Lowrie is killing them. He is a huge hole in the line up.

Doug Eddings is a terrible umpire.

Astros grab the lead 1-0 in the top of the third, thanks to Hanks speed on the bases.

Valbuena rips one down the 1B line, Rasmus and Gomez scored. Astros 3-0. 1 out.

Marisnick drives in Valbuena from 2B on a line drive up the middle. Astros 4-0. 2 outs.

Altuve hits an eye-level pitch into RF.

All of a sudden the strike zone has completely changed. WTF?

Got out of bases loaded no outs with only 1 run scoring. Astros 4-1.

More doubles power from Conger.

More doubles power from Conger.


I thought that was more about his blistering speed on the base paths?

This play is going to be overturned, but I sure like having Marisnick in the outfield.

Lorie is not hitting but he is not "killing them."

I don't know Jim.  Until that walk he was 0 for 3.  If it were solely up to Lowrie there wouldn't have been a single run.

He was running before the game and felt good.

Nice catch by Lowrie.  He killed that at-bat.

I have been on the home feed most of the night because the Astros feed freezes a lot.  They (Astros) did talk about some of the Astros injuries early in the game.  Stassi is enroute, Springer playing at CC tonight and Carlos just hang around resting,

MarGo ks.  Useless.
Gates walks. 
Reassume gets to first on an E1, Gattis to 2nd
Gomanzez Ks.  Thank goodness the 'Stros got Fiers in that trade.
Loire lines the ball straight Escobar.  What a huge hole in the lineup.

Top of the 9th, 4-1 Astros.
