Wow, the Astros actually don't have anybody 1-8 tonight who's batting lower than .240 (the cleanup hitter, of course). That might be the first in a while.
-
That 1-1 pitch Wallace popped out on was eye-high.
-
Did FSN lower the picture quality? Looks really shitty.
-
What the hell happened there? Castro double-clutched and still threw out Jay (17 SB, 4 CS) by about 8 feet.
-
Hey, Castro threw Jay's ass out. Fuck Jay.

Who are JD and Brownie talking with in the booth right now?!?
-
fuck the jakes
what is this babbling with someone in the owners group

I don't know, but he sure isn't the poster boy for inspirational speaking.
-
How come there's no space between the Astros and their position in the lineup, but there is for the Terdinals?

I think I read that his high and away chase rate is by far the worst in the majors.

I'll treat that question as rhetorical.
-
Don't run on Yadier Molina.

Heh heh heh.

Good grief.

JD and Moore in the OF have really cost the Astros this inning.

Calling Jay's hit a double was particularly generous.
-
Jay gunned down by Castro for the 2nd time tonight. WTF was he thinking there, going for 3rd with 2 outs?
-
Is there a rain delay or something?

Are you at work and depending on us for PBP?

I'm out here in the Pearl Islands getting my Jeff Kent on.

Fuck yes.

Make sure that truck is CLEAN.
-
Fuck yes.
Sucks for you.
We're in the bottom of the 7th, Cards up 3-0. They've got a man on 1st with no outs, and Kozmo Kramer (or somebody Kozma) at the plate.
There's been the usual slap-dickery in the field by the Astros: JD getting outfoxed by the LF wall to produce a triple(!) for Neck-tat Molina, Altuve jogging after a ball that bounced off his glove so that Holliday to make it to third, the usual sort of stuff. But Dominguez made a really nice play on a bad-hop ball to his left to start a DP. I really like what I see of his defense.
-
Didn't we already know that Martinez was a 1B/DH?
-

Well, we do now.
Meanwhile, John Jay got a two-out single to drive in the Cards' fourth run. The Mole is up now. And Jay has some ridiculous arm-brushing routine that he goes through after a hit. Must think he's a fucking Ranger.
-
On to the top of the 8th.
Paredes leads off with a pinch-hit bloop single to RF.
-
Altuve singles to right. Runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Moore up.
-
Fuck yes.
Some people, they like to watch baseball
And other peoples, the haaaaave to work
Watch me now!
-
Moore flies out to LCF, Paredes advances to third with one out. Wallace up to wave at some high and outside stuff.
-
Wallace with a broken-bat looper to LF, scoring Paredes and moving Altuve to second. No more shutout for the Shitbirds!
-
Maxwell strikes out on a pretty good sinker for the second out. Now the Ghost of Tony LaRussa is out to make another pitching change.

Well, now it's B8 and the score's still 4-1, so apparently we didn't get the job done.
Freese just blew up his bat on a dribble up the middle and winds up with a single as Astros go jumping over pieces of lumber (Valdez is in to pitch). DeScalso up.
-
Thanks for the updates, by the way.
-
DeScalso grounds out to short. Onward to the 9th.
-
JD Martinez leads off with a swinging strikeout. He's carrying himself like a guy who's ready for the season to be over.
Castro's next, and makes an out somehow.
Dominguez grounds out to third, and that's the ball game.
-
Castro at least made Motte work with a ten pitch at-bat. Small consolation.
