Gattis absolutely crushed that very high fastball (Blum says 1.5 feet up out of the zone, and I don't think he was exaggerating by much) to make it 2-0 HOU after T1.

Bauer (Indian SP) turned around and said "wow" after Gattis crushed that one...

4.4 feet off the ground according to sources  on twitter. The highest ball hit for a home run this year by anyone.

Very nice job by Marisnick at the plate and on the bases.  But Correa and Gattis both hack at balls that bounce in front of the plate.

Damn, such a good game for Straily with a very poor finish.

The lack of runs is getting old.

Amazing escape by Harris, with some help by Rasmus. Maybe a bit of good fortune too.

Yeah, Thatcher's inability to throw strikes has him in Chad Qualls territory. They simply can't risk using him in crucial situations.

Well shitfuck.

The losses lately seem to be more on a lack of hitting than poor pitching.

Springer is being missed. He makes things happen and I think he catches that ball off the wall in RF in the 8th.

I would play Rasmus or Marisnick in RF every game.
