Astros get a hit, but can't move him along.

Outfield Fisher, Springer, Reddick

These are the worst unis in Astros history. Why not use navy instead of the sky blue?

They are beyond embarrassing.
-
After one out, Trout takes four pitches over the plate for a walk. No wonder this guy hits .300. His strike zone is the size of a nickel.

You should get a look at the Yankees uniforms tonight.

It looks like MLB had to do something with all the unlicensed jerseys and hats they’ve seized over the years...

Yeah, looks like another night of embarrassing strike zone umpiring.

Gattis back to butchering the routine.

What's the purported reason for Stassi to go the DL?

Inflamed hand. I had one off and on between 13 and 29. Sometimes twice a day

Hand discomfort or something like that.

Great, another two-out RBI.

Sorry, we only hit into them. We don't turn them.

That one bounced three feet in front of the plate. The first one was brutal and it cost a run.

Has Marwin hit a ball out of the infield in the last week?

That was a cumulative comment, not just the one that bounced in front of the plate.
But the casual saunter over to get it was also not great.

Strike 3, 4 inches outside!
-
Now Beltran called out on a pitch two feet off the plate.
Seriously, this has been FUck The Astros Month from the umps.

I think after Hinch's rant, the unos have collectively decided "oh yeah, you ain't seen nothin' yet"

Hinch needs to double-down and make their perfidy unmistakable. I'd go so far as to pull up heat maps for and against at a press conference.

These colors are cool on a late 1960's Ford GT. They're extremely uncool on a late 2010's Astros team.

He's got the down-to-his-knees part figured out, but his helmet is staying on his head. Sad!

No they are not. These colors are never cool. Ever. Under any possible circumstance do they look like anything other than shit.

I bet that, at some point in the 70's, someone complimented someone wearing bellbottoms of this color scheme.

Sky blue and orange was the color scheme for the late 60's Gulf Ford GT's. They were definitely cool. One of my favorite cars ever.

I've got no idea. Nicknames is one thing (however misguided). Completely irrelevant color schemes is a bridge too far.

Is this really what the players wanted?

Nice job by Fisher on that liner. I remember how aghast we were at Springer's defense when he first came up. I'm hopeful that the same thing is going on with Fisher and that once he settles in he'll not repeat his recent defensive lapses.
-

My theory is that it was a "concession" that the owners were willing to give to the players' union in exchange for something else. Especially since it gives them one more piece of crap to sell.

My theory is it's the other way around. The league said "you can have this, but you have to dress up like clowns one weekend in return".

Not.

Kind of like if I'd won the powerball. I'd walk around and tell people "I'll give you a thousand dollars if you'll roll around in this mud puddle".

That Springer double was good to see. Now for Bregman to do some damage...

Good job by Springer to take advantage of that passed ball. Nice to see it happen to the other team for a change.

Sweet Fucking Jesus, Gattis. Lucky Trout didn't take 3rd on that juggling act on strike 3.

Now a hit on 0-2 and have to face Trout with the bases loaded.

You were saying?
Umpire gives you a 4 inch outside pitch for strike 2 and then you got inside for strike three. WHY?!

The way Devo falls off the mound scares me every time.

Devo's 1-2 pitch was a strike last at bat.

Go fastball 3-2, please.

0-2 on Trout..1-2...2-2...full...gets him on a pop up

I think he is in dire need of a couple days off, just can't do it right now. When Corrra comes back, Marwin needs a couple days.

Needs s day off, but he has to play with Altuve out. He is chasing again.

For all the bitching we did Thursday about shitty defense, two outstanding plays saved us last night, Bregman's backhand stop and Marwin's leaping DP kept us ahead.

Fisher made a nice sliding grab to end the fourth inning too.
As a baseball fan, last night was a great game to watch. As an Astros fan I could have done without the drama of having to face Trout with the bases loaded in a one run game, but last night is why we watch.
