Astros: Framber Has Great Outing Astros Win

Astros Win Game But Are In Trouble Because of Rosin and Sweat
Ball don’t lie. The Astros get into a sticky situation but walk it off anyway. Ronel Blanco’s glove was checked in the top of the 4th inning and the umps decided that in the middle of his breakout season and in the middle of this game—with all the other hand and glove checks this game and season—this was the moment Blanco decided to get the competitive edge and bring a foreign substance on the field. Blanco and the Astros say that it was a mixture of sweat and rosin. Apparently, sweat and rosin-the one sticky substance the league literally gives you—on your non-pitching hand gives you a competitive advantage when pitching. While we wait for the lab to give us results and await news of suspension, Astros fans everywhere are standing behind Blanco. Let’s beat the allegations and FREE BLANCO! Besides all the drama surrounding the game, this was a dramatic game. So let’s talk baseball and not just about umpires. Also, OF Corey Julks has been traded to the Chicago White Sox for RHP Luis Rodriguez. We’ll miss you Julks. Best of luck!

Astros Panic Meter Vol: II - It’s Late April. Do You Know Where Your Emotions Are?
The Astros have dug themselves a hole and they are going to have to do some serious work to get back to the top of the division, but last we checked here it’s still late April. While the Astros have some issues to fix they are also frustratingly a decent team statistically and obviously were built to go to the playoffs…so what gives?! Good grief, Charlie Browns, what are we gonna do? In this episode Paul updates the official Astros Fan Panic Meter, talks about realistic first base options as the team needs to find wins and can’t cover ANY holes in the lineup as they somehow never find timely hitting. While simultaneously always finding bad luck with two strikes whether on offense or defense. Let’s all just chill a bit and not throw the baby out with the bath water. Hopefully my anti-hot takes will talk some fans back into reality. Don’t listen to all the hate when you can joke around with Space Cadet!
