* When you think an Astro is about to hit a home run, comment ‘HRC [Astro]’
* If you get it right, you get a point and another go! Otherwise, wait until tomorrow.
* I’ll monitor successful picks and publish the leaderboard in the GDT before first pitch every day. Let me know if you think I’ve missed you, or if you have any other questions.
I’m happy to count HRCs on the live game chat on [Discord](https://discord.gg/astros) as well, but please stick to the one HRC per game rule regardless of platform (if your username on there isn’t the same as on Reddit I might have to PM you to get it).
This year’s leaderboard can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRXu9bzxDM-H8fiPMPg1JzWvn5dNMkQ3ZI8riMiSVpwLi3WN7AJ1FWsy_Ajqw3VhoH52AKsKPumqVxL/pubhtml)
Last year’s leaderboard is archived [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQjEy8vTsyKmiuRjQEqK0Frp6ZSqelgUKSDwt7hbwiZAUzk0yq0THq9rYUP3cmxNS9_PoizUK-OoMce/pubhtml)
New day, new game. This is a must win game. These past 2 games have been close and could have gone either way, should have gone our way, kinda like the Cincy games.
Let’s hope Altuve is really OK; I’ll believe when I see him playing again.
Framber Valdez vs “Mitch Spence”. Looks like a mismatch on paper. Astros win easy.
This effing team again
oh god, Spence has 5+ hits allowed over his last 4 starts? He’s gonna throw a no-hitter, isn’t he?
The As cannot have more wins from us than they have fans at the game.
I just saw a post that said that we were swept by the A’s in 2017 & 2022… haven’t checked. Anyone wanna confirm? 🤷🏻♀️
Rags have a minor league pitcher making his Major League debut against the Mermaids tonight.
I don’t believe anything this team says about injuries. I hope Altuve is ok.
Doomers, act like you’ve watched a 162 game baseball season before and R-E-L-A-X.
Rangers have been white hot the past couple weeks, so hopefully they can continue against the Mariners. No Seager for them is gonna hurt, but Degrom and Scherzer are both coming back, so hopefully that balances out.
Just please avoid the sweep. It’s like the Orioles series earlier this year: I’m not mad that we lost those games, but _how_ we lost those games.
