Thanks, Dee.
End 2
-
Cole strikes out the side in the 3rd.
-
(I know it was mentioned during his AB in the 2nd) Enjoyed the smile exchange b/t Tucker & Bregman as they return to their positions after Kyle's catch in LF during the 1st. He's getting comfortable. Can't hurt his ability to contribute.
Marisnick's HR - WOW!
-
Altuve hustles into a leadoff double.
Bregman hit on the forearm.
1st/2nd no outs for Alvarez.
-
Alvarez hits a rope to the feet of the RFer who had to turn and chase the ball to the wall. Both runners score.
Alvarez to 2nd.
6-0

Yes. Very good for young guys to contribute. Takes some anxiety away and builds confidence.
-
Quadrupedal double.
-
Diaz doubles off the scoreboard in left, Alvarez scores.
Tucker promptly drives an outside fastball to right for a rule book double, Diaz scores.
I like doubles.
8-0.
-
I doubt it’s on tv, but the batting practice is terrific. What time does the game start?
-
Felix used to be so good. He has aged badly.
-
Toro walks.
Machete doubles into LF corner, Tucker scores, Toro to 3rd.
King Felix has abdicated.
Astros lead 9-0.
Still nobody out.
-

Great to see Toro's 2B in the 2nd and BB in the 3rd. Pulling for him to become a presence @ 3B, freeing Bregman to cover SS.
W/ Correa (funny, had to take a couple seconds to remember his name) out, how does Bregman's coverage @ SS compare with the other options?
-

Blum noted his FB has lost velocity, making his changeup much less effective.

Bregman is by far their best 2nd option at SS.
-
Springer dinger!
-
Jake faces Ron Swanson (RHP), pops out to Gordon in shallow left.
Springer hits a 3 run homer to right
12 nothing vaunt
-
Springer Dinger. This is becoming obscene.
-
Quadrupedal (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Quadrupedal&ia=definition) double.
Had to look it up....
It's good to learn about something besides (in addition to) baseball...
What is six doubles?
-
Springer 3 run dinger. Astros dropping the MF’n soupbone on Seattle. 12-0
-
Altuve pops out to shallow right
-
Bregman singles to left.
Straw in to run for him (simple early rest, no apparent injury)
12 runs, that was their first single.
-
Straw is now warmed up....
-
Alvarez breaks the team's extra base hit drought with a double.
Straw scores just as Alvarez is pulling up at 2nd.
13-0

Auto corrected quadruple for some reason.
-
Diaz walks.
Tucker is the 14th batter of the inning. Tucker Ks.
Astros up 13-0.
-
Auto corrected quadruple for some reason.
Should it have been what is are six doubles?
-
Auto corrected quadruple for some reason.
It's when you run to 2nd on all fours.
-
That was some bona fide vaunting.
-
Shed Long (stil love that name) hits a 1 out homer into the Crawford Boxes.
Cole gets the next 2 batters by groundout and strikeout.
13-1 mid 4
-
Astros don't score in the 4th.
-
In that regard,
Is there a chance for Toro to make the playoff roster?
How high would he have to hit?
How does his defense compare with the other options. w/ Bregman @ SS?
As a switch hitting 3rd baseman I would think that Toro has a good chance to make a postseason roster should they be fortunate enough to qualify.
-
I switched over to Fox for a moment and saw a commercial for the WWE that has Josh Reddick in it.
-
2 strikeouts and a flyball in the top of the 5th.
-

I would say it depends on Correa's health and what A.J. and Jeff want.

Yes! Thank you!
(It's gone.)
Here's hoping....
-
Shed Long (stil love that name)
Short for Shedric.
-
Tucker hits a bases loaded double to the base of the wall in right.
2 runs score
15-1
-
Vaunt Vaunt Vaunt
Does Tucker have a hit off of a good fastball yet? Everything I've seen him mash has been breaking stuff
-
Short for Shedric.
So Shedric Short?
-
Will Stubbs, currently in LF, move in as C once Cole is finished and could we see Abreu (https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-abreu-650556) in this game?
-
WWE commercial with Reddick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=pu4V7sdOgbA). Josh is at the 49 second mark.

