God damnit. Can't fucking anyone put the ball in play???

That was awful

I can't watch today since I'm in the office, but, on the radio, the only sound I could make out was a light whimper and muffled tears.
-
Fuck this entire fucking team. What a fucking disgrace. And if anyone has any advice how to clamp one of those tiny fucking rings that will secure the chain between the toilet handle and the flapper, by all means let me know, because I'm about to punch the fucking cat.
And with that, I'm off to pick up the kids.

If we let Salazar get untracked, the next 70-80 pitches are going to be brutal.

I could put on my high school band uniform and have a better chance of scoring.

Is there a worse team w RiSP?!

Amazingly yes.
Altuve now getting the Bonds/Harper treatment.

Salazar on pace for 27 Ks today.

Ties a major league record.

In case anyone wanted to know the Astros LOB record ...

Good shot to break that today

It's probably more likely the Astros don't even get 11 more base-runners all game though. That 2004 Houston offense, even without Beltran, was pretty good.
But hey, 2 more in the 3rd inning so far.
-
The baseball gods were displeased when all that promotional BS came on...
-
"The most runners left on base during a nine-inning shutout is sixteen. It has occurred twice in Major League history: May 24, 1994, when St. Louis shutout Philadelphia, and May 7, 1998, when Seattle shutout Toronto."
The AL record for LOB in any 9-inning game is 20. The NL record is 18.
-
If I was pitching against the Astros, I'd pitch around 1-3 and make 4-9 beat me.

See yesterday's recap for just how bad 7-9 are.
-
Speaking of bad umpiring, Springer walks on an absolute gift to bring up Correa with 2 on, 2 out.
-
Indians fail to heed Happy's words; with 2 outs, double-walk-single at the top of the lineup plates Altuve to tie the game at 2.

LHP Crockett on to face Rasmus. Whereabouts of Tubbs unknown.

Rasmus works the walk and we'll have another pitching change.

Another bases loaded, 2 out opportunity for the Astros.

Another bases loaded, 2 out opportunity for the Astros.
And then there were twelve...

Marwin grounds back to the mound on the first pitch. 12 LOBsters through six.
-
Another bases loaded, 2 out opportunity for the Astros.
And Marwin bounces out. Another 3 LOB.

Besides that one game against KC, Fister has been pretty solid.
-
Just so everyone feels better, Giles is warming up.

And of course, after Marwin leaves the bases loaded, Valbuena leads off the 7th with a single.

Valbuena to 2B on a sacrifice...Stassi with a chance to give the Astros the lead...

Confucius say ... "If not a hold situation in the 8th inning, can't use best 8th inning guy."
Hinch is a believer.

Like that play by Gomez - gave himself at least a chance to leg it out.

Announcers say it's Harris warming up.
Stassi K's w/RISP...imagine that.
-
Tucker!!!
-
Tucker...3-0...3-1...singles to LF, Valbuena scores...Astros grab a 3-2 lead!!!
-
Finally! And Fister in line for the win he def earned.
-
Altuve deserves half credit for that one (although wasn't a bad pitch).

I agree. Talk about protection for the 9 hole hitter.

A constant stream of 6 IP / 3 ER is about what you'd expect from your #5 guy.
-
Altuve with an infield single...challenge...

Reversed...inning over. Astros 3-2

That's what you'd want from your #5 guy, would be interested to see how many teams actually get it.
-
Well. That sucked.
-
Sigh.
-
That's on Blum and Brownie, assuming the win can bite you in the ass.
-
Terrible at-bats in the 9th. Swinging at shit that's not even close to the strike zone.
-
Rain down the boos on this shitty, shitty team, Houston.
-
Ugly. Valbuena and Gomez were up there to swing at anything. Chamberlain knew it.

Shit sandwich.

Scouting report: do not throw anything near the strike zone. If you must throw a strike, offer something that moves--just a little bit should do. Try to remain composed and not giggle when/if they fall down while swinging and/or a helmet pops off in comic fashion.
-
Time for first walk off win of the year.
-
C'mon Correa!
-
So is there blame to placed anywhere (other than the players themselves) on so many Astro hitters having such fucking horrendous starts this season? It would be easier to make a list of people that seemed to be ready to play on April 1st than those who weren't. I don't get it. This is more than regression.
C'mon Correa, make me forget the shitty parts of today's game.
-
That should do it. No way the Astros hold the Cleveland offense at bay until the lineup turns back over to Altuve.
-
Maybe they should dispense with the Ken Giles intro music until he can pitch a couple of scoreless appearances.
-
First pitch is a 97-mph fastball deposited by Napoli into left field.
-
Foul out to third by Santana. Runner on first, one out.
-
Why pull Feldman?
-
Why pull Feldman?
Because we can't have nice things.
-
Seems strange, since realistically we are probably going to need someone who can go 5-6 innings.
-
Byrd strikes out in a 3-2 pitch. Runner on first, two outs.
-
Gomes flies out to right. To the bottom of the 11th. Indians and Astros knotted at 3.
-
See, should've had Giles close.
-
Apropos of nothing, I fucking hate Bob Davidson.
-
He's going to try and bunt it.
-
Told you.
-
New prediction - Gomez caught stealing.
-
Eric Kratz batting here is the downside of carrying a surfeit of pitchers on the 25.
-
Fuck you, Bob.
-
We need a gif of springers reaction to that ck swing call. It could be used as any Astros fan reaction to this crappy brand of baseball we have all subjected ourselves to.
-
I don't blame Luhnow for much. But having Kratz on a major league roster is just gross malpractice.

No, we wouldn't have a third catcher anyway. The problem is that Kratz is in no way shape or form qualified to hit major league pitching.

Besides, it's going to be a big advantage in the 18th. The problem is, who is going to catch Kratz when he pitches?

This "bonus" baseball is the jelly of the month club equivalent.

Feliz is becoming fun to watch. I just turned this thing on in the 13th. Do I want to watch the tape?

My suggestion is watch the top of each inning and fast forward through the bottom.
-
Listening to Brown and Blum, why the fuck do they have Ashby?
-
I appreciate the first base ump's enthusiasm, but what a fucking terrible out call at first.

How in the fuck can that guy be called out? That was in no way close.

Did he not notice that there was someone on base? What the hell?

Apparently Bob Davidson called this game to make sure that Kratz wasn't the worst at his job on the field.
