I wish Alan Ashby's throat would just fall out.
-
McCullers attempts a pickoff to second, nothing really notable about it.
Ashby spends 10 seconds talking about "the other move pitchers use" as a pickoff move. The spin off the rubber, and how he thinks it should be abolished and other people agree.
LANCE DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING DO IT, YOU CHEESEDICK.
-
How exactly are they supposed to throw it to second? Just flip it back there blindly?

Runner on 3b, 1 out - Correa snags a sinking liner before it hits, saves the run.

Between the legs!

For fuck's sake... Gomez took a practice swing before his at bat where he went to a knee.
My blood pressure is cartoonishly high right now.

Maybe he was just getting that swing out of his system.

As Brownie said... practice how you play.

McCullers is a fucking mess right now.

Close play at home, but safe. 1-0 Halos. Still nobody out.

This is fucking brutal to watch. McCullers has no idea where the ball is going.

And just like that McCullers remembers how to pitch and strikes out 2 with the bases juiced to end the threat.

Someone he got out of that mess only giving up one run.

He just wanted to impress McHugh.

McCullers is a thrower. He'll be freaking awesome in two or three years if his arm doesn't fall off.
-
Bang bang play ends the top of the 4th. Angels would probably like to challenge that, but they wasted their challenge on a blatant out call at first already. Whoops.
-
Some putrid at bats being put together so far. Swinging weakly at slop pitches.

I see you working there.

Go sit your buttery ass down, Mike. Good lord.
-
Fuck. Come on Springer, run out your fucking swings.
Angels shortstop lets a short popup drop and turns two on Springer who slowed down thinking it was an easy catch.
-
Man, they can't catch a break today.
That inning, Marwin gets one caught on the hill.
Altuve smacks a homerun
Correa rips a double down the left field line
Rasmus laces one into the glove of the first baseman who doubles off a limpy Correa (who fouled one off his foot earlier)

Man, they can't catch a break today.
And yet, it's tied.

With the way they've hit it, it shouldn't be

But on the other hand... McCullers escaping with only one run was damn near a miracle.

Given he escaped via the strike out, I don't see that as a miracle but more of McCullers locking in. Which he has done quite a few times this year to escape big jams. Now it would be nice if he didn't back into all those jams.

Marwin puts another on the hill. This one lands. 2-1 Astros

I like miracles from my pitchers. Some how he got done what he needed to do to not lose. I would prefer a pretty pitching performance but I'll take an ugly one with a win any day.
-
Fuck yeah!!
-
MARWIN! thumps one off the wall on Tal's hill. Angels CF smashes in to the wall pretty hard, but gets up and gets it back in.
-
Marwin triples onto the hill, scoring Springer!

I was shocked that Anderson got back up. He hit the wall at full tilt.
-
He needs to learn to be slightly early or later, whichever he feels is cool with me.

Trout makes that catch

Maybe. It was extra shaky going up the hill AND at the wall.
But anything that makes Tubbo Scioscia second guess himself I'm all for.
-
Ashby prattling on and on about how barehanding the ball isn't any faster than using your glove, which makes zero fucking sense, but hey, what else is new.

I sincerely appreciate Escobar running the bases like a boner.

I still haven't seen a replay that he looked out on. But he deserves to be out entirely for such a stupid baserunning mistake.
-
Man it has to be tempting to give Trout first
-
Line drive out to left. Game over Astros win!
-
I guess Harris missed the feeling of danger and wanted a little dalliance just for the chance to yawp again.

Please please PLEASE.
Mike Stanton back in the booth.
Julia back roving the sidelines.
Ashby traded to anyone anywhere.

This umpiring crew haven't been complete assclowns. That's refreshing. And speaking of refreshing:
WINNING RECORD

Agreed. This crew was about as inoffensive as they get.
None of the look-at-me assclown usual suspects.

Jose Altuve - "It was a beauuuutiful game."
-
Jose, you've played more consecutive games than any other big league player currently..."
Jose - "I did? That's pretty good."
