Well, that is the negative way to look at it.

Well, that is the negative way to look at it.

The decision not to force Bregman at 2nd was curious, and it definitely led to the 2nd run.

Rats. Reddick probably catches that ball an hour from now when the sun is down.

Altuve with a hit at the far left of the exit velocity spectrum.

2 on 2 out for Bregman.
Title: Re: Astros search for The Fountain of Youth
Post by: Astros Fan in Big D on July 27, 2019, 07:36:32 pm
Flyball to left by Bregman.

Sort of deep bet not exactly hard hit.
Title: Re: Astros search for The Fountain of Youth
Post by: Astros Fan in Big D on July 27, 2019, 07:42:29 pm
Goldschmidt deposits a fat FB into the stands.

6-1.

DeJong follows with a double.

1 out in the 4th.

I’m going to be very sad to see Cole go. Hopefully it’s on a very high note.

Jim keeps saying that he's not sure that Cole *will* go. I'm hoping his optimism stems from some inside info.

I’m just saying, Alvarez would have had that ball.

Who was it that caught the ball with his bare hand down the left field line? I remember it being somebody pretty big.

6th ends with no change in the score.

Cole worked out of a 1out 2 on jam.

The HR was a cement mixer slider. It was saying “hit me.”

I think just hope - I hope like hell he resigns too, but think they will trade for someone with club control and let him walk. He will command a ridiculous contract (and rightly so).

*There's* a sharply hit ball from Bregman.

Not Cole's best but plenty good enough. Based on nothing, I think that Cole going to go for the biggest bucks. Hope he goes to the National League.
Title: Re: Astros search for The Fountain of Youth

Cole is probably gonna get the largest contract ever for a pitcher.

George with a 2 run triple. Card CF ran a long ways but didn't play the wall well at all.

Bullshit slide from Moñoz.

Never touched the bag.

Post by: Astros Fan in Big D on July 27, 2019, 09:06:47 pm
I don't blame the umps for not reviewing it- there was no attempt for a throw to first- but Joe Fucking Torre should at least fine Muñoz.  He easily could have popped a knee ligament or torn a groin on Carlos.
Title: Re: Astros search for The Fountain of Youth
Post by: JimR on July 27, 2019, 09:07:13 pm
Yordan sure likes sliders in the dirt.

Post by: Snuffy on July 27, 2019, 09:07:31 pm
B 8th
Card announcers saw Munoz sliding into Carlos' leg rather than the bag, figuring a called DP rather than a FO.
On the DP that follows, they describe Carlo's laser throw as an "angry" throw!

The 4-6-3 was nice poetic justice.

Correa's canon arm is fun to watch.
Title: Re: Astros search for The Fountain of Youth
Post by: astrojo on July 27, 2019, 09:13:40 pm
What I find most interesting about that slide into Correa (and not the base) is that on Yadier Molina’s now deleted Instagram post regarding Marisnick/Lucroy play that all the Astros players commented defending their teammate, Yadi told Correa they might just dirty slide into him or other Astro and see how they like it.  With the way they got tangled he could have fallen right on top of Correa’s rib cage! BS non call by the umps when he was clearly not sliding to the bag.
Title: Re: Astros search for The Fountain of Youth
Post by: Astros Fan in Big D on July 27, 2019, 09:21:34 pm
I saw Molina's first comment, but not any of that other stuff.

If he did say that,  then fuck Muñoz and Molina.

And suspend Muñoz.
