Tonight’s test was a frustrating one. Roy gave up 10 hits, the most since late last season but held a 3-1 lead when he handed over his 1st-and-2nd-1-out jam in the 7th to Jeff Fulchino. Roy had gotten out of his own trouble all night, surviving 2 bases-loaded-1-out innings allowing only 1 run. Fulchino plunked Braun, then Byrdak gave up a 2-run double to Fielder, then Sampson gave up an RBI double to Hart. The Astros ended up dropping the series finale with the Brewers, 4-3.
The real highlights of this game though were the 4 SnSers behind the plate. I couldn’t pass up the chance to weave them into this recap. Let’s go!
No sign of the guys at the 1st pitch.
They missed Penis Face Dick Nose's 2-out triple but were there in time to see Lard Ass K.
The Good Guys got on the board in the 2nd with a single by Lee and the a bomb by PENCE!!! against the wall in center. They added another in the 4th on Miggy’s solo tater against the left center field wall.
One of Roy’s jams was in the 5th when he gave up a lead-off double that was erased on a FC, then 2 singles to load ’em with one out. Roy got the ground ball to Blum who got it to Kepp in time for the out at 2nd but the throw to 1st was too late and the run scored. 3-1 Astros.
The bottom of the inning was wild. With 2 out, Twinkie singled and Lee walked. PENCE!!! then singled to left and Lance raced around 3rd and reached home as Kendall gloved the ball. Lance slid south of the plate and appeared to get his hand down on the only open spot of the plate before Kendall made the tag. Let’s see what our guys think:
The call....?
SAFE!!!
Nope. Delfin Colon saw it differently. You tell me. Who has the better angle?
Lance went uncharacteristically apeshit and Colon wasted no time in tossing him, and then when some old guy who kind of looked like a manager came out and started yelling, he got tossed too.
I explained how the game got away up top. It sucked. But I did want to leave you with this moment of zen:
