I'm MRaup, and I approve of this message.

Astros did not have their home uniforms or their regular road uniforms with them. They are wearing their blue warmups, and presumably will the entire series.

Choo strikes out looking
Andrus grounds out 5-3

Those aren't the same as their sunday home jerseys?
-
First two Astros single...two on, nobody out...
-
The only way I've been able to see the Astros on TV this year is on national broadcasts or on the goddamn fucking Rangers broadcasts. I'm glad to get to see this game, but holy shit I hate the cocksucking shitlord Rangers. Fuck 'em right in the ear.

Ummm...maybe the are. But I think they are also the warm up jerseys. Kalas implied that it was all the had other than the nickname ones.
-
Single, walk...Rangers have two on, nobody out in the second...
-
Not a bad crowd, all things considered.
-
2B and 3B...one out...Fiers pounding the strikezone, but can't put anyone away...

I think he's been up 0-2 to each hitter.

Yep. And got StinK to end it.
Lot of pitches thru 2.

Astros have their lawyer in the booth. That's interesting.

Can't imagine the Astros will the energy to plate five runs tonight.

Did fiers miss the memo about kicking ass?
-
Gallo is the bum wine of baseball players.
.205 average
.329 OBP
The one thing he can do at the plate is club meat fastballs.
Nice of Fiers to oblige.

Why in the FUCK am I hearing the Gorman Ranger announcer brag about fucking Gallo and Perez on the Astros broadcast...?!?! Who's great idea was this?

Bregman with an RBI single...attaboy Alex
Astros on the corners...one out...4-1
-
Please, Altuve.
Please.

I was listening to the radio broadcast while I was cooking dinner, and I had absolutely no idea about what was going on in the game and barely received a hint that a baseball game was actually in progress.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but I'll take it.
-
Gurriel with a base knock...bases loaded, one out...
-
Pettis was waving Bregman initially. Did he change his mind? I think that cost us a run.

-
Dammit, Pettis
-
Difference in this game so far is the two double plays they got and the two double plays we didn't
-
Fiers with another lead off walk...
-
Remove Fiers, please.
Pettit too. Game should be 4-3.
-

Only needed one.
Now another perfect double play that didn't get made because of the shift.
-

Fiers letting the air out of the tires every inning.
Pick the team up, dude.
-
The early season Fiers is back. I don't like that one.
-
Two more shiftfucks this inning
-
Another shift hit. Altuve catches it in his normal position.
-
Bloop, bloop
-
Get Fiers out of there while we can still win this.

5-2 Rangers...two on, one out...inning should have been over.

Fuck this. We score so Fiers gives em back.

6-2...runners at the corner, one out...Fiers throwing puss

The hook is already too late.

Shitty effort. Hangdog defeated look and body language.
-
Without the shift, the Astros are winning this game 2-0 and Fiers has thrown about 40 pitches
-
You know Fiers had the chance to be a hero and he shits the bed. It seems like this is the Fiers that doesn't care.
-
Fiers was the worst possible starter for this game.
Incapable of pitching thru any adversity or prosperity with 2 strike counts.
As four the missed DP this inning, the lead runner was the leadoff hitter whom he FUCKING WALKED after the offense cut the lead in half.
What a shitty performance.
-

He can step it up too. Can't blame home runs on the shift.
-
Lots of bloop hits
-
8-2 Rangers
-
I can't watch this. Maybe AJ can go out there and tell him he is being cut. And mean it.
-
Springer had almost nothing to lose by diving there since the runners were going with two outs. I have no idea why he pulled up in that situation to make the safe play.

T4:
Napoli...3-2...walks
Odor grounds to 1B...Gurriel had to hold the ball to let Bregman get to the bag, so it's another perfect double play ball that didn't get made because of the shift...Napoli out 3-6 at 2B
Chirinos soft liner to where the second baseman should be, but there's the shiftfuck again...single to RF. Odor to 2B
Choo singles to LF, Odor scores, Chirinos to 2B
Andrus double off the RF wall...Chirinos scores, Choo to 3B
Mazara...infield in,..3-0...pops out F6
Beltre bloops a single in front of Springer...Choo scores, Mazara scores
Gallo scores lines out to 2B
8-2 Rangers
-
Well, the shift gets an out. AJ is happy.