If that's what Hinch wants.

2 Ks for Cole in the 6th.
15-1

I love Josh Reddick

One of his hits today was an outside FB.
I would guess Oakland will try to saw him off after the series he's had against the Ms.
-
Stubbs with a 2 out double to right.
Astros 1 extra base hit shy of the franchise record.
-
Straw hits a routine grounder to short, easily beats the throw.
He fast.
-

True.
At least I hope I fixed it....
-
Alvarez hits a rule book double to right; Stubbs scores.
16-1
Pitch was well in off the plate. Impressive.
Diaz pops out.
End 6
-
Cleveland leads Minnesota 5-1 in the 7th.
Detroit and Oakland just underway.
Boston and NY play tonight on the worldwide bleater.
-
2 more Ks make it 13 for Cole.
Time to stretch.
16-1 Astros
-
I've had to fix the refrigerator...what have I missed?
-

Not much.
Springer is back.
Gordon made a fielding error.
That's about it.
-
Toro doubles off the deep wall in left.
Franchise record 11th double of the day.
-
Jake singles to left, Toro holds up at 3rd.
-
Felix used to be so good. He has aged badly.
If they remake Miami Vice I think King Felix would be good casting.
-
Springer beats the wrap on a FC; Jake out at 2nd, Toro scores.
17-1
-
Last time we curbstomped a team like this, it put us into a weeklong funk
-
Stubbs walks, Straw singles in Maldonado.
18-1.
-

They are walking base to base. Seattle is just hopeless today.

So...they should do what?
-
Alvarez single to center plates 2 more.
20-1.
-
Hopefully, this means Yordan is back.
-
Diaz rips a single to left.
21-1.
-

BBGs prefer Astros today versus this:

Just an observation
-

Jerry Dipoto will makes some trade this off season and well, he'll make some more trades after that.
-
FC ends the inning.
It's 21-1 heading to the 8th.

Do guys like that just decide at some point in their life, "yeah, I'm just going to be a dick."
-

There are no rookies on the bench...

Did Francona ask him, "What the fuck is your problem?"
-

He seems to have made the decision a while ago.
-

I'd ask Antonio Brown if he was here.
-
Juggernaut is the 14th strikeout victim of the game for Cole.
-

The Mariners have given up on this game, this season, and this decade.
-

Kinda like the dude whistling "Happy Birthday" throughout the game.
Wouldn't you love to be sitting in front of him....
-
Make it 15 Ks thru 8.
-
Cole has pitched a hell of a game so far.
-
Have we seen Cole better than this? I know there is a lot to choose from but he's unhittable.
-

On par with his performance against Arizona last season.
-
Jake has a 3 hit game.
-
To the 9th.
Only drama is whether Cole will be out there.
-
Jake has a 3 hit game.
Everyone raised their batting average today except Springer. He was 1 for 7.
-
Cole 8 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 15 K, 0 BB
That'll do.
-
Devo pitches the 9th
Groundout, strikeout, strikeout
Astros squeak out the 21-1 victory
-
Happy Birthday, Gerrit Cole.
-
Good to see that version of Devo.

I don't know. He had 4 LOB and only 4 rbi. He needs to step it up.
-

His slugging percentage was still pretty good.
-

But at least the one was HR for 3RBI. I’d take that every day and twice on Sunday. And he hustled to avoid the gidp for another RBI.
-
The post-game hostess has pointed out the Astros outscored 5 NFL teams today.

Yeah, my comment was tongue in cheek.

Odds are they'll outscore the Texans tomorrow night too.

Gotcha, my sarc-o-meter battery must be low.

The only rivalry in MLB that comes close to the intensity of Astros/Mariners is being played out in Fenway tonight. Let's go Socks. Sawks. Whatever.

My daughter worked in Houston this week and stayed over the weekend so that we could all go see a game together. My wife and I drove down this morning, picked her up and headed to MMPUS. It turns out that she's a pretty good good luck charm. If I can score a playoff ticket I may have to fly her back in.
