Everyone was getting on base the first 2 innings, great pitching by Cosart at the beginning, and then just a good game all around afterward

McGibblets, what's this Sipp/Williams/Sipp thing?

#TDFW!

Always great to take game 1. 18th appearance since Qualls has given up a run. TD4W!

Lights out Qualls

TD4W

Another Astros win. Let's keep this going boys.

Yuhhhh #TD4W

Astros have not passed the Rangers in record, but they got them in run differential after tonight.


Astros -38
Rangers -41

Shano - Sipp went to RF while Williams came in to face a righty. After the BB, Sipp went back to the mound to face a lefty.

#TD4W Yo

Speaking of Williams...why do we continue to let him pitch?

^^

Injuries to everyone else. So ready to see him DFA'd

Williams has alot of value on this team. With a bunch of young guys that we are trying to protect we need a guy whose arm is of no concern to us. Great to throw him up or down a bunch but every so often you have to put him in a close game.

Bo Porter on Tony Sipp:

He's a power shagger.

I still can't stand bo's obsession with the lefty righty decisions.. but over the last couple of games he has done a better job of micro managing early and letting them go late. That last inning would have likely added 1-2 runs on without fantastic defense or with smarter decisions.. and we didn't have to bunt, hit and run, or force ourselves into situations. It was just classic baseball and clutch hitting.

Now with grossman, presley, and villar up.. I can see trying to force something. But I'm glad he got out of the way for the top of the order.

In other words.. I'm slowly starting to maybe want to wait one more year before biggie takes over.

Bring in Biggio in 2016 with the talent that we'll have up at that point...#TD4W

Bring on the proxys!

Biggio

Manny Machado only being suspended 5 games

No springer today again

We're playing the Diamondbacks... Hopefully we don't need him...

It makes total sense that those that would want to watch the Astros play can't because CSN sucks and they are subject to blackout rules...

blackout

The last three times the Astros have been the free game of the day I've been able to watch just fine. No proxy needed.

Thank God the Astros moved to the American League. Watching Peacock try to bunt was painful.

Use zenmate on chrome to get around the blackout.

That worked

I couldn't get the zenmate to work. It downloaded and it appears it should be working, but still says I'm blacked out. Either way, I'm ok since I just stream them online anyways

Singleton 3 for 3.

Anyone see his double? Said it was to "deep" right field? Wonder if it almost got out.

Peacock with 6 strong so far, only given up 3 hits
