Astros with runners on the corner...two out...
-
T1:
Springer hits one 687 feet high, but only 378 feet deep, so Upton catches it at the wall, then says "Wow"
Bregman grounds out 6-3 on the first pitch
Altuve bunt single on the first pitch
Correa singles to CF on the first pitch, Altuve to 3B
Gattis flies out F9
Two hits, but the Astros strand a pair in a quick 9-pitch inning
0-0
-
Well that didn't take long for Fiers...a pair of leadoff doubles...1-0 Angels

Both fat pitches too.

Thought we had seen the last of Fiers as a starter. Hope for good news on McCullers.

Fiers hot garbage early

Instead of starting Fiers, a forfeit would have at least let the guys rest.

He's been terrible for more than a month. Huge in the summer but lousy lately.

I wonder if Hinch is wishing he'd have gone with Musgrove.
-
Four doubles so far...3-0, and Fiers getting his tits ripped off.
I'm starting to think a forfeit would not only give the guys a rest, but would keep the score respectable.
-
BTW Mike Fiers still sucks.
-
5-0 Angels. Still batting in the 1st.
-
Valbuena bat flipped the hell out of that one.

God, get Fiers out there for the rest of 2017.

Is there any reason to ever see Fiers pitch again this year?
-
Hinch treated this like a throwaway game, now Fiers has to suck it up and throw 200 pitches if he has to.
-
¡Ay, caramba!
-
B1:
Phillips doubles to LF on a 1-2 pitch
Trout doubles to LF, Philips scores
Upton grounds out 5-3 on a nice play by Bregman
Pujols strikes out looking...bitches about it
Calhouns doubles to RCF, Trout scores
Simmons doubles to LF, Calhoun scores
Valbuena homers to RF, Simmons scores
Cron grounds out 6-3
But Fiers does his thing...5-0 Angels
-
Verlander is probably wondering what he got himself into with this shitty pitcher.

So, 50 or so runs

My silver lining as well.

Upton, Pujols, and Cron must feel like complete failures.

Hell, Beltran might not stay up for this.

Whatever it takes. He fucking going six innings.
-
T2:
Gurriel lines out to 1B...smoked, but right at Cron
Maybin flies out F9
Stassi...full count...strikes out swinging
5-0 Angels
-
So, what have I missed?
-
Fiers should not pitch for the Astros again this season, unless some other pitcher blows the game by giving up 5 runs in the first and Fiers has to eat innings during a lost cause of a game.

ERA of 9.23 since August.

B2:
Maldonado flies out F9 on the first pitch
Philips strikes out swinging
Trout...0-2...1-2...2-2...strikes out swinging
5-0

And Fiers strikes out the best player in baseball.
Baseball is fucking weird.

T3:
Marisnick...0-2...1-2...with a flair single to RF...stops at 1B as the ball is bobbled, re-starts trying for 2B and is thrown out 3-6...replay shows he was safe, but no challenge
Springer grounds out 5-3
Bregman...3-0...3-1...flies out F8
5-0 Angels
-
OK...gotta get on a conference call. Someone else do some PBP is you want it.
-
Give me a fucking break, Fiers.

That feels like some weak shit coming from Fiers. Pitch better.

Valbuena handled that exactly right.

Fiers tried to make amends by throwing the next pitch right down the middle.

Seriously. There is no fucking way Fiers comes out of this game if I'm managing. He goes six. Period.

By flipping the bat a second time?

Managing malpractice.

Hinch threw this game.
-
Have they said anything about Marisnick? It looked to me like he was favoring his right wrist after that stupid attempt for the extra base.

that is all they've said. Jake having a hard time staying in games recently.

He threw in the towel when he ran Fiers out there. Not sure why.
-
In case anyone was wondering...Clippard in and throwing puss. It's 9-0 Angels

the only value he has brought is eating innings in blowouts.
-
As sorry as the pitching has been lately I think I'm morre concerned with the offense.

Hey, they scored a run this week, how much do you want?
-
A RUN!!!!!
Woo Fuckin' Hoo!
9-1

Popping in late to say DFA Fiers yesterday.
I checked my phone between games umpiring tonight (I'm umping softball on Wednesdays) and apparently instead of thinking it, I said "oh for fuck's sake." and one of the players from the game before said "Just saw the Astros score?"
Ugh.

"traveling horseshit show"

Exactly. And we could all have gotten a good night's sleep before catching the 9th inning.

Been sent back to Houston to get thumb looked at. Hinch saying it "didn't look good".
Maybin pickup looking good.

Did Fiers seriously throw behind Valbuena last night?
What a waste of skin and tattoo ink that fucking guy is.

Yes, and then Valbuena hit the next pitch for a single and flipped the bat, of course.

Threw over his head. Like a 70 mph fastball 30 feet over his head. Think Randy Johnson and John Kruk in the ASG. He wasn't going to hit Valbuena, so I'm not say he "seriously" did it, but he definitely wanted to make a point.

I should have known better, Fiers gave up doubles like Harvey gave up rain. I wasn't really watching at that point, but heard Blum on the broadcast.

That he could throw a pitch that couldn't be hit?

That might have been the only one. Though Jose Altuve and Evan Gattis may have taken a whack at it.

So this on DFA. It is infuriating to follow Verlander's heroic stat with "my arm is tired" from McCullers and "I give up" from Fiers.
ETA: Fiers said "I think I threw the ball exceptionally well."

When I saw that quote I thought "Okay, the worthless tit is just trolling us now".

I think that was misreported. They left off "...for them to hit." from the quote.
