Not the best throw from left field from Grossman.

End of the 3rd. Astros 3-2.

subnuclear · « **Reply #4 on:** August 18, 2013, 03:59:52 pm »

Quick inning for Vargas. Astros still 3-2 going into 4th.

Jose Cruz III · « **Reply #5 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:00:45 pm »

For the recap, Hoes hit his 1st homer in the first. Oberholtzer has been squeezed pretty bad today. One of the hits in the first and Hamilton's triple were both on 2 strike counts and after Obie had thrown strike 3 to them only to get it called a ball. Obvious strike 3.

Hamilton sends one over the CF wall. Tied 3-3.

subnuclear · « **Reply #7 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:09:28 pm »

No more scoring by the LAA. Top of the 5th still tied.

Oberholtzer means "someone who lives near the high woods".

subnuclear · « **Reply #9 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:14:54 pm »

Another easy inning for Vargas. Still tied 3-3.

subnuclear · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:28:06 pm »

Oberholtzer gets through bottom of 5th with just a single. Tied 3-3.

Gonzalez reaches on wild pitch on 3rd strike. 2 outs.

subnuclear · « **Reply #12 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:38:00 pm »

Gonzalez steals second by a hair.

subnuclear · « **Reply #13 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:39:55 pm »

Grossman K's for third out. Tied 3-3. Middle of the 6th.

subnuclear · « **Reply #14 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:47:35 pm »

Another good inning for Oberholtzer. 3-3 going into 7th.

subnuclear · « **Reply #15 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:51:37 pm »

Hoes leads off the 7th with his third hit of the game.

subnuclear · « **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:54:55 pm »

Hoes advances to second on errant pick-off throw.

IBB to Corporan.

Dominguez makes them pay for their arrogance with a 3 run bomb! Astros up 6-3.

DINGO DINGER!!!

6-3 Astros, two out in the seventh.

Bench · « **Reply #20 on:** August 18, 2013, 04:59:22 pm »

Meanwhile Arizona has a couple of runners on base in the top of the 16th.

Barnes K's. Middle of the 7th. Astros up 6-3. I'm going to go make dinner.

Lyles threw the bottom of the 7th. Astros just scored again and are up 7-3.

Score was a sac fly by Altuve scoring Elmore. Middle of the 8th. Astros up 7-3.

Trumbo hits a 2-run homerun to LF. 7-5 Astros.

Lyles threw the bottom of the 7th.

I'm confused. When did Lyles get moved to the pen?

Today sort-of. There is a 6-man starter rotation and relievers needed a rest today so Lyles is pitching. I don't think its meant as permanent, but whatever.

End of the 8th with Astros still up 7-5.

Wasn't Jake Elmore both of the Blues Brothers?

Jake and Elwood. Too bad, but close.

Oh Lyles, quit walking people.

Chapman coming in with runners on first and second and 1 out.

Double play to end the game. Astros win 7-5!

McTaggart saying Harrell is starting tomorrow. Weird.

jbm · « **Reply #41 on:** August 18, 2013, 06:52:23 pm »

It is. I wonder why they just didn't use him to finish today and keep Lyles on turn. Presumably, if Harrell can start tomorrow, he could throw three today.