In my book, he's a leading candidate for jettison from the rotation when LMJ comes back.

Go get Verlander. We cannot count on McCullers.
Sickening performance.

Agreed.

At least they didn't get no hit the last time this type of game happened.

At least McCullers hates the Rangers.

Was hoping these guys would have a little fire in the belly. Sad.

Davis' range is roughly the size of a postage stamp.

Well, they still have the next 14 on the road...

Put Martes in Fiers' spot in September.

Which apparently makes it about 2x the size of Fiers's nutsack.

Gomez grounds out 6-3 on a really nice play by Bregman
Napoli strikes out swinging
Odor strikes out swinging...ball bounces, Gattis blocks it, fields it, takes his time because apparently he's bored shitless, throws to 1B and Gurriel drops it....scored a strikeout and a wild pitch
Odor steals 2B
Chirinos...0-2.,..1-2...2-2...full count...hit by pitch
Someone else will have to pick up PBP from here...

Choo homers on the first pitch...11-2 Rangers.
I'm fucking done.

I don't get how that was a wild pitch.
-
Also, that was not a simple drop by Gurriel. Gattis threw the ball into the runner.
Fuck this game. Win the next two.
-
Well, this is fucked up.
-

Pitch hit the dirt.
-
Should have been E-2.
-
Pitch hit the dirt.
Not every pitch on the dirt is ruled a wild pitch. I figured it was not wild enough for stinky to swing at our Gattis throw to first. Just didn't seem like a WP to me
-

Should have been an out, but that's not how that's scored. The batter can advance to 1B either on a wild pitch or a passed ball. Had he advanced beyond 1B, it would be an error on someone.
-

If a runner advances, it's either a wild pitch or a passed ball. If you Gattis should have caught the pitch on the fly, it's a passed ball. If not, it's a wild pitch. Only two options there.
-
Shitty effort. Hangdog defeated look and body language.
yes. If he is on this team I will shit little green apples.
-
Dammit, Pettis
Do the Astros keep stats on base coaching decisions.? I can't believe he is still in the box.
-
If this is the level of effort the Astros are gonna give the next few weeks, they'll be in fourth place before they return home.
-
Davis' range is roughly the size of a postage stamp.
AS a fielder he could make a great DH.
-

Yep, I thought about this after I posted, and you're right.

This is kind of scary.
The 2008 team was not as talented as this one, but it had a bunch of postseason-tested veterans. Ike still broke them.
This team is flighty as fuck on a good day, and they're dealing with something even worse. The sheer scope of Harvey and simple probability dictate that the impact on their families, friends and homes is worse than what the 2008 team faced. And this is after being exhausted and worn down by the siege of injuries...
The one blessing is the big lead. They may need all of it.

This team is just completely dead right now. There is no energy, no sense of purpose, no desire. It's only going to get more frustrating as this crisscrossing the country and 4-week road trip continues. I know it's hard, but they'd best unfuck themselves or they will be one sad footnote.
-
I would rather lose like this than the way we lost the middle game to LAA.
No more gloom and doom. Get 'em tomorrow.
-
Fuck. 12-2 now
-
Rolling over like this hurts. Rolling over for the team that has constantly made you their bitch, and just told you to shove your natural disaster up your ass, is even more disheartening.

Do not forget it IS a disaster, and these guys' families are dealing with it while they play a game. Hang in there as fans the way we want them to as a team.

Agree. This game sucks but tmws game will start 0-0.
And there be a decidedly better starter on the mound for the Astros.

Very true. Perspective, right. I really want them to go out and kick some ass for them, especially against these assholes.

Okay that last little breaking ball from JD was pretty nasty.

12-2 is your final. Astros never really in this one.

But remember the 1992 team that had the long road trip due to the GOP convention. That was a young team and they exceeded expectations on that trip and it made them into a pretty good team. Like they grew up on that trip.

The real moral of the story tonight is Mike Fiers is hot. fucking. garbage. Way to take those emotions on everyone's mind and gag on it until you're done for the evening. Fucking scrub.

They're just giving the Rangers life so that they end it for good in that September series.
