[bannedfan]

Sacks juiced for Jose. No DP please.

[bannedfan]

What was that?😩

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

Boom!

[Deleted]

Thank you Correa!

[bannedfan]

Carlos👍

[Deleted]

Marwin stays hot!

[bannedfan]

Margo! 3-0.

[bannedfan]

Valdez seems to have control issues.

[bannedfan]

Why are you bunting there Young? Thanks.

[astrosdoug]

that was almost as dumb as Gattis's triple play

A succesful bunt would have scored a run, tsk tsk.

Even I don’t understand the bunt by EY Jr. What would that have accomplished?

Yeah that was a dumb move by EY Jr. I was referring to Kemp earlier even though we did end up scoring three.

Valdez got the best of Trout there.

Kemp should bunt for more hits, not just sacrifice. Altuve too.

[bannedfan]

Nice pick Altuve!

[unionstation82]

Does Framber have enough in the tank for a win?

[bannedfan]

Nice run and catch Reddick.

[unionstation82]

Framber Valdez, by the way, is the first Astro to debut in relief and get a win since Don Wilson back in 1966.

[unionstation82]

Bregman puts up such great AB’s. It’d just be silly to put Springer back at leadoff.

I’d bat Springer 5th, 6th or even 7th.

[bannedfan]

Bregman OBP .386.
Springer OBP .333.

[bannedfan]

Oakland wins.

Seattle losing 5-1 in the 5th.

Correa swings at ball 4.

[blcoach8]

Correa follows a great at bat by another one that was terrible. Getting a 3-0 count, taking two strikes and then then striking out on a pitch not close to the zone is terrible. So far, Valdez looks good again.

[koolade2]

Framer getting a little wild here. He needs to settle down and get thru the inning for the Win.

[Deleted]

Angels on the board now.

[bannedfan]

Wild as a stray cat.

[bannedfan]

Got thru 5. Need more runs.

Valdez has promise if he can get a grip on his control.

Shouldn’t have scored because Framber had a play at the plate but instead tried to start an impossible double play.

I don’t get his approach.

[koolade2]

gattis still isn't stepping up. Need to find something to wake his bat up
