The Real Deal!

[Bonda @BenOndaTop]

A lot of special stuff from @JustinVerlander in Detroit today. I totally understand the love they have for him because of the magic he brought to that city.

But, this is the magic he brought to mine.

Houston LITERALLY loves you forever, legend.

@BenOndaTop Damn, I know hindsight is 20/20, but I feel like we had a better chance to win with Allen at SS and Pena on the bench with his recent injury.

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@Astrogoony @BenOndaTop You just said it yourself. Our starters can’t go 6 innings. Bullpen is gassed. HONESTLY, who do you trust in that situation. Blame Espada but he didn’t botch a routine DP or miss a scoop (ESock).

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@BenOndaTop Abreu with the top of the order in the 9th. I’m nervous. Stupid AAA park

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@CoogForLife @brianmctaggart @H_Town24 I get what you're saying. I'd rather have Hader come in with no runners on though. Especially, if he pitched the way he did last night. Abreu has been better as of late, but with his track record this year, I still trust Hader more in that situation.

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@CoogForLife @brianmctaggart @H_Town24 If Joe kept Abreu in for the 9th and he blew it. I’m sure you’d still be calling him a moron. I’m more upset at Joe for his PH moves. Yainer should have been driven in. On 3rd with one out

@sapapple1 @Rayanhope7 @ChristisKing738 @Camsiyonna1 I didn’t even look at her bio. Should have before wasting my time lol

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@Rayanhope7 @ChristisKing738 @Camsiyonna1 Are you implying there are no Native American’s left in the US?

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@Rayanhope7 @ChristisKing738 @Camsiyonna1 Different groups and empires have controlled all those lands…please do some research. People have been fighting over land and resources since the beginning of time.

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@Rayanhope7 @ChristisKing738 @Camsiyonna1 lol I didn’t go to anyone’s land and claim anything. Can’t you agree that EVERY land has been conquered and changed hands? There is no stolen land. That’s the point I’m making. Spain and Mexico stole land from the Natives just as much as American settlers did.

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@Rayanhope7 @ChristisKing738 @Camsiyonna1 You’re wrong. France sent settlers to present day Nova Scotia, not Louisiana.
Mexico was ruled by Spain as a colonial territory for 300 years. Mexico was around in the 1800s. Are you implying that only English settlers did horrible things to Native Americans?

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@Rayanhope7 @ChristisKing738 @Camsiyonna1 From Spain?? Actually no my ancestors didn’t. We were kicked out of France and then Canada. Settled in Louisiana.
Spain and Mexico stole the land from Native Americans. They invited American settlers to deal with these feared and violent tribes. Open a book

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@Rayanhope7 @ChristisKing738 @Camsiyonna1 In Texas, the Spanish owned the land from 1690-1821. Then Mexico from 1821-1836. Mexico offered American settlers large, inexpensive tracts of land to create a buffer zone against Native Americans. Specifically, the Comanches who were the most feared tribe.

@GuantanamoBill Lol you blame it all on Walker bc he’s always been a streaky power hitter with a gold glove? What about the rest of the lineup? They doing their job?

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@_ASTR0SFANB0Y @HOUAstrosHQ Really? He had a 10 game hit streak a month ago and was a triple away from a cycle about 3 weeks back.

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@ApolloDez1 He’s always been a streaky power hitter with great defense. Everyone puts him under a microscope bc of his contract. He’s not been great, but I feel like he’s the scape goat when almost the entire offense goes MIA most nights.

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@HOUAstrosHQ I meant when most of the offense DOESNT show up besides 1 or 2 players*

[The Real Deal! @ChrisCormier91]

@HOUAstrosHQ I love how Walker is always the one player called out when almost the entire offense besides 1 or 2 players shows up most games.
Walker wasn’t signed to be a .300 average hitter. He’s a streaky, power hitter with (3x) gold glove defense
