Astros go 1-2-3 in the 1st, but Kepp sent Gonazales to the wall to get him.

Oswalt struck out the Rukkakes in repost, all swinging.

He hit a hard chopper to third and Stewart had to range towards the line to get it. He looked at second but Pence was already there, juggled the ball for a second and threw wildly to first. Pence advanced to third on the bad throw.

Just like to point out that I got an ESPN fantasy news update from a guy named "Tristan R. Cockroft." And further down the email there's an article on Strasburg that says J. R. Richard was "disappointing."  I guess he was, but only because of injury. What a cockroft!

Title: Re: Astros at Rockies - 6/10
Post by: chuck on June 10, 2010, 03:23:11 pm
Let me go back to that abomination of a throw. Tulo's on third. Fly to shallow center. Bourn caught the ball running in. It was in a place in center where a rangy shortstop could easily have made the play, it was that shallow. Bourn's momentum is leading him into the throw. I was quite surprised that they sent Tulo on such a shallow fly. Bourn catches the ball cleanly and transfers it cleanly and then bounces the fucking throw on the outfield side of the mound. Four bounces in total to get to Q and the throw was four feet off line besides.

The knuckleknobs on the radio are at it again.  Pence misses a foul pop in the stands; radio guys brag that 'maybe he gave Roy a chance for another K.'  Next pitch, bam, pitcher singles up the middle.  Will they ever learn?

Daigle gets a grounder to 3B from Olivo, but Feliz double-clutches and only gets the runner at 2B (throw to 1B not in time for the DP). Runner scores, runners at 1B and 3B.  Giambi up.  HOU 5, COL 4. 2 outs.

Why is Oswalt out of the game on 96 pitches?  Is he hurt?

We had wondered this at the game, too. 

The sun was unbearably hot, we all got incredibly sunburned.  The stadium was beautiful, the mountain view was incredible.  They let you bring in a soft-sided cooler with drinks and food, but no glass containers and no metal cans. And they confiscate sunscreen.  It was the first time either me or my kids had been to a MLB stadium as the visiting team.  They remarked on how weird it was when Q hit the homerun for the crowd to be so quiet (except for us and the handful of Astros fans in the park.)

How on earth can they justify that? It's incredibly easy to get a bad sunburn at altitude. Are they afraid somebody actually has C4 in those tubes instead of sunscreen?

I have no idea.  I just know they pulled over the couple with 2 young children in front of me and the guy said, "What I'm looking for is sunscreen.  You can put it on now, but you have to leave it here."  Then I saw a cardboard box labeled "Sunscreen" and a bunch of bottles in it.  You could come back after the game and claim it, but you couldn't take it in the park.

I'd gladly leave my sunscreen at home at the MMPUS if I could bring in a soft-sided cooler filled with grub, though.
