Baggy is in 6th inning form already.
He's probably on his 8th beer.
This is a great 3 man booth.
The best 3-man boot was when Brownie and Deshaies had Bob Uecker with them. JD and Uecker together was solid gold.
I don’t think we fully appreciate the job Miley has done this year.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Wow, I had forgotten that. In Milwaukee or Houston or both?
I remember Uecker making a few one inning visits to the Astros' booth back in the day. He is the only thing associated with that wretched franchise I don't loathe.
How about fried cheese?
MLB replay is unbelievably inconsistent.Or consistently maddening.Your choice.
Beer?
On an 0-2 pitch?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Miley is pissed with a capital "piss"
I didn’t think he should have started the 9th but I see why AJ did. I definitely would have pulled him after the walk.
2-2 pitch.
If you're gonna let him start the inning, you let him try to work around the walk. Osuna just didn't get it done.
He missed badly on ball 4. If you leave him in you get what you get.
Hindsight and all...
Man that yard is like a funeral.
Altuve grounds into an around the horn double play on the first pitchFuck.
Laureano is not having a great game out there tonight Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
I thought it was a "one man gets on and your done" situation. I was surprised to not see AJ coming to get him Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Those are the frustrating losses. Damn Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
That's what I expected too. Osuna just didn't make his pitches. The meatball changeup he threw right before the HR should have been hit to Katy.
Man, Danley has had a rough night behind the plate.
The pitch chart on Miley's leadoff walk in the 9th might piss you off
Not lost in this, at least to me, was the fact that you had to give up Gurriel and Brantley, your two most productive hitters lately, late in the game. That's two at bats in the 11th, down a run, with Marisnick and Straw instead.
Altuve and Bregman being zeros, and let's go ahead and add Yordan, too, to be fair, were not hugely helpful. But as PopRaup says, it was Altuve that had the chances today and did nothing with them.
Exactly. The moves Hinch made absolutely were correct to win/tie the game, but when we got behind, we needed those hitters. Marisnick looked paralyzed.Altuve mystifies me, as he always does. Bad luck with the bases loaded; he crushed the 3-1 pitch and missed a double by about a foot. But the 10th? Where was his head? Winning run at first, no outs, Springer the runner. If there ever was a situation screaming “bunt for a base hit, and move the runner,” that was it. Nope. GIDP on the first pitch.
His approach seems completely backwards at times. When the winning run is on base and he needs to get that guy in scoring position or to 3B with less than 2 outs, he's trying to hit a 7-run home run...when down by two, with two on, two out and an extra base hit ties it, he's working a walk or bunting. And it seems like it happens regularly. It drives me nuts.
I have quit thinking of him as a baseball player and more of as a bold surrealist, as a spontaneous artist not as a well planned stat-head analytical type. He improvises. He flies by the seat of his pants. When he is in the box rarely does he have a plan other than see the ball, hit the ball. Jackson Pollack drove people nuts too. So did John Cage. John Zorn. Ad Reinhardt.
He is a baseball player. Nothing more. His approach hurts his team, often when it needs him the most.
And Nijinsky was just a dancer. Nothing more.
