B1:  Miley throwing puss. Rays up 1-0
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.

Looks like right handed hitters are going to have to stretch the strike zone some today.

So let me get this straight.

The Rays PUBLICLY have said that their goal is to get ahead because 94 percent of first pitches aren't put in to play?

And the Astros game plan so far this series has been taking first pitch fastballs?

FUCKING BRILLIANT!

The offense is fucking putrid so far.

I can't decide which I'm enjoying more:

How shitty the Astros are at the plate or how shitty they are trying to be aggressive on the bases.

I was about to sarcastically say, "Good thing Brantley wasn't in the lineup today."  But then I realized Jake probably wouldn't be playing if that was the case.

If that had been a strike 'em out, throw 'em out, I would have questioned AJ's sanity.

This is just fucking nauseating.

Miley gutted out a pretty decent start, the bullpen is torching them, and the entire offense  has elected to just not show up since Game 1.

ONE runner has reached second all game, and it was Marisnik on his home run.

Best hitter, as the tying run with 2 outs in the ninth tries to bunt.  And fails miserably.
