So far, so good tonight! Can we get a sweep in Tampa Bay?
Yes, the umps calls yesterday were concerning. I know many are old school but I look forward to the MLB pulling the trigger on going full time technology.

We play tampa in like 6 of the next 12 games after last night. Hope we win all of those.

Okert coming in in the 8th to get the leadoff 9th place hitter 0-2 only to proceed to hit him on the back foot was aggravating. Burned Walter's debut as a starter for a win. McCormick getting picked off twice last night only to give up on a short fly ball tonight is another blunder. I sure hope he thanked Pena for the 6-5 fielders choice to record an out on the play.

Opposing teams have to be salivating when they get on base against Houston. Good gravy, Houston pitchers don't even try to change their looks. Back to back nights the Rays execute a double steal. That should be 58 stolen bases versus 5 thrown out on the season.

That didn't end well. Chas has had a tough series.

Are we getting to the point that we just expect Christian Walker to show up two games a month to have good performances at the plate? As he still sits in the cleanup spot. 3 for his last 23 in the last 6 games and 2 of those came on Friday's game against Texas. I've seen this movie before I think.

McCormick better be relegated to the doghouse once again. Baserunning mishaps, can't lay down a sac bunt in crunch time and has a noodle arm.

The bullpen was bound to give up a game or two during this 17 consecutive game run...especially when your 8th and 9th inning guys are unavailable.

Steinbrenner Field feels like the Taj Mahal compared to Tropicana Field, wind be dammed.

I was at the game in Tampa last night and Chas was the worst part of it. Picked off twice in the same game is a hit and a half for your backside. Super rookie mistakes.

McCormick looks like he's playing his way to the living room. Lot of bad baseball in two games. And as said by GG, noodle arm. He wasn't deep on that throw to home and it wasn't close.

Noon game today, then head back to the Cooler.

Chas needs to be gone and so does rogers. He has done nothing. Walker needs to be moved down the lineup as well. And what the heck is going on with Yordan? Is this Tucker 2.0. Espada is Dusty Baker 2.0 without the skins on the wall.

First time Houston has lost a series against Tampa Bay in 6 years. 3 errors on the defense, all three committed by the same guys that hit home runs today. 12 strikeouts vs. 2 walks from the offense.
Forrest Whitley getting a rude welcome back from the IL only getting 2 outs while walking 4 and allowing 3 earned runs.

Seattle coming to Houston for a 4 game set as Ronel Blanco is being examined for elbow soreness. Oh, boy.

My goodness........they surely know how to kill the vibe with the fans! There is just no fire in the belly right now with this team.........and the pitching......especially the relief pitching is downright atrocious most games!
