The hero throw from Trammell in G1 and Yordan not sliding into second just now are things that are just unacceptable from professional ballplayers, IMO. Just boneheaded. #Astros

Husband and Dad. Lifelong Astros addict. Up the Toffees (Everton FC). Mon the Bully Wee (Clyde FC). Hook 'em Horns. Lover of wine, booze, and music. Just be nice and create joyful noise, but oppose Berzelius Windrip. He's awful.
G1 and G3 of this series, a total of 18 innings so far, the #Astros have 19 hits, 7 walks, and 4 runs scored. They've left 20 men on base.
Ump interpretations bit us in the ass. Allen made no attempt on the bunt and was hit (strike). Gimenez took his hand off of the bat and stuck it over the plate and was hit (awarded first base). And here comes Ty Cobb Straw... #Astros
Dr. Oz, I'd like to introduce you to Rick Scott, the senior United States Senator from the state of Florida.

The good news is that 3 consecutive #Astros starters have completed 6 innings and allowed 3 or fewer runs, which seems rare this season. Y'all know the less good news.
Was just putting together a post to say in the last 12 games, including today, Jose Altuve is hitting .326 but with no power (at all). Little Boss put me in my place with that swing. As he should. #Astros
A fun email created on a sleepless night turned into an article, thanks to @mhatter106.bsky.social and @launchanglehou.bsky.social. I'm no @orangefire.bsky.social as a writer but appreciate any feedback on the thoughts... 😀 launch-angle.com/2026/08/04/d...
Dodgers vs. Astros: Comparing a Decade of Top 100 Prospect List Representation
In the updated 2026 Top 100 Prospects from Fangraphs’ The Board, the Dodgers had 6 players on the list. The Astros had one: Kevin Alvarez. That’s not unusual. Over the last 10 years, th…

Checked in on Asheville, and Ethan Frey hit a go-ahead 3-run homer (9) in the top of the ninth for the game winner. Xavier Neyens continues his free passapalooza. He walked 2 more times to give him 96 in 82 games. He is now tied for the lead among all players in any league this year. #Astros
Hate this, but that Dodger kid, Josue De Paula, is a bad, bad young man.
We got Ty Cobb Straw out. Feelin' pretty good about this game. #Astros
Don't understand the aggressive send there, coach. #Astros
6 innings from Javier and at least 6 from Wesneski. Let us pray, oh gods of baseball, that our rotation is healing. #Astros
With that single, Jose Altuve has tied HoFers David Ortiz and Ted Simmons at #105 on the all-time hits list (2472).
Call me Nash@callmenash.bsky.social · 20h agoWith that single, Jose Altuve has tied HoFer Ducky Medwick for #107 on the all-time hits list (2471). #Astros
Did we trade for the wrong CFer? WTF has gotten into Myles Straw?? #Astros

Since returning from injury rehab in FLA, Walker Janek, including today's game so far, is hitting .439/.500/.780 in 46 PA. He's also stolen 10 bases. #Astros
I just found out Better Than Ezra are coming to town and I am not able to attend. This is displeasing in the extreme.
Oh, indeed you do have an alternative, oven baked brisket Johnny. You may recall it's what GOP voters told you when you asked for their vote to be the party's nominee. They said to you, as you should say to Ghislaine's buddy Todd... "no."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃
Yamtits calls the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro a war with Venezuela. Were there significant casualties?? Utter clowns.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."
Really tough loss tonight. Pitching was very solid to great. Defense screwed up a basic play that cost a run, and the bats wasted a bazillion opportunities. Sucks. #Astros
My goodness. May he pitch like this the rest of the season. #Astros

10 hits, 5 walks, and 1 run. This is double plus ungood. #Astros

Our son's life partner is from Arlington and a legit Mall Cops fan. I don't blame her. She's really pretty great, everything else considered. I failed as a father.

6 innings and what should be 2 runs allowed outta Javier, I'd take every time. Gladly. #Astros
A round in 70? Dude played a HOLE in 70.
