Julia Morales 9/25

Julia caught a little splash in Tony Kemps 1st homer celebration. Rough weekend for the Astros seemingly puts them on the outside. Maybe a few more celebrations like this on their last home series will pull my AL pennant pick back into wild card competition.


Couldn't find any published video... frustrating. But I love the expressions in the pictures, worth posting

Julia Morales 5/24

It's been a disappointing and discouraging year for the Astros who after the wild card win last year looked ready to contend for more this year. The slow start kept them from having much to celebrate, but they seem to be slowly getting better and maybe the walk off will spark a streak. 

Julia hasn't had to worry about the powerade much this year, looked like her first step was a little late, combining that with Correa's celebratory hug/protection/hold, she got completely included and soaked in the blue powerade. She picked a good day to wear dark/blue and pants, but how did the white heels come out of it?

Would love to see Root Sports SW/MLB put the Astros post game interviews up to see the full interview/shower/reaction. Relied on twitter and the pictures, but it seems pretty obvious she got pretty wet.

Carlos instigating a new interview tradition, celebratory hug... I'm sure accidentally timed during the Powerade

Julia Morales 5/18

After their great year last year, the Astros have been one of the surprising disappointments which means the gatorade has been kept on the sidelines. I'm sure Julia wasn't missing it too badly, but I'm guessing she would rather have not had the first one come at her on a cool night in Chicago. She missed most of it, but a red shower on an away game is worth recognizing.

"I held in there as long as I could to fake you out." Nicely done, @JuliaMorales.

Julia Morales AL WC clinch

For all the winning Houston did this year, Julia managed to avoid getting soaked too many times from walk off celebrations. In the only real dramatic race coming down to the last day, the Rangers helped the Astros clinch a wild card spot with out needing a tie breaker.

Major props to Julia who valiantly joined the celebration in her dress and heels, bringing some bright color into the locker room full of gray uniforms and T shirts.

Despite efforts to protect her dress, (the poncho seemed to be worthless) the celebration soon soaked her thoroughly. She tried goggles and a hat, but by that time there wasn't much left to keep dry. RootSportsSW doesn't post any videos, so a quick perusing of social media found a few clips/screen captures.

Her clubhouse bathroom selfie on instagram showed/recapped the full extent of the damage and that the poncho didn't help a whole lot. She made it sound like she didn't have time to change before a flight? That's just cruel. And hopefully the dress and heels recover.

Julia Morales 7/23

The Astros walk off and execute a miss of a shower at least from the picture below. Julia posted a photo of the bucket over her, looks like they emptied the rest on her. No luck finding videos, which is too bad if they stopped putting her interviews up on mlb.  She's the most fun interviewer to listen to. Earlier in the series there was another shower in the interview with Vince, looked like she may have caught some of that one as well, but no telling from the pictures.

Julia Morales 6/3

Julia's interview with Lance after his first complete game was interrupted twice with 3 buckets dumped on them. Was Julia's "that was only your first" comment to pull him back for more interview questions or to keep him around for more powerade? Lance summed up their feelings toward the end asking if there was any more coolers left.

The Astros came on heavy with the coolers... with all the winning they've been doing, its surprising Julia has stayed as dry as she has until now. The 3 coolers were too much to dodge as she caught plenty despite a valiant effort to escape:

Julia's interview with Altuve was quickly interrupted with a powerade shower. Although she moved quickly, her dress still caught some of the spray although some of that came later as Springer made sure the cooler was empty, tossing the remaining liquid at her. From her blog:

April wraps up with several showers and reporters managing to mostly avoid heavy soakings. May and warmer weather coming up.

The Astros looking like they'll run away with the cooler cup award with a hot start despite a poor record. They continued this run catching Julia a second time in the first of three coolers on Dominguez after the walk off. They even took a shot a Springer for the game tying homer.
