1-0 bottom 1 on a Corey Hart bomb to right. Carlos just lost a popup in the sun for a single. Despite the BRIGHT SUN IN THE FIELD Carlos does not have his glasses on. Smooth.
-
I see Happ is still trying to pitch up in the strike zone. Sigh.
-
Is anyone here a retrosheet expert? There must be some way to express the oddity of having a 3 hole hitter with zero homeruns 100+ games into the season (with qualifying at bats)
-
Matt Downs couldn't get a hit right now with an oar.
-
Matt Downs has gone to shit since becoming a dad.
-
Does bourn have to go for Martinez to have a spot?
-
Vs. Righties I mean, when wallace is playing
-

I'm tuned in for a few minutes, now. I'll see what I can do, but that usually means Happ bounces balls to the plate instead of being up too high.
-
I do like the Manny Pacquiao commercial. He's just a likable dude.
-
Looked like Wllace tried to get some loft on that swing, but that just made it a routine pop fly. I kindof miss the Wallace that only got singles and doubles, but hit the ball >1/3 of the time.
-
There you go ETA
-
"imagine, Angel (Hernandez, the ump) blowing one". JD sarcastically about the missed call at first against Hunter in the Phils game
-
Happ struck out the side?!?
-
There you go ETA
Trying to hold it together. Got that inning. Next, he is going to lose the corner outside, but I'll try....
-
He skipped one up there for you
-
Altuve is listed as only 2 inches shorter than Q and Jason Bourgeois. That might be a little off...
-

I waass interupted by my wife....lost concentration.
Where is Budgirl with her offensive mojo?

Somewhere in Boston right about now. We're punchless.

I'll try to open another vein...

Happ's gonna have to win this one himself.
Hahahahahahahahahaaaaa...
-
Happ is right in the middle of the plate. This hurts.
-
I liked watching the Philly fans go nutshit when Pence took the field. Unlike Lance Berkman, who is cordially invited to go fuck himself, I will enjoy Hunter's successes unless they are against the Astros.
-

Sorry, he is not sneaking it in the lower half f the zone, and is now going back to the middle of the plate.
-
Looks like Ubaldo is going to... Cleveland?!? Wow!

Agreed.
-
Gee, that's strange. Everything they're hitting off of Happ is to the right side.

Phillies fans can turn on you in a heartbeat though. His first shit route to the ball, which should be on the first liner hit his way, they'll howl and throw shit.
-
You know, that wasn't a great pitch, but it wasn't a bad pitch. Well hit, but it could have been a DP, too.
-
I dislike The Peen.
-

Except that the 2B was shifted over closer to the bag. These bastards can hit a little, damn them.
-
Me too. Fuck you, peen!
-
Nice pitch.
-
GD Matt Downs is terrible
-

Sure.
Downs is not my hero.
-
Fuck Mills for sitting Altuve.
-
Fuck you, Downs.
-
Altuve makes that play.
-

That's Hunter's problem, not mine.
-

He has to be worn out by a few games. Let the vets get their reps before the playoff race really gets intense.....
-
Altuve makes that play.
Chuck makes that play.
-
If the qualifications for playing on the astros are striking out every AB and not fielding at all, I shall put my hat in the ring
-
Happ up on pitch count. Again.
-

You're damn right I make that play.

It's all the Ks. He's dominating.

If they accept old fucks who throw around 55, I'm there.
-
2-0 Brewers through 3.
-
Threw an extra 10 pitches thanks to that horsedickery in the field.
-
2-0 Brewers through 3.
Sadly, that could have been much better or much worse after that inning. A play/pitch or two made a huge difference in what happened.
-
Unless Altuve can make it into the game tonight, there is no chance the Astros can get the offense going enough.
I can't work miracles, people...

I'm just sitting here thinking that the team has two of the team's best three hitters sitting safely on the bench at the moment. If they trade Bourn and Wandy they could lose three quarters of their remaining games. Or more.
-
Bad sign to start with when 2 of your 3 best hitters were in AA two weeks ago
-
You know, I do like Angel in there tonight. Not the greatest, but he doesn't make mistakes. Maybe they think putting Sanchez and Altuve in the middle of the infield too much, they may create the end of the world singularity thing.
-

Wolf got a K of Bourn with a 57 mph pitch last night. JD said it was the slowest he'd ever seen in the majors
-
Where the hell did that Lee come from and thank god Angel was not in the line.
-
"Lined off the glove of Johnson".
I'm getting tired of that line this year.
-
Happ looked like he was thinking, "Why the hell did they trade Pence to the Phillies and not me?"
-

Bourn was still laughing about it 10 minutes later. It was fun to watch.
-
This is a team that is just not good at any phase of the game
-

I'll be curious to see what the 3B battle looks like in spring training next year.
-

So Hap's going to have to tick it up a couple of notches. I hope he can bunt.
-
Can someone please, PLEASE tell him to unbutton that top button? Or just walk up to him and rip the damn button off.
-
ETA: Not a Downs fan.
-

Who the hell do they have? Navarro, Paredes, Villar maybe. Who else?
-
How is it possible that that ass generates no power
-
This team's corner infield situation is fucking grim.
-
Have to cook. They are on their own, now.
-
Once they trade Bourn and Wandy, every single position will be grim
-
Once they trade Bourn and Wandy, every single position will be grim
Except 2nd...

