Tough breaks on both balls.

Definitely bad luck.

Seems the rest of the team just doesn't give a shit when it comes to defense.  I feel like the Astros are going to want a ten-rule rule.


ugh, this team is bad.

I rather think they think they just can't beat the Rangers.  I really want the Astros to help the A's win the division.

Even when the Rangers were shitty, the Astros had trouble with them in interleague play.

Yeah, Harrell deserved a better fate that inning.

I haven't seen him in awhile. Even when he has his good sinker and can throw a fair amount of strikes, he could sure use a go to secondary pitch.

Real nice work by Castro and Carter.

Well, Dominguez's nickname is domingo.

It's a bad sign when Brownie and Ashby are already dreaming on George Springer again in only the 3rd inning.

10 run lead and only 1 out in the 3rd.  leave this leblanc kid in and let him suffer. 

but at least bases aren't loaded right now.

My only regret in turning this off is that I love seeing position players pitch, and this game is certainly headed that way. Elmore? Barnes?

I think leblanc is going to be used until his arm falls off.

11 runs in one inning.

I said early in the night, before the third innng it felt like a ten run rule kind of night. I wad right.

Of course, the Astros scored their second run of the game.

That's pretty impressive.  Catches four innings and then throws a scoreless one.

I don't get the DH rule.  From previous games, I had assumed that if you were the DH, you couldn't substitute later as a defender.  This assumption came from listening to games when Castro and/or Corporan was DH'ing and the announcers were concerned about the catcher getting hurt.  When they used Elmore to replace Corporan, I again assumed my first assumption was correct, because otherwise, why wouldn't Castro have taken over at catcher after Corporan?  Then, Elmore went into pitch, and I wondered who caught, and saw it was Castro.  I also see that once Castro moved to catcher, no one filled the DH role.  I guess you lose the DH once the original DH moves to a defensive position. 

Fucking American League rules.
