That's not very fair. He froze on what looked to him like a possible line drive caught by the diving first baseman. He shouldn't have broken back to 2, but he was out either way. The play at first was going to be close since the 1b was recovering from his dive.

With as many dp’s as they hit in to I don’t blame Gattis for assuming that was just going to be another one.

I don't know if they wanted to throw ball four, but you definitely feel like "we can get this guy on a …"  That pitch was probably farther out than McCann wanted, but he knew Orlando would be aggressive and likely chase.  Definitely.

This game approximates the sensation of having a cigarette put out on one’s self, or so I would imagine.

I think it’s more like waking up the next day after thinking smoking that cigarette might get you somewhere with that chick. It didn’t work and now you’re hung over and all you can taste is an ashtray.

...or so I’d imagine...?

Another night of 7 walks and a hit batter...that's an average of one free pass per inning...0 runs.

When you add all the Astro hits, that's just over one per inning!

Shit on Giles all you want, but he's proven time and again he's not the same pitcher without a lead to protect.

They've shifted the roster for one more bench player and one less reliever. That's what we wanted them to do. The downside of that is that they have to depend on Giles.

B9:

Hill in for the Royals

Marwin grounds out 3-1...Dozier bobbled the ball, but recovers
Kemp grounds out 4-3
McCann flies out F8

And the Astros put an end to a pathetic night at the plate

1-0 Royals is the final

How about not stomping your dicks with the bases loaded?  How about not going 0 for fucking 9 with RISP,?  How about not leaving fucking 22 guys on base?  I guess none of that matters when you have a designated whipping boy.

I hate to say it, but I think Gattis is gunna be dormant for awhile. I hope I’m wrong. His swing looks funky again.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Exactly. Giles hit into all those DPs.

I hope this helps people swallow the shit pill from tonight.

The Seahags blew a 4-0 lead in the first inning and were down 4-5 going into the second. They then blew a 10-5 lead over the course of several innings and lost 10-14. Bummer for them.

In the last four days the Astros have played their worst two games of the season.
We may be in for a rough week or two.

Gattis fucked that up completely.

That play was sums up this game for me.

Bob Gibson to Bagwell at the HoF, "I'd get you out of that crouch,"

I believe him.
