Time to win a fuckin' game, boys. Here we go.
-
Marwin walk, Correa rocket double off the LCF wall, and Gattis 5-3 groundout give Astros a 1-0 lead in the 1st.
-
McCullers is fucking sick to death of all this fucking losing. Strikes out the side in bottom 1, and I swear Longoria somehow swung under a low, 96-mph heater to end the inning. Looks like the kid is getting some crazy movement so far.
-
Castro gets a bloop single off the trademark, but that's it in the 2nd as Altuve flies out to CF for out #3.
-
The goddam fucking Rays of Un-Devilish SUnshine get 2 runs off McCullers, as perenially-mediocre David DeJesus triples to score Forsythe, then scampers home on a "Wild Pitch" swinging strike that Castro probably should've blocked better.
2-1 TB.

The Tampa PA announcer sounds like death warmed over.

That's not a little kid on a crappy speaker?

Correa walked and Gattis ripped a single off Longoria's glove down the 3B line, but the Astros get nothing as Carter rudely makes the 3rd out while I'm taking a piss.
-
Right said Fred discussion and intros off the break? I hate this road trip.

McCullers sets the side down in order in the 3rd, including a K of John Jaso, who is a 31-year-old white man with embarrassingly hideous dreadlocks.
-
Finally!
-
Altuve says "FUCK THIS" and swats a 2-run dinger to put the Astros up 3-2.
-
LJ Hoes won't make you squint and wonder if that's really George Springer out there in RF.
-
McCullers gets 'em 1-2-3 in the 4th, now with 8 strikeouts.
-
Finally!
Have the Astros scored 3 runs in a game since the last win?
-
Evan Gattis loves to swing at balls.
Astros go quietly in the 5th.

I don't think so.

Among the many many things that Alan Ashby does not like, you can include cheese.

And haggis, although he has no idea what it is.
-
DeJesus and Elmore hit fucking annoying singles, then Casali draws a walk, bringing up Jaso. Fucking Jaso.
-
John Jaso, who undoubtedly jerks off while fantasizing about drawing bases-loaded walks, does what he does best: stands there fucking doing nothing.
Now a FC scores another run, Rays up 4 fucking 3. God dammit.
-
Nice to see Carter finally trying to, you know, hit the fucking ball instead of just standing there Jaso style.
-
Castro at least getting some non-feeble hacks there. Takes a walk, bringing up Altuve. Time for a clutch hit.

Not to be.
-
Someone tell Altuve to stop swinging for the fences.
-
For some reason, my internet connection is suddenly unable to show more than about 10 seconds of a baseball game without freezing for another 5-10.
-
Boy, Correa really had a pitch to drive there and turned it into a 5-3 out instead.

Sadly, I'm not exaggerating. This is fucking irritating.

Who's your provider? A couple weeks ago my U-Verse was doing the same thing: I could watch for 15 seconds or so, and then it would freeze. I could change channels and watch 15 seconds of something else, and then it would freeze again. And on and on. I finally had to reboot the gateway to solve the problem.
-
Bothers me that a guy with as much power as Gattis only musters a 268 OBP. Hacks at everything. He and Altuve are horrendous at pitchers per plate appearance. At least Altuve maintains a decent average

We've got TWC here in NC. Rebooting the modem didn't help but fingers crossed, restarting the Apple TV is working so far.

Yeah, Gattis has been a disappointment, overall, for me. He's had some clutch RBI, but I suspect he's also had a ton of RBI opportunities. And a lot of his ABs are just incredibly ugly.
-
I missed it, but I'm gonna take a wild-ass guess and say Thatcher walked Jaso.
-
Routine 8-3 double play to end the bottom of the 8th.
-
Wow, what the fuck was Jaso thinking there? Colby ran that down easily.

Didn't last.
-
Cueto with an ugly 5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 2 K effort today in an 8-1 loss to the Marlins. He's been really up-and-down this year; I'd be reluctant to give up much for that kind of inconsistent performance.
-
What a miserable road trip.

Had a tweet about a week ago, something like "Barring an unexpected collapse, the Astros will finish the 1st half with more Wins than they had in all of 2013." Clearly, this is all his fault.

He's horrible. And he's been there from the beginning.
Also, on Sundays they have a 'guest announcer' for an inning which is a little kid doing exactly what they tell him to do. "N-o-w b-a-t-t-i-n-g...t-h-i-r-d b-a-s-e-m-a-n...E-v-a-n L-o-n-g-o-r-i-a."

It sounded fucking horrible on TV. I can't even imagine how bad it is in person.

there was an outage in the Austin area.
