bottom 1:
JD(m) with a 2run bomb to left scoring JB. JMike follows w a double
-
Excellent!!
-
Michaels almost follows Martinez's lead, banging it high off the wall in LCF. Goes to third on a Paredes IF single, but the inning ends with them stranded at 1st and 3rd.
-
Upon review JD(m) barely got that hr. swung at a fastball at his shoulders and popped it up... It just kept going

Nice grab by Martinez out in LF. Hard-hit line drive to LCF that he kept going after and got to. Decent throw back to first to chase Phillips back to first base, too.
-
Fucking Brandon Phillips is the best second baseman I've ever seen.

Naturally, this time he drills one on a line off the yellow line of the Crawford Boxes for a single.

That's a hr in STL

Hard to believe the Reds got him for practically nothing.
-

Hits the yellow line on the front of the boxes. And got there in about 2/10ths of a second. He hit the snot out of it, but he's stuck with a single.
And Carlos takes care of that problem with the 6-4-3 ball.

I don't think I've seen a better catch by a second baseman
-

Some scout said he shouldn't play in the majors.
-
JD's single is probably a HR in a lot of parks, he smoked that

It wasn't a crawford box shot.

Some of them in this very organization.

Also a pretty young thing per wiki

Votto hit a really good pitch down and in. He's just a fucking machine.
-
How fucking terrible was that Bartolo Colon trade by the way? Why couldn't Wade do one of those

I watched him pitch an inning the other day, wholy crap, The Sergio of baseball. If we had to watch him pitch every 5 days this season there would be mass suicide

Sizemore, Phillips, Cliff Lee, and Lee Stevens for Bartolo Colon and Tim Drew. That's what happens when a team thinks its getting contracted anyways I guess.
-
Who's that fucking guy?
-
Lyles almost beat that out.
-
Fucking Votto. What a hitter.

He doesn't appear to have a weakness.

Footer griping about Carlos cutting that ball before it hit the backstop

It was significantly off line. They weren't going to get Votto. Which is too bad, because from a timing standpoint they had him dead. But Q would have had to go a couple steps up the 1B line to get the ball and then come back to the plate, and that's asking too much.

Heard while watching Astros' 2011 season:
"Throw the damn towel!"

Yankees totally got over on Wade in the Berkman deal. Worst GM ever.

Carlos had to cut that ball, It was tailing away and badly offline.

No, Rocky eventually won.
2011 Astros = Apollo.

Barmes's K was a rally killa. Inexcusable. That's going to cost him some cash from the Kangaroo Court.

He knew it. The look on his face was Pence-esque.

Mother fuck.
-
Of course we just gave up the tie-breaking solo HR to the pitcher. Of course.
-
Well, that just sucks. At least he's not an asshole like Zambrano.

Check the 10 day forecast every day to see another 100+ day added; at 32 straight now I think.

Dallas is less humid than Houston, but not as much as you would think

Hell yes

Bad call, throw got him.

Great, we get to see Altuve fail to bunt again
-
Don't bunt with Altuve. We've already learned this.

Not scrappy. Too "ethnic" to be scrappy.

JD!!!
-
Fucking JD rakes!!!!
-
I think I'm going to like Martinez. He's willing to take a rip at the ball; kind of the anti-CJ.

Ihate watching these minor leaguers.

What was the view of Martinez as prospect coming into this year?

Outside of these parts, consensus was "eh, let's wait and see what he does at AA".

Bases loaded, no outs. Pre-emptive "Fuck!"

Astros should trademark it. Or at least claim squatters rights

That was a helluva curve.

That was a fucking brutal hammer from FeRod to Renteria for strike three.

FeRod
No, hell no. We are nipping this shit in the bud RIGHT NOW.
-
One of the best pitched innings from the pen all year. Get the kid a win.

No, hell no. We are nipping this shit in the bud RIGHT NOW.
Mea culpa, mea culpa mea maxima culpa. It won't happen again.

Lecure is better than I thought, although Barmes helped out a lot.

I see your schwartz is as big as mine.

The team should temporarily be known as the Houston Hoppers. Carlos Lee is Prop Joe.
-
We take a series!!!!
-
good work by the pen to preserve it for Lyles
-
Just note that for August we have a winning percentage. I'm still mathematically eliminated for the Lid.

Damnit.

From MLB.com today:
Jordan Schafer said it's frustrating not to be able to get on the field after being traded from the Braves to the Astros in the Michael Bourn deal. He's still about a week or two away from returning, after injuring his left middle finger in a game on July 26.
-
Shuck, maybe? They'd have to boot someone off the 40-man, but I can think of a few candidates.
-
Good player?
Uh no. Overmatched.
-

Just now? Triple digit temperatures are the best thing about Dallas.

Took my boys to the game last night. 1st game post trades. My 8 year old had the two best lines of the night...
Upon looking at the Astros line up he said...
"At least we still have Bourgeois"
And when Altuve dove and just missed a ball late in the game he said...
"Dad, if he were taller he woulda had that"
