as usual most excellent
-
I know this has happened a few times this season, but why the fuck is Cedeno DH'ing? How about any of Wallace, Castro, Pena or even Krauss.
(edited to remove Maxwell - just read about the DL)

maybe he wants to keep them fresh for the playoffs

All of your suggestions are left-handed hitters. Wilson is a portsider.
-
0-0 Top 2, as we go in order in the bottom of the first.
-
Harrell is working quickly and gets through the second frame unscathed. 0-0 Bottom 2
-
thanks

But Cedeno sucks, regardless of which side of the plate he stands on during his increasingly embarrassing ABs.
-
Shitfuck. Altuve hit the crap out of that ball, I thought it was destined for the LF corner. Great play by Collapse-o.
-
That's hilarious. Carter's teammates made him a shirt for BP that says "Serrano" on the back.
"Straight ball, I hit good. Low-and-away slider..."
-
There are times that I think JD Martinez will never be an MLB-caliber hitter. Then there are times that... ah, hell, even when he has a good game or games I remain completely unconvinced that it will continue. Seems like a nice kid though.
-
In case anyone is actually here, and wondering, the Angels are up 1-0 in the middle of the 5th. Harrell has been up in the zone a little but gotten away with it. Wilson has a filthy/deceptive slider going.

Matt Dominguez has a .260 OBP.

I'm watching on my laptop while cleaning out my tool shed. it's hard to post and watch at the same time.

I have much more hope for Dominguez going forward than I do for JD.
-
Harrell takes a Kendrick liner off his left shin that knocks him down and shakes it off like nothing happened. Kind of like Kendrick getting hit in the noggin yesterday.
-
Harrell just made Trumbo look silly, striking out on an 0-2 (breaking?) ball a foot outside.
-
Down 1 to 0 the Astros have runners on the corners with no outs in the 6th.
-
Elmore looks like a chipmunk, doesn't he?
-
[/Altuve] glove, glove, helmet, helmet, glove, glove, helmet, helmet, glove, glove [end/Altuve]
-
Altuve lines out to third, then Callaspo throws the ball away trying to double up Elmore at first. Barnes scores and Elmore advances to second. tie game. man on second. One out.

Collapse-o looked completely foolish on that play. Like, that play would've fit right in on the 2012 Astros defensive bloopers reel. Had no shot at Elmore either.

SS is a black hole right now. Damn I miss Lowrie!

well, they got something for him at least
-

He has more teeth than a 1/2 dozen Osmonds.
-
Little League HR for Hamilton there. GOod grief, what an abysmal relay throw from Elmore.
-
Hamilton with a double, but scores on a ridiculously bad throw by Elmore. 3-1 Angels now.

I think a good throw means 0 runs score there instead of 2. Fuck.

Even a quasi-decent throw gets the runner. It took a monumental fuck up to give up two runs there. That was as bad a throw as you will ever see in professional baseball.

Yep.

Thanks for showing up today, Corporan. 4 Ks.

Bagwell could have thrown better with his left hand.
-
What a hilarious AB by JD.
-
Well that was fucking ugly.
-
Crap.
-
Wallace hit the ball well but Hamilton tracks it down in CF for the last out, Angels win 3-1.
-
i am starting to harbor some hatred for these al teams
-
Well that was fucking ugly.
What, the game, or Castro swinging through two fastballs and striking out?
-
Shitty game and too late for sleep, it is going to be a long day.

All of the above. Plus the play of the Astros "shortstop".

Maybe the Astros are intentionally subjecting us to lots of Cedeno and Elmore so that when they bring up the notoriously error-prone Villar, he'll seem not that bad by comparison. Shit, having to watch half a year of Cedeno's fielding and hitting actually has me wishing they'd kept Tyler fucking Greene, who I hated with a passion.

This. This right here.

Why was Marwin sent down? I don't care if he hits .000, the kind of clown defense we're being subjected to now is downright depressing.

He was sent down because he wasn't hitting, and Elmore was hitting in AAA.

But, if you take some time off, you might miss your chance to see Jimmy Paredes play right field!

And you might miss a play as spectacular as Elwood's today. For the majority of you who didn't see it please know that Elwood was in normal relay position, ten yards or so into the grass in shallow left, maybe a bit more. Barnes delivered him a good throw and it looked for all the world that Hendricks or whoever it was was going to be out at the plate. Instead Elwood manages to throw the ball nearly into the dugout. Just imagine that. The circle of dirt around the plate is, what, ten yards in diameter? The ball didn't come anywhere close to traveling over the home plate area dirt. It basically sailed over the on-deck circle.
When I was on the school's basketball team in junior high some idiot found a jar of stickum. We all thought it was great fun to smear it all over us and palm a basketball, waving it around like were were Dr J or something. Well, a couple of these rocket scientists never bothered to wipe that shit off before the game, or they didn't see the need, one. This one fellow, I can't for the life of me remember his name although I can picture him clearly, he had a wad of it all over his hands and in the opening minutes of the game he tried to make a normal pass to a teammate up the court. The ball stuck to his hand and went flying out of bounds damn near perpendicular to where he was trying to send the ball. The coach was furious, of course, and called time out immediately to take this goon out of the game. Meanwhile of course there are four guys out there on the court furiously wiping their hands on their shorts, socks, whatever they can think of, all with alarmed expressions on their faces.
That was the first thing I thought of when Elwood's throw sailed into the great, yawning nothingness. This idiot must have pine tar on his throwing hand.

Elmore's reply was interesting. Basically emotionless when asked about the play. "Errant throw" was how he described it.

That's like a basketball player at the foul line, throwing the shot into the scorer's table and saying "I missed the free throw".

Fielder's decision.
