-
Altuve rips one down the 3B line, but a great play by Palonco get the out. Shreefer at the dish.
-
Schreefer jacks one to center, turning around Victorino and making him do a bit-o-running, but catches it on the track (390'), for out #2. Lowrie at the dish.
-
Schreefer tattoos one, but the Flyin' Hawaiian ran it down.
-
Lowrie walks on the 3-1 pitch, Carlos at the dish with 2-outs and a runner on 1B.
-
Carlos with a little dinker over the 2B/into shallow center, Lowrie goes 1B to 3B. 2 outs, runners at the corners, Bogusevic at the dish.
-
Bogusevic takes two meatballs belt high over the center of the plate, then swings at three sliders in the dirt. Nice.
-
Bogusevic goes 1-2, fouls one off, ball high and away, strikes out on a bender inside. Middle 1: HOU 0, PHI 0. And this ends my PBP for the evening... Misc. Note: Balkin' Bob Davidson is 1BU tonight...
-
Harrell really has some good late action on his fastball. When he leans a bit more about pitching in the big leagues, I think that he could be a decent middle of the rotation starter.
-
The Astros need to go up there hacking against this guy Blanton because Blanton throws strikes.
-
God damnit. Pence finds a hole and singles on the infield to Altuve.
-
Polanco keeps banging them off of his foot before walking with two outs.
-
Harrell strikes out Mayberry to close out the second inning. 0-0 Top 3
-
Carlos Lee actually takes advantage of Juan Pierre's rag arm and tags up and moves to 2B on a F7.
-
Where did everyone go? 0-0 Top 5 Harrell really pitching very well.
-
Blanton really has a great changeup. Still 0-0 BOttom 5
-
The Phiilies have runners on 1B and 2B with one out after Lowrie makes his third error. Galvis singles to CF, driving home Polanco with the game's first run.
-
Harrell walks Rollins to load them up for Pierre. Now Harrell is having trouble locating, which has to be a wet baseball.
-
Every mistake is magnified when the offense is this bad. It is a collective funk.
-
Runner on third, nobody out, Spaz comes through. For the Astros.
Then Carlos Ruiz drives in the run. 2-0 Phillies.
-
Harrell is starting to elevate, so Lopez is coming in with runners on 2B and 3B with two outs.
-
Lopez sure is getting his work in this season.
-
3-0 Top 7
-
I think that I would have walked Galvis to pitch to Blanton in that situation.
-
Blanton has it going on through seven. 3-0 Bottom 7
-
Hey, whatadaknow? Abad tosses a scoreless frame and strikes out Jimmy Rollins. 3-0 Top 8
-
Marwin Gonzalez hits a pinch hit home run, his first in the big leagues, followed up by a sharp single by Altiuve, whjich chases Blanton.
-
MarGo took offense at all the sports radio all stars bitching about not PHing Altuve yesterday

I don't need no stinkin' pinchhitter!
-
For the record, I'm anti situational PHing for the young guys that have a true chance at becoming MLB everyday players. As misguided as it may be, I lump Schafer into that group.

Brian Bogusevic agrees.

Would it change your mind if you were Millsie and you knew that Schreefer is hitting .125 against lefties?
-
Maxwell showed his youthfulness by allowing Bastardo (my favorite baseball name right now) to strike him out without throwing a strike. Lowrie strikes out swinging. Two outs.

I am not going to argue against it. Mills has to do what he can to keep his job. Just saying, schafer has less than 20 ABs against lefties

I probably leave Schreefer in the game in that situaion since Maxwell is even less experoienced than Schreefer.
-
LSU man Mike Fontenot on to pinch hit for Qualls, but he flies out to CF. 5-1 Top 9
-
Papelbon on to pitch the ninth.
-
Not thrilled with JD not being allowed to play his way out of his slump.
I think that they're close to sending him down to OkC. He's been really lost lately and is pressing.

8 games, that was how long his slump lasted before he got pulled from the lineup. I could see moving him down in the order, but axed all together so fricken Buck could start. Yeah, Buck who hasn't done a damn thing as a starter. If it wasn't for Buck's at bats as a pinch hitter, he may have been let go at this point.

If they're going to send him to OKC, they need to get it over with. I understand giving him days off to get his head straight, but riding the pine any longer isn't going to do him any good.

I see your point. Buck is really a reserve player who is best coming off of the bench. I probably would have just moved him down in the order first. I thought that it was a mistake to keep him in the three while he's struggling.
-
The ex-Met farm player (Fernando Martinez?) is doing a nice job at OKC. So is Ruggiano.
-
Actually the whole middle of the lineup is well-below ML average in production.
-
If they are going to move down people struggling offensively, there are more candidates than just Martinez. Those good at bats throughout the lineup early in the year are becoming a memory. Seeing a lot of at bats where they watch fastball strikes and swing at off-speed balls.

The entire club is in the hitting doldrums. Even Altuve has slowed down a lot.
