Verlander sharp thru first 2 innings (5 Ks)
Springer infield single, Altuve single thru the right side moved him over, Bregman gidp brought him in.
Bottom 2 coming up.
-
Correa singles to CF.
Josh promptly singles to right and deftly eliminates the gidp possibility by running into an out at 2nd.
-
I got excited when I saw the listing for the game on TBS. So I changed the channel to TBS.
But I can't see the game on TBS. "This game is not currently being broadcast due to league requirements blah blah blah blah."
Argh.
-
Fucking Reddick.
-
I don’t know what Reddick was thinking.
Also I don’t understand why they didn’t challenge the out call at first on Bregman ‘s GIDP.
Also that turn by the AZ middle infield was amazing.

Flipping back and forth with one of the football games?

For those that missed it, The throw was cut off at short and redirected to the bag at second.
Josh wasn't even in the TV frame.

Dammit.
Kemp. Kemp. Kemp.
The only reason I keep doing that is that they're banned Tony.
The only reason. Certainly no other similarities.

TB up 3-0 in the 7th.

I don't know if this was mentioned on the game (didn't hear it), but this tweet came from the Fresno Grizzlies several hours ago:
Breaking news this morning: The Grizzlies and @astros have informed their league offices they will seek a new affiliation for 2019. Our four consecutive winning seasons is a franchise record...thank you Houston! #NeverSettle
Our next MLB affiliate will be announced soon.

I love that he’s pictured as an Astro there—as if everyone forgot to mention the trade to Baseball Reference.

2 out triple makes it 5-0 TB in the 7th.

Meanwhile 1 measly run for the good guys so far.
Leadoff walk bunted to second for Arizona in the 5th.
-
Damn, we need some runs.
Yes, we do.
Good job by Verlander to cover 1st on that ball.
-
Tough 4-1 grounder moves runner to 3rd, 2 outs.
-
Nice pitching by JV there.
-
Verlander!
-
Ugh.
If ugh means good, then yes "ugh".
-
The group consensus seems to be more run for the Astros.
Let's make that happen.
-

Nails.
-
Lefties seem to get more outside pitches called strikes on them than do righties. I wonder, if true, why.

He was out. Half step.
-
And, that's why we needed some runs. Fuck.
-
Perralta ties it on a 1-2 pitch with 2 outs in the 6th.
Ball was an inch off the inside of the plate.
-
Top of the order.
Let's go.

Tampa trying to fuck things up.

Bases now unloaded.

Great White!

Khris Davis of course.

Tampa trying to out-bed shit the Texans.
Which is theoretically impossible.

I love your news reports better than what I was getting on the interwebs.
Whew.

Rays tried to lose it in the 9th but did not succeed. As lose 5-4.
-
Bad luck on that double, but at least we got one.

At least I can do SOMETHING right today. Ha.

Correa slump still going strong.

Verlander still pitching in the 7th.

Yeah, he just can't seem to hit a ball hard right now. I think the hardest one he's hit lately was a double play ball.
-

I think he's battling thru pain/dysfunction and I appreciate that toughness.
But it's unbelievable how many rbi opportunities keep coming his way .

Strike 5 gets Descalso, thanks to the 3rd base ump.
Outstanding work by JV today.
-
Verlander 1-2-3 in the 7th, notches his 11th K matching his career high with 269 on the season.
Previous 269 K year was 2009.

He should have sat down twice; once for the blown strike call and again for the failed check swing.

Whoo! Baserunning gaffe.. made up for.

Not so fucking Reddick.

Arizona apparently feeling bad about our double play totals.

Diamondbacks not exactly sharp defensively this weekend.

Kemp wondering what he has to do to get a hit.

Not all 0-fers are the same.

Altuve!!

Nicely done, Jose!
-
I'm encouraged by what Altuve has done this series.
He's turned on some and he's got some to right.

Knee must be better. He can stay back.

I don't remember ever seeing so many defensive miscues from one team in a single series.
-
White is a fucking black hole in this offense.

Bases loaded, two out, 3-2 count, and White steps out & blows a bubble with his gum.
Didn't get a hit this time, but got the 2nd run in w/ a 2B earlier.
Gotta do something to let off steam.

I love no-drama relief pitching. Pressley: TCB

Um... yes. Go Carlos!

Perfect!

Yes he did.
-
Why was Marisnick hitting for Kemp? Just to get an AB to keep the rust off?
-

Good one!
Been mixing it up today, missed their description.
As opposing announcers introduce the Astros and how they play , I often learn something.
It is a "scouting" report.
-

A double, I think.
-
A double, I think.
Should be a double and an error. I'll check.
-
Yep. Double/error.

I have a higher standard for major league baseball players. I would have scored that as two errors.

Came in as a defensive replacement in the top of the inning.

That Tampa series must have been the first series loss for the A's in a long time.

Well, that's lovely.

Seriously?

Uhhh...

Both of these games are giving us heart attacks in the 9th.
-
Oh FFS!
-
WHEW! Astros win!
4.5 games!
-
5 games up in loss column.
-
That Tampa series must have been the first series loss for the A's in a long time.
And yet since August 17 the Astros have gone from 1 up to 4.5 up.
-
Whew!
-
Big, big weekend.
Best thing besides the wins/A's losses was seeing Altuve, Springer, and Yuli make some solid contact.
This offensive engine doesn't need all 9 cylinders firing. If 3-4 can get going on a reasonably consistent basis runs will follow.
-

Astros series loss was their first since late June I think.

This one also hurt!
I believe they were thinking they had to win every series to catch the Astros.
