Feldman has allowed 4 runs, plus a runner cut down at the plate by Marisnick, and is not yet out of the first.

Corporal thrown out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt. But that escalated quickly. Feldman only retires one batter while giving up a shitload of extra base hits and Astros trail 4-0 before their first at bat.

B2:

Carter flies out F9
Marwin singles to LF
Marisnick strikes out
Castro doubles off the LF line, Marwin stops and breaks it down and strolls nonchalantly into the 3B bag as the left fielder kicks it.  Marwin still inexcusably at 3B.
Grossman walks to load the bases with 2 out.
Altuve hits a tapper back to the mound, out 1-3.

Astros leave the bases drunk and still trail 4-1.

Astros have no one in the pen, apparently Hinch has already written this one off and told Felman he'll have to take a beating for the team.

Chapman up in the Astros pen, as Feldman is now over 70 pitches in getting 5 outs, two of them on the bases.

The rest might be good for Springer.  I think he needs to relax in order to start producing at the plate and I hope the time is more precautionary than necessary.