It is quite a mystery.
-
We are counting on a smurf, that is grim on its own
-

I saw Jim Bouton throw almost an entire game in the 50's back in 1979. And he hung in there for seven innings, pitching J.R. Richard to a draw.
-
Who said that Sanchez never makes mistakes.
-
Sanchez.......yeah, whatever you were saying to yourself, was not enough....
-
Is Happ's stuff really that great? What's a plus pitch?
-
Good sequence for Happ against Lopez, who is clearly overmatched.
-
ha. I was just thinking, that is gonna eat Pence's lunch....
-
Is Happ's stuff really that great? What's a plus pitch?
In my opinion, if I were scouting, he doesn't have "plus" stuff, at least consistently. His hammer can be alright, but it ain't Wandy's. His heater is 89-92-average. His changeup is really the key pitch for him, because I've seen signs of a good one, but just not often enough.
-
So the upside is that he gets maddux-like control, got it
-
No respect for El Caballo. Fucking freight train goes two bases on a single to LF right to Lee.
-
So the upside is that he gets maddux-like control, got it
In fairness to Happ, he's got far better stuff than Maddux, who had a 85 mph heater. However, as far as command goes, you can't put Happ and Maddux in the same sentence, even the same paragraph.
-
Poor Happ. Another five inning outing with at least four earned runs.
-
I think he's only allowed two earned
-
End of the 5th, Brewers 5, Astros 0
Happ out of the game, Altuve in to PH
-
Poor Happ. Another five inning outing with at least four earned runs.
According to Lucas, all three of those runs were unearned.
-
They scored with 2 outs after an error
-
Altuve!
-
Love that guy
-
Altuve in, 1 pitch later the astros have their first RISP.
-
Why isnt' Happ at OKC? There is no one down there that could top this act?
-
Wow. I walk away.....
...but came back for Altuve.
Here we go....
-
Mighty mite!
-
Altuve avoids the shutout!
-
Why isnt' Happ at OKC? There is no one down there that could top this act?
Sadly, no.
-
Sanchez has only 1 rbi less than Wallace? wow
-
Just wait JG - in another 19 hours he will be the 2nd best pitcher in the whole organization
-
Does caballo's 10 hr lead the team now?
-
Tell me, Angel. Where did Betencourt touch you. Can you show me on the doll?
-
Why isnt' Happ at OKC? There is no one down there that could top this act?
There is nothing in OKC at all.
The TV guys just reminded us that Sanchez has one fewer RBI than does Wallace. Think about that for a minute.
-
I'm walking away agin. Don't let this crap continue.
-
Liked that jersey commercial
-
I know how to fix what's wrong with Wallace...bench him 3 out of every 5. Which looks likely with JD about to take over in LF.

Hasn't worked so far. Dude probably needs to go to OKC.
-
Its going to be better if you just think of this as a AAA team with a tough schedule
-
Just started following mctaggart on twitter - if you like extremely mundane facts I highly recommend it
-

Yep.

NATURAL FIBER!

0-21

Pence ofer Philly

Thanks to mctaggart I know that wallace and downs are a combined 0 for their last 38

That's pretty stinky.
-
Uh Fielder just hit one to Canada.
-
Actually to kenosha, per mctaggart
-
Martinez on deck
-
Wait, he doesn't have any power either?
-
Here we go. No pressure, but give us a light at the end of the tunnel
-
Well there you go
-
WORLD SERIES BITCHES!
-
Big dude. Nice rip JD!
-
Way to go Rook.
-
Hate to do this to you, but I noticed he's wearing one of those bracelets.
-
That explains it
-

He must have found it in his locker.
He fucking smoked that one.
-
The underlying principles of magnetism are really quite simple...
May have just witnessed Bourn's last at-bat
-
Crap. Came in for the JD hit, but it seems Alyuve is out? The Astros have no idea how to win a game.
-
Altuve PH in the 5th and singled and scored. Then was taken out. Can't afford to not get ABs for Matt Downs!!!
-
I could get used to seeing JD Martinez and THE Altuve in the Astros lineup for a long time to come...
-
Why not see them play? What doyou get from keeping them on te bench? Are you blocking a vet?
-
Brad Mills really doesn't seem to be suited for the current task

Who would? I mean really. I can only think of one, but I am not a person who sits and thinks about managers.

Hell hath no fury...

Ball game.

6-2 final
Here's hoping Wade can work his magic tomorrow and get us another Wallace and Happ
-
I can't wait for the season to be over just so I never have to see the damn flash mob commercial again.

Way to go, dick.

Well he was dealing.
BTW, no TV tomorrow for JD Martinez's starting debut. Fuck MLB blackout rules.
-

What happened?
-
Gave up 3 runs in the 7th and got yanked cause he was at 102 pitches.

Fine. I'll just make up a damn recap. Great.
