Good lord, Eschenfelder never shuts up.
-
Great start for Musgrove. Quickly up 0-2, then walks the leadoff hitter.
-
We haven't seen the marksmanlike control Musgrove apparently featured annually in the minors.
-
Phillips just missed a MEAAAAAAAAAAAATBALL, fouled it off.
-
Phillips on pitch 11 swings over a slider and Inciarte, who had been running on the previous 6 pitches, was obviously gassed. He was going and was very out at 2nd.
-
You can't run (6 straight pitches) on Captain Caveman.

Inciarte walks.
Phillips swings and misses at a 3-2 slider and Inciarte is out by a lot attempting to steal.
Lurch Freeman swings and misses for strike 3.
Musgrove throws 139 pitches in the first, but looks pretty in the end.
Mid 1

Stream-of-consciousness announcing.

Bottom One
Jaime Garcia on the hill.
Springer fouls off the first two pitches he sees, including a fat fastball up in the zone. (sidenote: I really don't like Eschenfelder) Works the count full. Scalds one right at third baseman. Easy throw across gets him.
Beltran swings over a slider at the knees, ponche.
Altuve hits a 58 hopper to Phillips, 4-3 he's out.
Lackluster first inning from the Good Guys.
End 1.

I'm blacked out of any games involving Atlanta (as well as, mysteriously, Cincinnati), so am listening to these games and thus missing the Eschenfelder effect. But I think Ford and Sparks are always better than the TV crew. An advantage to streaming is you can combine radio feed with broadcast.
And another walk from Musgrove.
-
Top 2
Kemp grounds out to Bregman on pitch 9 of the AB. Musgrove will hit his pitch limit in the 3rd inning at this pace.
Markakis walks on a full count. 37 fucking pitches for 5 batters so far. Musgrove is rapidly approaching Fiers levels of aggravation for me today.
Adoucheis Garcia on only 4 pitches grounds in to a 4-6-3 doubleplay. Slick turn by Altuve, with the long distance side toss to Correa as he skipped across the bag.

Is that an option on the At Bat app, or do you need to be streaming through an actual computer to take advantage?
-
I'm not sure; I never watch on AtBat. But it works for the computer or any streaming service like Roku, AppleTV, etc.
-
Bottom 2
Correa grounds back to Garcia, 1-3.
Gattis takes a fucking meatball right down the pipe for strike one. Immediately flails at ball one off the outside corner. Having a good at bat, fouled off several pitches and taken a few. 2-2, and of course he swings at a bouncing slider. K.
Gurriel grounds to Phillips, who makes a nice diving play, gets up, and throws him out 4-3.

I'm off PBP for a few innings.

Posted this in TZ but will put it here for posterity. I found the in-market streaming on Astros.com/MLB.com. Go to astros.com, mouse over "Video" in the top nav bar, then click "Watch Live In-Market". You'll then be prompted to login. Chrome put me through a login loop for some reason, but IE works.

I am officially sick of Joe Musgrove this season.
-
Springer doubles home Marisnick with 2 out; Freeman ties it to lead off the 4th with a solo homer.

Musgrove protected that 1 run lead for 2 whole pitches.
-
Fuck you, Joe.
Two FAT fucking pitches.
-
Major League pitches don't get any easier to hit than that one.

He hangs too many pitches out over the plate.
-
After Correa draws a leadoff walk, Gattis hacks the first pitch into an easy 6U-3 double play. Allsome.

Gattis takes the fat ones and swings at the bad ones.
-
Annnnnnnnnnd Bregman misses a fat one and hits a popup to end the inning.
-
STOP HITTING IN TO FUCKING DOUBLE PLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Still can't believe he made two errors last night.
-
Move Correa out of the cleanup spot.
-
Correa says fuck you very much to Marty Foster after a terrible strike 2 call and rips a slider down the LF line for a 2 RBI double.
-
Move Correa out of the cleanup spot.
Oops, he's thinking otherwise.
-
Move Correa out of the cleanup spot.
(Context: He just hit a two out two-run double to take the lead. He's been quite good lately).

I expected there would be an reaction that my sarcastic comment would fall behind but I guess I screwed up the timing.

Yuli G!!
-
Did Ford and Sparks just have a discussion about someone named "Big Punt"?
-
As messy as he was this game, 6 innings and only 2 runs is a pretty good day for Musgrove.
-
I would very much like to sample whatever drugs the guys writing and directing the Astros Root Sports commercials are on.

It was Fiers-esque in that regard.
-
Gregerson coming in with a 2-run lead. Hope the scoreboard operator's fingers are ready.
-
I told my parents in the third grade that I wanted to be a big league player. I guess they didn't support me enough.
-
It would be nice if Luke didn't fuck this up.

More schlong-gorvelling homerism.
Any decent pitcher would have thrown 2 perfect games today.

You're in fine form today.

The journey was ugly, but the finish was nice.
Considering he'd thrown half a game's worth of pitches after 2 innings, it's incredible he made it 6.

He's been inspired by the Great Correa and his Golden Penis

Same here. They thought it was funny and laughed.
-

Don't ask me to ignore the fact that this "offense" has more freaking OUTS than runs.

So Gregerson didn't fuck up this time.
-
We would have better run production, considering our BA and OBP, if we didn't lead the world in hitting into double plays...but I'm still happy !
-
Gregerson gets a strikeout and weak contact twice... I'll take it.
-
If my last name was Motte, I'd pronounce it Maw-TEE.
-
At Shea stadium you could smell piss just walking around on the concourse.
-
More double play action for your viewing pleasure.
-
Two doubles today for Correa to match his two errors yesterday.
-
And here comes the dickstepping!
What the fuck was Marwin doing on that first one?
-
Marwin sorta botched that fly ball. Now a bunt single has the tying run on base with nobody out.
-
nice bunt
-
Big ponche there by Harris

Damn fine work by Harris.

Harris strikes out the side!

Will F'in Harris.

They're re-cycled from last year.
-
The Astros take care of business with a tidy two game sweep. This weekend's series should be interesting.
-
Ballgame.

Giles wasn't dicking around today.

If Crane weren't hoarding all his ill-gotten money to stuff more presents under the family tree instead of paying the man what he's worth, Correa would be able to afford a diamond cock worthy of his skills on the field.

4-1 on Wodensday.
