Lucas Harrell has been remarkably consistent in his inconsistency this season, hasn’t he? He’s either great, or he’s not and completely implodes and melts down in an enormous ball of wildness, frustration, and rage. Unfortunately the Astros got the latter result Tuesday night, and the game was basically played and done with all in the course of one incendiary top of the 4th that included a diving catch attempt that resulted in a mild concussion for Justin Maxwell. Hopefully he is alright.
But there were some positives for the evening!
-Astros pitchers struck out 14 batters! The cardinal pitchers sucked by comparison of that one statistic!
-Matty D hit another Dinger, which also happened to break up a no-hitter in the 6th inning.
-Brett Wallace announced his return from Triple-A with authority, hitting a 2-run triple and striking out 0 fucking times.
-Marc Krauss notched his first big-league hit.
-The score will reset itself to 0-0 for the start of tonight’s game, where Erik Bedard will try to
continue building his trade value, er, lead his team to victory against Lance Lynn, who has/had a ridiculously huge hipster beard and is 10 and fucking 1 this season.
