The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Wonder if his foot is still bothering him.  Off the bat I didn't think they had a shot at two, but Altuve wasn't even halfway

Pet peeve: not putting up a zero after we score.

Leadoff walk, wild pitch, double to 9-hole hitter

That was a nice play by Fisher. It doesn't seem like it would be easy to work your way around that corner and get to that ball against the side of the Crawford Boxes.

What happened?  All I got on gamecast was Altuve lines out to CF.

Fisher break for home early?

He didn't initially go back to 3b on Altuve's flyball. The in a haste to get back to tag, he stepped on middle of the bag and slipped, therefore was unable to score.

Nice job by Clippard and solid, solid job by Charlie Morton.

For those not watching on tv, they said that is 18 straight starts for Morton where he has gone at least 5 innings. That is third longest streak in Astros history. He has put together a darn good season.

Hoyt's barely getting by... its all taking and no giving. You may lose your mind...

James Hoyt in to pitch and he gives up a lead off dinger. 9-5 Astros.

If Hoyt can't succeed in this situation, he may need to take a break back to the minors until 2018

Another single given up by Hoyt. Giles coming in.

Hoyt's career path is a good story but he's not a very good MLB pitcher.

I haven't been comfortable with Hoyt for about 2 months now. I wouldn't shed a tear if he was demoted. Problem is, who is replacing him????

For such a good team, nailing down big leads with scrubs remains a problem. Really unusual how bad they are at this task.

Yep, Hoyt should be the odd man out when Harris is ready, hopefully sometime next week.

Who goes when McCullers is ready?? Musgrove???

They need Musgrove to be the long man to pick up the slack for the McCullers meltdowns. If Liriano can get his shit together, I'd send Guduan down.

We should be at or very close to expanded rosters when McCullers is back.

Both excellent points that demonstrate that I'm not paying enough attention.

I'd advise us to stop talking about everyone being healthy enough to have to make that decision right now.

Is anyone else annoyed with the play-by-play audio lately on the tv broadcast? It is like the mix is letting in too much crowd noise and I can barely hear the announcers without having the audio turned way up. Annoying as hell to me.

Yes, and sometimes Blum is hard to hear. I don't know if it is his mike or his style of talking, but he should Project more.

I have noticed inconsistencies in the audio mix all season. A few weeks back there an annoying yet barely audible high pitch tone. It seems the board operator often has squelch issues with too much gain.

Right now there is a feature on Springer on the pre-game show and you can't hear all of the family members because of this annoying music in the background is so loud. Amateurish.
