Watching from afar...

Actually, I am still trying to work put if I have the stomach to watch too much more Astros baseball.

It ain't 0-0 no more.

Fuck tha Mets.

For a second there I thought that was a Lisa Gray mention, but it was Linda Gray. Whew.

Lyles just hit 96 on his fastball, and of course serves up a solo knock to Wright on the next pitch. It's 2-1 Good Guys.

Looks like the HR hit the base of the foul pole.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:20:44 pm
One out in the fourth and Lyles walks Ike Davis. Turner up.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:21:41 pm
Lyles plunks Turner in the elbow with the first pitch. He's got too much movement on his pitches.

Valdespin fans on a nasty two-seamer at the ankles.

Wait, he had a nose job already and it didn't help. (http://deadspin.com/5886585/mets-pitcher-jon-niese-got-a-nose-job-after-carlos-beltran-suggested-it-and-offered-to-pay-for-it)

Came in on a 3-0 pitch but didn't give up and got a F7 out of it to end the fourth. 2-1 Astros.

Yeah, but it wasn't a cosmetic one, more of a routing.

Lyles pops out to shallow right, Altuve grounds out to SS on the next pitch.

That looked like the ball dropping into a roulette wheel slot.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:31:28 pm
Gonzalez grounds out. With offenses like this, it should be a quick game.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:34:39 pm
I don't know if it's the four-seamer or not, but whatever pitch it is, it keeps blowing up and away from a LH hitter on him, way up and out.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:35:10 pm
Real fine changeup gets Thole to swing and miss for the K.

Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:36:56 pm
Tejada grounds out on a nifty pickup by Greene to end the fifth and it's still 2-1 Astros.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12

Wallace lines out to left, one down. Francisco up.

Francisco whiffs on a big curve. Two down, Pearce up.

Another 96 mph fastball on the outside corner, followed by a 92 mph two-seamer inside that was fouled off.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:49:10 pm
Wright gets a piece of a breaking ball. Not sure Lyles has anything that's fooling Wright tonight, he's shown him just about everything.

THANKS, RB. Did you get my recap up yet? I guess that I could go check for myself.

Wright hits another drive into the RF corner, but Pearce grabs the carom and nails Wright steaming into second for the out. Great throw.

Davis lines out to Altuve and it's still 2-1 after six.

That was a nice throw by Pearce.

Lyles might want to work the inside against Wright next time up.

Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:54:08 pm
Greene with a no-doubter off the facing in the second deck and it's 3-1!
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:55:04 pm
Niese threw a medium cookie up. And Snyder just thwacked a shot past Valdespin in left for a double.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12

No movement at all on Niese's pitches right now.

Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 07:55:57 pm
Bunt by Barnes advances Snyder. One down, and F-Mart hits for Lyles.

Greene hit the snot out of that one.

And F-Mart does just what you don't want him to do, strikes out on a bad pitch. Two down, Altuve up.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Mr. Happy on August 24, 2012, 08:00:21 pm
My wife even questioned that pinch hit call.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 08:02:11 pm
Niese looks like he's gassed, losing control of his curve. Altuve comes back from 0-2 and gets a walk.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fucking steM 08/24/12
Post by: Ron Brand on August 24, 2012, 08:06:07 pm
Marwin strokes a curve to short and Tejada just gets Altuve at second to end the inning.

Oh yes, the new Mrs. Jack commercial. Oh my.

Francisco in to pitch to Bogey.
