No score

Correa...down 0-2...works the count full...takes a hanging curve right down the middle for strike three
McCann lines one off the RCF wall...the ball bounces around, right fielder casually picks it up and lobs it in to 2B as McCann just sneaks in for a sliding double

Gurriel flies out to shallow RF
No score

I think some people are tuning in to see, er um, how deep LMJ goes tonight. MLB.TV is jacking around with me now.

Naw. They only want to see the vaunted 8th inning Astros offense.

It's good that LMJ is keeping his pitch count down. The more innings he can go the better for the over-taxed bullpen.

Gurriel grounds out 4-3
At the stretch...1-0 Astros

Nice. Would be really cool if that could happen again, just so my time is not wasted watching the rest of this game.

Still the only MLB team with over 40 wins.

Jason Castro just put a sweet swing on a pitch to give MN an early lead over the surging seahags.
It's the only game on....

Incredible sarcastic comment. How many had they scored on this trip prior to your comment?

Sorry Jim but that comment wasn't sarcastic, it was facetious. Not meant to be taken seriously or literally.

He gave us 7 innings on only 91 pitches. He saved the pen tonight, but given he's the only reliable starter we have right now, saving him is important too.

This. I had zero problem with it, especially because the 7th was a high stress inning.

He was remarkably effiicient with his pitches.

Just finished watched the Condensed Game, a few observations:
1.) Correa's relay throw on the triple was pretty terrible. If he'dve put that throw on the money, they'dve had a shot at Cain.
2.) Those cream sickle orange batting gloves are ugggggggggggggggggly.
3.) The only great thing about Springer striking out is seeing the faces he makes on the slo-mo replays. They are fucking hilarious.
4.) We picked a guy up last night to fill in on our softball team that looked eerily like Hunter Pence. Not early Astro Thunderpants, but early Giants Pence, before he started looking like a douchebag Holistic Wellness Center Shaman. He also ran like his hair was on fire, so the comparison was pretty spot on.
