Why are we playing our JV today?

JimR · « **Reply #2 on:** September 23, 2017, 12:14:29 pm »

No Altuve or Springer. Reddick is still hurt I assume.

Bregman SB and Correa single plates one in the first.

Nice to watch on MLB TV. National Fox broadcast but can change audio settings to Ford/Sparks.

OutSTANding call. AJ was about to drive me to kill someone.

Geez, Morton has needed only 35 pitches to get through four innings. McCullers might want to take note.

Pitching like he wants a turn in October.

Why would you ever do a hit-and-run with Fisher at the plate? That's just asking for disaster.

Adding White to the mix just makes it worse.

Marwin didn't need to rush that throw.

That was not a hit and run, but I agree starting the runner with The Strikeout Machine up is low percentage.

Correar doubles with 2 on, one scores. Now Astros lead 2-0

Oso Blanco goes yard, 5-0

Meanwhile, A&M leads Arkansas by three, Tech leads Houston by three.

No alternate audio available here, got the radio feed on At Bat on my phone.

Man, Gatis crushed that HR. Correa was "this close" to doing the same on his double.

JimR · « **Reply #21 on:** September 23, 2017, 01:54:31 pm »

I know Fisher can run and has 5 homers, but so far, I do not see what they must see. Two of his groundouts today were on ankle-high pitches, and there is the K thing.

What are the rules on eligibility for AFL participation? I wonder if they'll want to send him out there to try to get on track again.

Raise your hand if you had Morton down for 7 IP, 1 R, 1 ER today.

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2017, 02:10:54 pm »

Radio guys mentioned the Halos have 23 scoreless innings, 2 pitches later Upton hits it out.

Good guys lead 5 - 1.

Occasionally I see glimpses of a half way decent ballplayer. You know like Robbie Grossman. Nothing special.

Marwin hasn't hit a homer for a while, but not for lack of effort. Settles for a double.

He certainly took a gomez rip at the previous pitch.

They gave him LF and threw Nori in the Liriano trade.

Our JV beat their varsity. Upton was stubborn about it.
