If you’ve been watching the Astros during Wednesday games this season you may have noticed a slight expansion in Geoff Blum’s vocabulary, and if you’re part of Astros Twitter you may know why.
Back on June 7th Houston was facing off against the Rangers on a balmy evening in Arlington. Gerrit Cole was on the mound twirling a gem while the boys in orange were doing God’s work by tagging up Cole Hamels. Right around the middle of the 6th inning, Blum would get into some friendly banter with a fan about how the word “supple” made it onto the broadcast, which is usually a word better left to the leatherworking industry.
