I'm watching the Yankees and Sea Hags right now, and the Sea Hags' defense isn't even at a junior high level. Balls between legs, pop ups falling in between people, bobbled ground balls, they've done just about everything. I almost feel sorry for the pitcher, but then I remember that he's pitching for Seattle, so too bad.
ETA: Four errors all told, plus a couple of plays that were errors in all but name.

That looked like a therapeutic swing there. Angry home run.

More shit baserunning....Reddick forgets how many outs there are and gets doubled off of 2B on a fly ball, killing the rally.
-
FUCKING SERIOUSLY?!
God this team pisses me off on the bases SO often.
-
Nice baserunning there. Another of our strengths.
-
Reddick runs them right out of the fucking inning by forgetting how many fucking outs there are.

Make no mistake, not a deep fly his misread or a good play. It was a fucking outfield popup. McCann dropped his head the second he hit it. Obvious out. Fuck.

Funda-Damn-mentals!!!!!

And it's the first fucking inning. It's not like he got confused. Reddick just wasn't fucking paying attention.

Albert Pujols would lose in a race to Yadier Molina. Good lord.

League leaders in TOOBALAN.

You guys should lay off Josh. Any of you know how difficult it is to play baseball with your head up your ass? You can't even see the scoreboard.
Plus the smell.
-
Now Nelasco will settle down and we'll all be lamenting the blown opportunity in the first. And I'm still pissed about last nights game.

Reddick's glove should play hockey. He'd score a ton on deflections.

Is it really that hard to count to three?
-
Damn do they need someone on the top dugout step to signal how many outs there are? Yuli almost left the field after out # 2
-
How was the bunt attempt not a strikeout if he squared around and never pulled back at the delivery to the catcher?

When I was on the swim team in school, they had numbered cards for the long races. Someone would lower them into the water as you approached for the turn so you'd know how many laps it was. They need something like that, apparently.

Sounds right given that all of Houston is swimming.

Marwin joins the hit party with an RBI single...4-0...still two on nobody out.

Well fuck, that was some serious bad luck.

Gattis lines into double play. Can't hit it much harder
-
McCann doubled off

Nice ABs there by McCann and Marwin. Waiting on the fastballs and clubbing em.

I caught Blum on the radio yesterday when I was driving home, and he was GREAT. check him out if you get a chance.
-
And a punchout lets Nelasco off the hook. But the Astros hit the pay station two more times...4-0

During a power outage last night, I got to listen to Sparks and Blum. Nice combo of knowledge.

I liked it better when we kept hitting run scoring singles.

Maybe put some coaches just off of the baselines at first and third.

Pujols hits one over the centerfielder's head, bounces to the wall...for a single.

If he doesn't hit it out of the park, he's a genuine liability.

Japan is putting it away. They lead 7-2 in the bottom of the 5th, and they have two runners on with no outs.

And Trout punches out looking to end it.
But the Angels plate three runs...all with two outs...again.

I am amazed that Morton got that call against Trout.

These guys just cannot stand to pitch with a lead.

Every Angels run this series has come with two out in the inning.

Holy crap!

Did valbuena always take that long to round the bases? I'm well acquainted with this bat-flipping braggadocio.

Yes. There's not enough mustard in the world to cover him.

Astros blew a 5-run lead yesterday, and a 4-run lead today. If they lose this game, that's a four game swing in the standings.

Pretty sure 2 strike counts also

And he'll get the win unless the Astros offense gets something going

Wow. What a shit strikezone again today.

Astros had better swing the fucking bats, because if the catcher gets a glove on it, it's gonna be called a strike

This is just straight up embarrassing. How can baseball condone bullshit like that? Those aren't even close.

Just what Musgrove needed, another base runner. That's our 3rd hit batter today. And Maldonado's 2nd

WHAT THE FUCK?
This is just straight up shit baseball.

In other words, McCann is more than twice as likely to hit a grand slam as he is to hit a triple

In the immortal words of Brad Lidge...that was fuckin' huge!
2-out rally started by Altuve sprinting out a routine, inning-ending ground ball to SS.

I think that Pujols was literally the last person I wanted to see at bat there. And then when that ball kept carrying, I was bracing for the worst.

It was a great comeback win that showed a lot of heart. Just missed a sweep. But a great series win.

It was. And when you consider the possible distractions, even more so.
