There are 2 outs in the 1st inning and I'm already tired of Ashby.  I hate how he uses the clearly inaccurate pitch tracker to be a contrarian dipshit.

This may be the first time I've heard the Halos announcers, they are refreshingly competent and informative.

This is unlistenable. And this home plate umpire is fucking dogshit.

Springer grounds out 5-3
Lowrie grounds to 1B, but Weaver, covering the bag, simply drops the throw...E1
Valbuena flies out F7
Gattis doubles down the LF line, Lowrie to 3B
Castro, with a chance to atone for that iron bar in his glove...grounds out 4-3 to end the threat.

After 4...Angels lead 1-0

Hernandez could really use some help from the bats (and gloves... Castro).
Title: Re: Halos @ Astros April 17, 2015
Post by: jbm on April 17, 2015, 08:25:50 pm
Castro did what he could. Looked to me like it bounced up to his upper chest, he gloved and brought the tag down late. Not sure how he screwed up.

By letting it bounce up into his chest.  Turn the glove over and don't let the ball get to your body.

Altuve comes through with a RBI single!!! Runners on the corners with one out, tie game. Altuve steals second.

Fuck Marisnick.  Pull your head out of your ass.

What the fuck. Springer comes through and Marisnick drops a turd.

Marisnick doesn't tag and score on a potential sac fly by Springer.
Title: Re: Halos @ Astros April 17, 2015
Post by: HudsonHawk on April 17, 2015, 08:40:32 pm
And Lowrie grounds out to end the inning.  Marisnick's dick stomp cost the Astros the lead.

Boy Rasmus gave up on that ball awfully early.

By the time these guys get here they've been playing ball for at least 15 years. Why do they make 1st-year mistakes?

Well shitfuck.  Trout with a 2-run homer.

Trout puts a 2 run dinger in the Crawford boxes. That missed run by Marisnick hurts. I hope he never does that again.

I don't think I can claim to be Colby Rasmus' biggest fan.

According to ashby, Castro will be embarrassed when he sees the tape of his HR swing.

I switched over to the Angels broadcast. They don't talk all the time. They tend to let the picture tell the story. Almost too sparse but kind of nice compared to the mind-numbing  Ashby bantering. I'll listen for another half inning at least.

Grossman leads off the bottom of the 7th with a bloop single. The Angels opt for a new pitcher again.
Title: Re: Halos @ Astros April 17, 2015
Post by: HudsonHawk on April 17, 2015, 09:20:32 pm
Altuve's gotta be bunting here.
Title: Re: Halos @ Astros April 17, 2015
Post by: Col. Sphinx Drummond on April 17, 2015, 09:21:23 pm
Villar (pinch hitting) hits a flare to shallow RF, just like Grossman. men on first and second with no outs. Altuve at the plate.
Title: Re: Halos @ Astros April 17, 2015
Post by: Col. Sphinx Drummond on April 17, 2015, 09:23:35 pm
Altuve walks, bases juiced, no outs for Springer.

Spring ties it up with a sac fly.

Tie game, now runners on the corners with one out. Another pitching change.

Post by: HudsonHawk on April 17, 2015, 09:29:15 pm
Boy that hurts.  Bases loaded, no outs, and you squeeze out one run.

Post by: chuck on April 17, 2015, 09:29:42 pm
It's true, with JD Brown used to be an A, A- PBP guy, second only to an immortal like Scully. Now he's at best a C+.

I didn't mind Ashby so much on the radio. He was dry, sure, and a bit fake, but not the total dick he's become. It's a weird change. Intriguing, even.
