[HudsonHawk]

B2:

Correa...3-0...3-1...leadoff walk

Engel grounds out 5-3

1-0 Astros

[HudsonHawk]

Yay Gattis.

You still out of the country?

Yep.  7:50 am

[JimR]

We need to win every fucking game.

[HudsonHawk]

We need to win every fucking game.

That's my plan, Coach.

[JimR]

Maybin channeling Altuve.

[HudsonHawk]

B3:

Maybin strikes out swinging at a pitch in the dirt
Springer with a check-swing slow roller to 2B...4-3
Reddick pops out F5

1-0 Astros

[HudsonHawk]

Ok...gotta get on a call...one of you do some PBP

[austro]

Well, just when we seem to have figured out Cano, we now have Moncada to worry about. I'm all for not pitching to him for the rest of the series.

[HudsonHawk]

Geez...will someone tell these guys to STOP throwing Moncada fucking meatalls???

[JimR]

Damn leadoff walk.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Damn leadoff walk.

Didn't take long for it to bite us.

[MikeyBoy]

That swing would make Altuve blush.

[austro]

Yuli! Clutch two-out, two-run two-bagger!

[MRaup]

Yuli! Clutch two-out, two-run two-bagger!

La Pina es mas macho.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

What no PBP?

[JimR]

It would be really nice if Fisher did not chase. He saw one strike, maybe, and struck out.

[HudsonHawk]

It would be really nice if Fisher did not chase.

It would be really nice if he weren't on the postseason roster.

[JimR]

It would be really nice if he weren't on the postseason roster.

He will be.

[HudsonHawk]

He will be.

Oh, I know, especially with Marisnick on the bench.  But I sure he wasn't.

[juliogotay]

Liriano outstanding again. I read the catchers are setting the target in the middle of the plate now rather than on the corners and that has made a difference.

[HudsonHawk]

Liriano has come into his own as a reliever

[David in Jackson]

Yes, has been been impressive past few weeks after very tough start w Astros. Could be big.

Peacock was sharp tonight. He wants to be on that postseason roster..

[juliogotay]

those Fly Balls right over your head are the toughest to track,

[JimR]

No chance he would not be. The question is as what?

If Altuve chops one to third, I will scream.

[juliogotay]

I wonder if Julia called Ashby "Buns"?

[JimR]

Lucky fucker. Shitty swing and picked off.

[juliogotay]

Lucky fucker. Shitty swing and picked off.

he does live a charmed life.

[HudsonHawk]

Must be all that clean living...someone has smiled upon him this inning.

[austro]

he does live a charmed life.

Although he looks a little dinged up over at third right now.

[JimR]

I would rather see most anyone up there him with RISP. He flails.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

What happened?

[chuck]

I wonder if Luis Robert will play for this team next year. I don't see why he wouldn't. I watch some teams and think that they are not nearly as bad as their record. The White Sox are not one of those teams.

[HudsonHawk]

What happened?

Runner on 3B, one out...he flails at a pitch, hits a soft liner that SS booted to plate a run.  Next pitch, gets picked off of 1B, but the throw goes into RF, and he moves to 3B

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Thanks.

And they scored his end of the bat lunging flail a hit.

I think the Sox are a couple of years away from being a major force in that division.

[MikeyBoy]

It would be really nice if he weren't on the postseason roster.

I bet we see a lot of Marwin in LF, in the playoffs.

[austro]

What happened?

A classic Altuve-bailing-out-throws-his-bat-at-the-ball-and-hits-it swing that went right to the drawn-in shortstop who kicked it. Then he's caught leaning off of first base but the catcher throws the ball into RF. He should have been out twice.

[HudsonHawk]

And they scored his end of the bat lunging flail a hit.

Our scorer is an idiot.  Has been all year.

[austro]

And they scored his end of the bat lunging flail a hit.

That was a true homer call. That was an error all the way.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I can't watch the Astro games on MLB TV until I get my DNS issue worked out. Maybe I should have waited to cancel Direct TV until I knew that I had that working. Dammit.

You can always follow along here

Until you assholes start talking about tires. Jerks.

Tying run at 3B, one out...

Must be a Goodyear man...

[HudsonHawk]

T8:

Gregerson in...

Anderson hits one back up the middle...off of Gregersons arm...fields it but can't get the runner...infield hit

Trainer and Hinch out to look at LG44...I guess all is ok, he's going to continue

Davidson flies out F8
Brantly, pinch hitting for Engel...full count...strikes out swinging, as Anderson steals 2B..perfect throw from Gattis, but LG too slow to the plate

So that's all for Gregerson, Musgrove in

Sanchez doubles down RF line on the first pitch, Anderson scores
Wild pitch, Sanchez to 3B
Moncada strikes out swinging

4-3 Astros

[MRaup]

Abreu came a LONG way to make that catch.

[HudsonHawk]

Abreu came a LONG way to make that catch.

For a second, I thought no one was gonna catch that.

[JimR]

Fisher again. Nori! Come back!

[astrojo]

Fisher is pitiful. 3 k's and a GIDP.  More outs than AB's

Where have you been? We clinched the division Sunday.

[astrojo]

The ONLY time I ever want to see him is to pinch run late for Beltran or catcher. Period.

[HudsonHawk]

Well, my internet here in the jungle keeps going in and out....I had a B8 post all done, but...at any rate, the Astros didn't score, despite Yuli with another hit.  To the 9th...Astros up 4-3

[chuck]

Not for a pitcher in the World Series?

[juliogotay]

this is what happens after you clinch. Everyone loses their focus.

[astrojo]

Lurking, mostly. And catching up on GZ wayy past any normal human's bedtime.

[MRaup]

Holy fuck, what a play by Musgrove that didn't do shit.

[HudsonHawk]

Shiftfuck infield single puts the tying run on with one out...

[austro]

Holy fuck, what a play by Musgrove that didn't do shit.

He must have pissed off Ccorrea somehow.

[doyce7]

Dude has been running more in this inning than all season

I love that Hinch is letting Musgrove pitch the 9th, btw.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

What DNS issue?

Can't make it not see me as within blackout restrictions.

[astrojo]

Honestly, I'd rather carry an extra pitcher. Fisher is a waste of a postseason roster spot IMHO

[austro]

96mph heater to finish Hanson off!

[HudsonHawk]

T9:

Musgrove still in...

Abreu grounds out 3-1
Delmonico chops one over the mound...with the shift on, Altuve is in RF...Correa comes in from behind 2B to field it, but has no play...infield single
Hanson grounds into FC...Delmonico out 3-6 at 2B...Musgrove with a nice kick save, but no out at 1B
Hanson steals 2B...Centeno didn't get off much of a throw
Narvaez...0-2...1-2...2-2...strikes out swinging

Astros win!!!

[doyce7]

Bullpen Musgrove is awesome

I don't know what sort of setup you usually employ but a simple, free plugin like Hola will fix your problem.

[MusicMan]

Had a great time at the game last night. I came away with the overwhelming impression that the Astros did not so much win the game as accept the Sox' repeated efforts to give it to them. Chicago's fielding was terrible, especially on Abreu's "effort" on the double down the line.

I'm still annoyed.  Nobody even mentioned Continentals. 

[Bench]

Although he looks a little dinged up over at third right now.

We were sitting right at third base and Altuve was definitely wincing, limping, and stretching out his groin.  He looked very uncomfortable.
