Cole and Bauer take the mound.

For a moment, I thought Bregman hit a delicious oppo taco off Bauer, but it ended up as only a loud out to right, caught on the warning track.

Well that sucked
-
Ramirez hit the ever loving shit out of that hanging fastball.
-
Wasn't my fault. I turned it on only to see that we're already behind 2-0.
-
Crap, I turn on the TV just in time to see Ramirez cross the plate.
-
Cole not sharp. Looks like he doesn’t want to be there.
-
Bottom 1
Cole walks the lead off hitter Lindor
Brantley Ks looking on a questionable 3-2 called strike
Jose Ramirez homers to center on a meatball, driving in Lindor.
Encarnacion rolls over on an outside breaking pitch and grounds out 6-3.
Cole strikes out Alonso on a nasty breaking ball down and in under his hands.
Indians lead 2-0.
I’m switching over to the radio broadcast for a few innings, so, if anyone is out there, feel free to type PBP.

You can pretty much groove a first pitch fastball to every Astro hitter. They are simply not going to swing at the first pitch fastball. Ever.

Max blast.

That ball may still be going.

Where's the urgency? How the fuck does Kipnis score from first on that?
-
Fuck. Springer lollygagged that routine single, then missed the cutoff man and Jason fucking Kipnis scores from 1B on routine seeing eye single. Pathetic effort.
-
Springer better be fucking embarrassed by that effort.

I’d send Springer a message. After his little stunt on the caught stealing the other night, and twice here today, he needs a serious attitude adjustment.

Springer didn’t even try in that at bat. Simply embarassing. He either needs to be benched or get his ass chewed out in the dugout.

Altuve with his 8th straight base hit.

Come on, Carlos! Swing your damn bat!!

Fuck Correa...do you need a fucking formal invitation to swing the fucking bat?
-
Correa’s AB. Awful. Fucking awful.

I don't know what Correa's problem is, but he'd better pull his head out of his ass soon.

Just me, or was that a pretty meaty hanging curve Gattis watched on 0-1?
-

Like they said last night, Hinch was concerned about him being a guess hitter. He’s looked like that for a while now. I start to wonder if his ceiling really is superstar.

Fuck. Correa has been garbage in clutch situations this year.

Guys, you might want to sit curveball. And not swing at garbage out of the zone.

He didn’t even need to be clutch. He only needed not to suck with a runner on 3rd and 1 out.

Bauer throws 8 pitches, none of them even reached the plate and gets two punch outs. Awesome.
-
Really, Yuli? He threw you only curveballs the entire at bat.
-
If Bauer threw nothing but 58-ft curveballs today, he’d be throwing a perfect game.
-
How have the Astros not made an adjustment? They should be sitting on his curveball.

They should be laying off the curveball and swing at hittable fastballs. They’re working exactly backwards.

Makes sense. There’s no excuse for Jake, Yuli and Correa to swing at the curves they did the last two innings. It’s clear he’s pitching backwards.

Bauer hasn’t thrown a curveball over the plate in four innings. Yet he’s got 13 punchouts.

Please make them regret the decision to leave Bauer in to pitch the 8th.

Nice play by their CFer but I think he forgot how many outs there were.

Come on, Altuve. How could you not get a basse hit for the 11th straight time?

Altuve smoked that pitch, but a nice play robbed him of his 11th consecutive hit.

Ok, get him out of there.

That’s it for Giles. Now a save situation for Harris.

Winning run at the plate, still one out

Harris out..Rondon in...gotta get through the top of the order now.

Okay, now that Harris has allowed the inherited runners to score, Rondon is in to try close out.
-
This is a fucking nightmare.
Yep.

Well, Kalas DID say the post game comments would be interesting after they took the 8-3 lead...

The Bench Coach should know that Giles sucks in non-save situations and Harris almost always allows inherited runners to score.

Tying run in scoring position, winning run on base...two out

This is great

And the meltdown is complete.
Wow.

Yuli saves the game for now.

This is why you don't fuck around and get cute with your pen. Getting Giles some work with a 5 run lead is idiotic.

Should have started the inning with Harris.

One summer in high school I worked for a guy that did hot tar roof patching. It was so fucked. I couldn't last a month. Whenever I think about the tough life of a baseball player, I think of those guys that did roof work for a living, day in and day out.

I'm just gobsmacked by how much this team has regressed mentally. It's 2016 again.
Expecting another title is silly. It's hard every year, but especially tough this year with a league this top heavy. There are so many things that can go wrong:
1. Injuries.
2. A few bad breaks in a short postseason series.
3. A better team showing up and beating you.
But there was one thing, after what they did last year, I thought was absolutely, positively off the table:
4. Failing because the stage is too big for you.
And suddenly we're seeing signs of that, and it's still the regular season. Close games, and clutch situations late in those games, are a total mystery to these guys. Yeah, they won some that are technically, mathematically close, but that's mostly games when Verlander or Cole or whoever goes nuclear and they blow out the other team 2 - 0.
-

They had maps, charts, and a compass, and still sailed right into that shit-typhoon.

Worst loss of the year?? Probably so, but I don’t think this carries over to tomorrow. I know it is an early start but the plane ride from Cleveland to NY is what, 45 minutes to an hour? They will be fine as long as they don’t have to dip in the bullpen too much tomorrow. Hopefully JV will be his normal self.
The offense is coming around but this team is still taking way to many fastballs, especially Bregman and Marwin.
Oh, and whenever Fisher or Reddick are ready to come off the DL, Marisnick should be the one to go back to AAA. His shortcomings at the plate far outweigh whatever he does in the field.

It’s just a loss. All decision-makers in the bottom of the 9th need to take stock. And the Indians need credit for some high-quality vaunting.

So I guess we just shouldn't even play the rest of the season? Give me a break. There have been some struggles and some guys need to get their shit together, but regressed mentally? The stage being too big? It's the end of fucking may... may! Being concerned about things is one thing but giving up on the defending champs who are 14 games over .500 at the end of may, to me, is just plain stupid.

This is a good point. A couple of those hits came on pitches that I’m sure if you gave them a second chance, our pitchers would take their chances again with the same pitch in the same location. The ball Kipnis hit to right off Harris was about 4 inches off the dirt and he golfed it out there. Two of the hits off Rondon were bottom of the knee cap on the outside corner. Tough pitches that just got hit.
Sometimes shit happens.

I agree with this. Send Jake down and give JD some serious at bats just like you have given Kemp. If he can’t hit, it’ll show and you call Fish or Jake back up.

That is actually my point. He should. Sitting on bench in Houston does not show anyone anything and hitting 400+ at Fresno is equally a non-event. Give him regular PT in Houston and see what happens.
