Astros with a Gattis two-out hit to plate a run in the first.

McHugh in trouble again: Intentionally walks the asshole to load the bases with one out and gets the inning ending DP to keep it 1-0.

Correa!!

jbm · « **Reply #3 on:** June 23, 2015, 09:41:42 pm »

That's a big hit. Sorely fucking needed. 4-0 good guys

jbm · « **Reply #4 on:** June 23, 2015, 09:46:58 pm »

McHugh still not looking real sharp but three up, three down. 4-0 after two.

Advanced self parody by Ashby and Blum with their Rasmus' bunt discussion.

jbm · « **Reply #6 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:01:16 pm »

Wilson fooling no one. Some more hard hit balls, but no add on.

jbm · « **Reply #7 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:08:34 pm »

Trout looks at a couple of pitches he could have hammered and Ks with a runner on first. 4-0 after 3.

Valbuena showing once again how he's a better hitter with no one on base.

jbm · « **Reply #9 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:14:03 pm »

Valbuena with a bomb to make it 5-0 on straw hat night in Los Angeles of Anaheim.

I don't think Wilson ever wants to face correa again

He rarely gives a great AB in a tough spot, but man, he has power.

Wilson out. Bases juiced. Gattis up. One down. Can break it open.

jbm · « **Reply #12 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:21:32 pm »

Doesn't break it open but does his job with a sac fly. 6-0 good guys.

wild pitch makes it 7-0.

He's one of the strangest hitters I've ever seen.

McHugh taking a crap on prosperity, but Correa bails him out with a nice play to end the inning. 2 runs score. 7-2 after four.

Jacksonian · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:44:07 pm »

Valbuena needs to hit with a 7 iron more often.

jbm · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:45:07 pm »

Valbuena counters the doubters and takes the right fielder into the stands. A TWO run homer. 9-2.

jbm · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:56:03 pm »

Pujols ain't smirking after that infield out. A good inning for McHugh. 3 up and down. 9-2 after five.

jbm · « **Reply #18 on:** June 23, 2015, 11:02:07 pm »

Virginia tops Vandy. They play for all the marbles tomorrow night. Hopefully, it will be a great game.

jbm · « **Reply #19 on:** June 23, 2015, 11:06:18 pm »

Damn, Carter can't join in the parade and Ks. However, Santana powers a Texas leaguer to clean up the traffic. 11-2. A blowout. I'm done: confident in victory and if I'm wrong, I surely don't want to see it.

I liked the way Correa gave McHugh some moral support before all that. It was quiet, not overstepping his bounds as a 20 year old rook, but very supportive.

Ashby is hell bent on gettin McHugh out of this game. It's intriguing.

Is it "Big Ugly Hat Night" in Anaheim of Los Angeles?

Chronic Tacos, yo. I wouldn't have thought that SoCal would have needed another taco chain but I would have been wrong.

Scioscia on Correa: "You can see the physical tools, no doubt. Reminds me a lot of Mike (Trout), the way he carries himself at a young age."

Asbhyism of the night was asking whether he ball over the umpire's head should be ruled a passed ball.

It didn't bounce in the dirt in front of HP. So yes.
