Marwin finally getting a start, wish Valbuena was who he was replacing though.

Tucker, one of the only guys actually hitting, sits once again.

How the fuck is this offense this bad with Altuve at the top?

Battle of the second basemen.

Navin R Johnson · « **Reply #6 on:** April 27, 2016, 09:28:11 pm »

From Tags;
Marwin Gonzalez, starting today at 1B, is 8-for-14 with a homer in his career versus Iwakuma.

McHugh continues the effort to lower the first inning ERA one run at a time.

Couple doubles (Castro Altuve) and and some singles bring in 2. 3-1 Astros

Navin R Johnson · « **Reply #9 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:19:31 pm »

McHugh gives one back on a 2 out double followed by Cano single. 3-2

Nate in IA · « **Reply #10 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:24:31 pm »

Cargo may get some forced time off after that..

MusicMan · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:26:41 pm »

I wasn't watching, how badly is he hurt?

As an aside, it's been a long time since I've seen a more gutless bunch than this edition of the Rockets.

@crawfishboxes
Gomez hit on the wrist.

Looked very much not good from TV.

Gomez drilled, Tucker in to run for him. Marwin slaps on to the left but hags turn 2 on it, Malbuena Ks.

Navin R Johnson · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:31:05 pm »

Gomez was in a shit ton of pain. That didnt look good at all.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #16 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:40:18 pm »

I'm expecting broken bones in the hand.. hopefuly not but it sure looked like it from his expressions.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #17 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:56:12 pm »

Crooked numbers are always good.

Gattis just needs a few more at-bats I think...

Regardless of his frustrating play as an Astro so far I felt horrible for Gomez. It looked bad. Hopefully tomorrow brings good news both with the scoreboard and an X-ray. I'd rather Gomez have his fate decided on the field.

jbm · « **Reply #20 on:** April 27, 2016, 11:14:43 pm »

I thought it hit more of the near-finger meat of the right palm. Might just be a bad bruise rather than a fracture.

chuck · « **Reply #21 on:** April 27, 2016, 11:15:59 pm »

I guess all the usuals are currently under the thrall of the Rockets. That or they went to bed shortly after a four o'clock supper at Luby's.

jbm · « **Reply #22 on:** April 27, 2016, 11:19:46 pm »

The Rockets are the only thing that makes me flip channels faster than a first inning Astros meltdown. They need to just start over, at the highest level possible.

Maybe LuAnn platters are what we all need to make the Astros great again.

I see that Harris is still a bright spot. Real nice hooks there.

Gattis hits a baseball as hard as physically possible, and the Astros fuck up on the bases again. At least get 2 runs out of it.

To elaborate, Gattis hits a line drive off the wall. Two runners score. Rasmus gets caught between 3rd and home and is tagged out.

jbm · « **Reply #29 on:** April 27, 2016, 11:46:02 pm »

Gattis had to really fight himself to keep from hacking at the trash, but it ended up being an impressive AB. What the fuck was Rasmus doing?

Navin R Johnson · « **Reply #30 on:** April 27, 2016, 11:48:20 pm »

Tucker not making much of a case to start if Gomez is out.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #31 on:** April 27, 2016, 11:58:47 pm »

Nice to see 0s in the bottom of the frame...

jbm · « **Reply #32 on:** April 28, 2016, 12:09:45 am »

Giles already looking bad, one batter into the 8th.

jbm · « **Reply #33 on:** April 28, 2016, 12:16:54 am »

Giles really bailed out a shit play by Valbuena. After a BB and a shift aided single, Giles puts his foot down, with no help from Valbuena blowing an easy DP.

Navin R Johnson · « **Reply #34 on:** April 28, 2016, 12:19:39 am »

Giles looked really good after the oppo single.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #35 on:** April 28, 2016, 12:35:13 am »

Nice to see a win.

jbm · « **Reply #36 on:** April 28, 2016, 12:36:29 am »

Shaky, but sufficient ninth by Gregerson. Astros win 7-4.

Late games suck, but late wins are sweet.

I don't think Tucker can succeed without getting regular at bats. I know he hit a few PH homers off the bench last year, but overall he looked a lot better when he was in the lineup. Everybody can't be Marwin.

You're absolutely right. One of the hardest things to do is come off of the bench cold and hit.
