

[Saint]

Gattis is the man.

[astrosdoug]

Now that the offense is making a game of it, it would be a disservice to bring Keuchel back out. Brad better be getting ready.

No way he doesn't start the inning.

[paastrosfan]

Yes Josh, getting back into the game.

[astrosdoug]

That's an example of one where McCann probably wouldn't have scored from second. Those extra 4 feet/second come in handy in a case like that.

Oops!!!!😳😳😳

[astrosdoug]

we're on pace to see 75 runs scored in this game.

[astrosdoug]

Marwin! Show us why Danny Valencia should not replace you.

[marshall]

# back right away. Maybe this thing will be competitive after all.

Dallas is not going to get better sitting on the bench.

Throw that clip board away Doug.

[astrosdoug]

we saw 65 pitches thrown in the first inning. 35 minutes elapsed. Houston will be eating dinner by the time this game is finished.

[Saint]

Nobody takes a starter out after the first if they let them finish the first. Unless he's hurt.

[Saint]

Altuve makes some very weak looking throws sometimes.

[astrosdoug]

I noticed today that Teoscar is among MLB's Top 10 in terms of putting the barrel of the bat on the ball and making hard contact.

The Astros haven't got a single hitter in the Top 50 on that list.

[paastrosfan]

Nice inning Dallas.

[Saint]

Nice bounce back inning.

[Saint]

Gattis officially has a higher OPS than Springer now.

That might end up being years down the road as one of the bad deadline trades.

The way Dallas was serving up BP there, I thought it would be a good time for an exception to the rule. 

Odds of winning are about 50/50 right now as the Astros tend to outscore a team like the Rays by about two runs over any given 8-inning period. On top of that, the Astros now have 24 outs left while the Rays have only 21 to work with. 

[paastrosfan]

Morales at first, drag one Kemp

Dallas struggles in the first a lot and then settles down. Hopefully that holds true today...

[Saint]

Good Dallas is back.

[m240]

Keuchel has his pitch count back down to 18 per.

Oxymoron...there is nothing good about Dallas.

[m240]

Reddick has sure picked up his pace lately
