Ash and Blummer absolutely flummoxed by the idea that if you score first you are more likely to win.

Here we go again with McHugh.

Good lord. Come on McHugh, why are you giving him anything he can even kinda hit 0-2? That was fucking terrible.

Gonzales has been on fire.

Sparks said it was a hung breaking ball right down the middle

Sparks is wrong.

It was about knee high, but it was more of an Aunt Charlene than an Uncle Charlie.

It was at his knee on the inside corner.  It wasn't a terrible pitch.

And that is the recurring theme with him lately.

It was low in the zone and in a bit. It was not a horrible pitch by any means, nor was it really a hanger.

Bah, might as well stare at gameday if the announcer is going to be that wrong.

Post by: HudsonHawk on June 18, 2015, 02:49:45 pm
I think so.

He has options left, but he's in his fourth year in the big leagues, so depending on when he was called up in 2012, he may have to clear waivers to be optioned.

Ashby forgets the Astros have a run

Correa grounds to SS, Springer erased 6-4, runners at the corners with and 1 out for Tucker.

T5:

Tucker with a double on a 3-0 pitch drives in Correa...Astros take back the lead 4-3.

Ashby babbling about low humidity being good for your skin.

Carter with a double!!!  Tucker scores... now 5-3 Astros, still one out.

Post by: HudsonHawk on June 18, 2015, 03:54:05 pm
Valbuena singles, Carter had to freeze, so he only makes 3B.  But runners at the corner for Castro

Castro down on strikes, Marisnick down on strikes, but the Astros score 2...take a 5-3 lead.

McHugh finishes out the 6th.  I'm sure that's all for him.  Not his best day, but only four hits and three runs in Coors isn't a terrible day,

It seems like all of his decent outings lately have been of the "well it wasn't pretty, but I guess it kind of worked" variety

Is that not enough?  If he doesn't throw a 2-hit shutout, he should be sent packing?

In field on Carter?  Why?  It's either a K or you want to be back.

Correa with a double, and steals 3B again.  But this time Carter strikes out looking.

Hey Luis, you do realize that you can't hit the ones that are on the ground out of the ballpark, right?

Carter, Valbuena and Castro have combined for 8 strikesouts...in 7 innings.

Why not toss in Marisnick for a cool 10 Ks?

Another blue star for Springer!  Diving catch on a blooper to RF.

Ground ball ends the inning

We've played 7...or three hours, depending on how you want to look at it...Astros up 5-3

Marisnick has to leave the game with hamstring.  I'm guessing he's also "day to day".

Earlier this season the Stros were pitching great and not hitting. The games were running well under 3 hours. Now the pitching is not so great but the hitting is on fire, and the games are running well over 3 hours. I kinda miss the pitching duels.

B8:

Leadoff double, then Neshek gets two punchouts. 

Strikes out Barnes twice, for like the fourth time today, but apparently it's against the rules to call him out, so he walks
Single makes it 8-4, still two runners on with 2 out.

Valbuena grabs the Golden Sombrero to end the 9th...the Astros 17th strikeout of the day.

Fields will try to close out the 8-4 lead.

1-2-3 9th to secure the win.

Astros sweep two 2-game series, or one 4-game series, depending on who you ask.
