LAIRD!!
-
Matty D with another fine play.
3-1 Astros, bottom 4.
-
By the way, does anyone else think Jeff Baker looks like Keith Law?
-
Fucking bloody hell. 2 outs, nobody on, then Keuchel opens the floodgates, hit, HBP, walk, double, more, more, and boom, 3-1 turns into a 6-3 deficit in the 4th. And Dominguez robs Beltre twice in the same inning.
-
Beltre, dick that he is, responds by robbing Clark of his 5th major league hit.
-
in the 5th, Villar walks and Altuve IF singles with 2 outs, but Dominguez flies out to CF. Keuchel apparently got the Rangers in order in the bottom half.
-
Carter hits an IF single to 2B, then advances to 2nd with 1 out on a ball that trickles not that far away from the catcher. Yes, I'm serious. But Laird grounds out to SS and Hoes gets robbed on a nice scoop by Moreland of a grounder down the 1B line, could've been a double, or RBI single at least.
-
I think I'm done. The echoes in here are starting to sound scary.

I apologize for tuning in during the 4th inning. I got there just in time to see the 2-out hit that started the unraveling. I should have known better, but knowing that this would most likely be the last time I'd see the Astros this year, I went for it anyway.

I did, too. I mean I turned the game on and literally the first thing I see is a base clearing double. These are the first three games that I have actually gone out of my way to want the Astros to win. It's hard to imagine well over a hundred games of having your nuts stomped like this.

According to the Ranger radio announcers, and they're not near as bad as their TV couple, the Astros have given up 80 unearned runs this year. Think about that...1/2 a run each game unearned. This was brought to our attention in the inning in which the Rangers scored without benefit of a hit but had something like a man reach on Villar's daily error , stolen base, wild pitch, and score on a potential DP ball that slip out of Altuve's hand on the pivot.

The road is long, with many a winding turn (http://www.spikesnstars.com/2013/09/26/astros-set-new-franchise-record/).

Altuve had zero chance at a DP on that play. Andrus or someone very fast running; ball wasn't hit hard enough.

Villar's penchant for the errors on the routine plays is unnerving.
