A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
— Earl Wilson
What a fun game to watch played by the Houston Astros? There was some really nice defense, hitting and good pitching. Sosa did an outstanding job on short rest tossing 6 innings of 1 run baseball. Lopez and Melancon out of the bullpen pitched 3 scoreless innings. I wish the Astros could win every game this way.
Now, I sometimes just don’t get what Mills is doing. So, in the top of the 8th, JD Martinez hits a double, then is replaced for pinch runner Jason Bourgeious. Why? Is Martinez that slow of a runner? I can’t imagine he is. Well, I’m not going to dwell on it because the Astros won and that makes me happy.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
