He could just kick the ball to the strike zone and do better than the last few nights.

I like the strike box.

And the ATT sportsnet one is unobtrusive.



Also Angel has used up at least half his quota of missed pitches.

Fuck Dallas Keuchel
This^^^

Even at the pro-rated amount he is supposed to be seeking for a one year deal, it is still too much dough to pay, not to mention the fact that if you signed him now he wouldn’t pitch in majors until close to end of May.

I’d rather trade for Bumgarner or Stroman.

Prior to the late innings they have been. I'd rather the late inning runs be putting them over the top than filling in the early-inning hole.

But, really, I'd just like them to start playing like a good team again.

Doesn't matter in what inning they score them, they all count the same.  Of course I'd prefer the 10th run of the game to put them over the top rather than getting them to within a run, but the fact remains, the Astros are scoring runs.  Lots of them.  The problem the last few games has been pitching, not lack of scoring runs.

Carlos batting,  runners on.

Pitched ball bounces off catcher,  Carlos reached up and touched it as the runners were advancing.

They ruled him out.

The rule Kalas found indicated the lead runner should be out but they ruled Correa out.  But he wasn't sure that was the relevant rule.

Love the pitcher's 2 footed stomp after the swing.

Didn't even bother to watch the ball.

It’s Angel.  Everyone sees him like that.

You are correct.

I do think the Astros were all on the same page as far as Angel goes given the spring training blowup.

George saw some tough pitches all night.

And still came through on most occasions.

So just saw the video of the Correa play.  What the literal fuck, Carlos? 

Correa is out for batter interference, and it's scored 2U.

Normally, I'd say he would say it was a cocksucking call, but with Angel, you're almost certainly correct.

You think they would know about this thing called video evidence that would end that real quick.

Nice W.

Could do without the first inning deficits, but this offense is producing.

Great win. Miley pulling it together and the relentless offense.

Carlos batting,  runners on.

Pitched ball bounces off catcher,  Carlos reached up and touched it as the runners were advancing.

They ruled him out.

The rule Kalas found indicated the lead runner should be out but they ruled Correa out.  But he wasn't sure that was the relevant rule.

A batter or runner who intentionally interferes with a thrown ball is out.  The closest fielder is awarded an unassisted putout. Runners return to the base they most recently legally occupied.

That's always something I've heard said about baseball.  On any given night, you might see something you've never seen before and might not ever see again.  That's a first for me.  A batter just grabbing a ball in play.

Yeah, I'd have to listen to Kalas's explanation of whatever rule that was again.  I thought it was simple interference and then he confused the hell out of me.  It was simple interference.

Twitter is great.

He said Fucking Horseshit as he was getting back into the dugout with AJ.

For the most part throughout the whole game, hitters from both teams seemed to respond to the Angel of Death with bemused resignation - there was simply going to be no shortage of outrageous calls.  The called third strike to Springer was so bad, I don't blame George for melting down.

Fucking Cocksucker is in no way an anti-anything slur.  Other than anti-shitty-umpire.
