Cole with a strong start back...a couple of punchouts and a comebacker.

I thought JV would pitch a no hitter and maybe a perfect game last night. What the team did to him was criminal. He blamed himself for the homers.

His punishment for the home runs should have been "you don't get the no hitter", not a loss.

Springer leads off the Astros' half with a double,

Yes. I cannot believe how this offense switches off, but Hinch did not help with the lineup.
-
Here we go again.
-
Brantley with a groundout and Bregman a tapper back to the mound...Astros squander the leadoff double...No score
-
And Altuve punches out on a slider in the home dugout...
I get so tired of seeing him standing 4' off the plate and swinging at shit a foot outside.
-

He looked pull happy. There was one drivable pitch on the outer half/third he fouled off looking to yank. Maybe another.
The wipeout slider was a good pitch but good lord it ended way out of the zone. Failure to recognize?
Frustrating.
-
Cole getting the shit squeezed out of him.
-
2-out walk, single...two Tiggers on base...
-
Lugo takes a fastball right down the center square for strike three, then bitches about it.
No score.
-

No score.
He may have been bitching about strike 1.
Either way he can suck it.
-

He must have been complaining about something from earlier in the AB, because that pitch couldn't have been more of a strike.
-
Yuli swung at ball 4 twice.
Both pitches about ankle high.
-
Yuli swung at balls, 4, 5, and 6 there.
-
Toro, in his first big league at bat...grounds out 3-1
No score still
-
Toro put that foul ball so far in the upper tank I didn't see where it landed.
-
Reddick snakebit
-
I like Josh going the other way.

Reddick snakebit
Best ball he's hit in 2 weeks.
-
Tigers clearly told this guy "just throw that 91 mph thing you call a fastball on the outer half. They'll all try to pull it and ground out."

Altuve hit the ball really hard, just right at SS.

Shit.
Thought Yordan was going to reach the wall.

Shit.

That ball was well struck too..
-
Toro almost beat the wrap.
Still looking for his first hit.
-
Purple lipstick is a great choice.
-
Cole talking to himself about something on his way back to the dugout.
-
Shit.

Yordan is coming back to earth like he did in RR.
-
Another hard hit ball from Josh.
-
Zimmerman dusted off the slider on Machete and Springer.
-
Shift fuck single.
1 on 1 out for Detroit in the 6th.

Strikeout and a groundout end the inning.
Mid 6
Astros 2-0

I hope no one gets over-served at the ballpark tonight.

Kalas become annoying bad at crying yard.

Yordan hit it too hard for Bregman to get to third. Not bad for a rookie.
-
That call at home plate could have gone either way.

Rogers caught it. Barely, but it was a good call.

Agreed, also his foot was coming off the plate too. I think it was too close to overturn if he had called Bregman safe.
-
Cole thru 7.
3-0 Astros.
More runs por favor.

Apparently, the league agrees...
How often do you hear that said about a rookie!
-
Reward for Josh: single to the left of short.
-
George takes a 3-0 meatball down the middle, then fouls off ball four.
-
Altuve put a charge in one for a long out his last AB.
Let's see if he can get one to land in the OF grass.
-
Springer walks, Jose with no outs men on 1st and 2nd.
-
Astros with the bases drunk...nobody out...
-
Patient AB from Altuve.
-
Uncle Mike with a 2-run knock!

Michael Brantley, professional hitter.

Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike! MIIIIKE!

I wonder if he has business cards that read:

Mo'Town, you have a problem, Hitsville USA has moved to Houston and taken the form of Michael Brantley,

Sometimes I dream
That he is me
You've got to see that's how I dream to be
I dream I move, I dream I groove
Like Mike
If I could Be Like Mike

Bases loaded again, one out for Yuli...

Yuli takes strike one at the ankles.

Pulling for Toro to get one more AB...

Yuli takes strike one at the ankles.
Terrible call.

Yuli with a single...6-0...bases still loaded...

Almost a grand Machete.

Smith in to relieve Cole, who was spectacular.

Smith with a clean 8th.

Have Bat - will travel.
Have bat - will travel, reads the card of a man.
A bat with some power in a savage land
His fast bat for hire heeds the calling strike
A soldier of fortune is the man called Uncle Mike.

This game pisses me off even more about last night.

A pitching clinic it has not been.
-
Strikeout, single, homer, homer.
Biagini not sticking to the script.
-
Get Osuna out there.
-
6-3 grounder, 2 outs.
-
And a walk brings the closer in to a game we had a six run lead going to the ninth.

2 out, 4 pitch walk ends Biagini's night.
Osuna coming in with a man on 1st.

Wow, this is brutal.

Tying run at the plate...

That was entirely unnecessary.

Whew

Wow, that was close.

Exhale. That was ridiculous.

Reddick makes the catch at the wall.
Astros win 6-3.
What a dick stomping 9th.
-
Reddick hit the ball hard in each of his ABs.
-
Fuck. If anyone had to make that catch, I'm glad it was Josh, in RF, over the wall.

Not over the wall, but right at it.
Reddick still playing great OF while scuffling horribly at the plate.
