If I ever meet the guy from the Husky Liners commercial I will punch him in the face.

That brick red looks awfully familiar - remember being upset with MLB for allowing the DBacks to change to this color from the previous purple & teal when it looked just like ours.

Pollack homers to cf, and I realize that I'm going to curse freely in front of my kids.

No botch there...you don't want that throw to go to the plate. Gotta score that run.

There was no way they were catching Altuve. Gotta make sure the throw goes through before you go.

No way. You can't let that throw get to the plate. Springer was rounding second and didn't know what would happen. He has to draw a cut. That was good baserunning.

Exactly ... If he gets to watch the replay three times, maybe he can hold up, but ...

Have there been formal complaints to the Astros about the abomination with a mic that is Alan Ashby? Or are they under the delusion that people love him?
-
That's 6 called strikes in the last 7 pitches Rasmus has
seen looked for.

The danger in starting a rookie in a game like this.

Lance is going to be very good once he gets his head under control..

That was more of a nervous tic than a balk

Balk. Fuck, fuck, double fuck.

I presume this means that Marisnick will be in CF in the bottom of the inning, which I guess means that Marwin will be in LF for the duration of the game. Or is Gomez actually available?

Question for Hudson: has there ever been an occasion you have seen where a batter with two strikes sees a pitch coming that is obviously going to get away from the catcher, and swings and misses on purpose to try and take first base? Or is it simply too hard to tell what the pitch is going to do or too hard to run 90 feet in time to take that chance?
-
Wow. Springer is running extremely aggressively today. Awesome.
-
A two-out hit would be nice ...
-
Or a wild pitch!

I've never seen that at the professional level. It just happens too fast, and you're trained to not swing at pitches that are ridiculously wild.

Chafin in for the DBacks
Valbuena flies out F8 on the first pitch
Chafin out, Hudson in
Altuve with a liner right at the second baseman

This is not a reliable bullpen anymore, says the master of the obvious.

Qualls not nails.

Certain Astros beg to differ on the last point.

What the offensive taketh, the bullpen frequently giveth away.

That's the Qualls I don't like to see.

So if we play Weds, who pitches? Fiers? Kuechel on short rest?

I mean Tuesday

We should play Tuesday and keuchel without a doubt, for me
-
Is "filthiest" the most overused baseball term these days? A pitcher having filthy stuff, I understand. Filthiest plays? I know what they mean, but couldn't they try something more original?
-
Let's discuss Tuesday after this game is over.
-
B7:
Pollock singles to RF on the first pitch
Pollock steals 2B as Qualls forgets he has a runner on base
Wild pitch moves Pollock to 3B as Castro lets it go right between his legs
Goldschmidt...infield in...full count...homers to LF, Pollock scores
That's all for Qualls, Perez in
Saltalamacchia pops out F4
Hill lines out to LF
Lamb grounds back to the mound, and Perez's throw pulls Carter off the bag as Carter stretches with the wrong leg...Hinch challenge...looks like it should be overturned...yep, overturned, 1-3
After seven....5-3 DBacks.
-

Yeah, but McCullers has to be able to stay in this game longer. His own mistakes cost him.
-
Rangers win. Astros get the wild card.
-
Wild card clinched. Home field still up in the air.

Tuesday official, just a question now of whether you guys get to go or I do

Angels lose, Officially wild card winners

And they did it by winning at least four games on a six-game, season-ending road trip, which was looking pretty scary a week ago.

Not much of a celebration in the dugout. Hopefully they'll be enjoying another Tuesday night.

10 years in the wilderness over. Now need to find some tickets

Good for Altuve. 200 hits and he gets to the post season. I hope that he takes a moment to savor it.

I understand. But I'm excited they get to keep playing.
