After one out, Trout takes four pitches over the plate for a walk. No wonder this guy hits .300. His strike zone is the size of a nickel.

After the inning should have ended on a double play.

That one bounced three feet in front of the plate. The first one was brutal and it cost a run.

That was a cumulative comment, not just the one that bounced in front of the plate.

But the casual saunter over to get it was also not great.

Hinch needs to double-down and make their perfidy unmistakable. I'd go so far as to pull up heat maps for and against at a press conference.

These colors are cool on a late 1960's Ford GT. They're extremely uncool on a late 2010's Astros team.

No they are not. These colors are never cool. Ever. Under any possible circumstance do they look like anything other than shit.

I feel like the 1960's Ford might even be a stretch.

Sky blue and orange was the color scheme for the late 60's Gulf Ford GT's. They were definitely cool. One of my favorite cars ever.

I've got no idea. Nicknames is one thing (however misguided). Completely irrelevant color schemes is a bridge too far.

Nice job by Fisher on that liner. I remember how aghast we were at Springer's defense when he first came up. I'm hopeful that the same thing is going on with Fisher and that once he settles in he'll not repeat his recent defensive lapses.

My theory is that it was a "concession" that the owners were willing to give to the players' union in exchange for something else. Especially since it gives them one more piece of crap to sell.

My theory is it's the other way around. The league said "you can have this, but you have to dress up like clowns one weekend in return".

I think he is in dire need of a couple days off, just can't do it right now. When Corrra comes back, Marwin needs a couple days.

Fisher made a nice sliding grab to end the fourth inning too. 

As a baseball fan, last night was a great game to watch.  As an Astros fan I could have done without the drama of having to face Trout with the bases loaded in a one run game, but last night is why we watch.
