0-0 at the end of 1.

Now the red sox is a team I can feel real animosity towards.

Wallace with a double.

inning over but lackey hurt - not sure to how hurt.

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #6 on:** August 05, 2013, 07:47:54 pm »

He rolled his ankle pretty bad, made me wince a bit.

BudGirl · « **Reply #7 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:01:45 pm »

lackey pitched the third. gave up a single, villar stole second and third then stranded there.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #8 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:09:41 pm »

Oberholtzer got away with a pitch to Ortiz.

He probably doesn't give a shit what the rest of the world thinks. If he did, I think he would have just accepted the ban and acted a little contrite.

chuck · « **Reply #12 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:36:17 pm »

Other than being a giant dick why did A-Rod receive a longer suspension than everyone else?

BudGirl · « **Reply #13 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:36:25 pm »

agreed, he seems to love the attention.

BudGirl · « **Reply #14 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:37:09 pm »

I think it might have something to do with positive testing where some were not tested but showed up on the biogenesis list.

Ty in Tampa · « **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:40:17 pm »

It was because there is evidence he acted to hinder MLBs investigation of Biogenesis.

Hoes scores!!

Don't they all?

1-0 Astros bottom 5.

Ty in Tampa · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:48:33 pm »

5 steals for the homeboys tonight!

BudGirl · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:48:49 pm »

5 stolen bases so far.

Ty in Tampa · « **Reply #20 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:52:13 pm »

Barnes and Altuve both K with runners 2nd and 3rd. 1-0 Astros through 5.

Oberholtzer gives up a 2-out infield hit and a walk to Papi but gets Napoli on a ground out to end top 6. Still 1-0 Astros.

Matt · « **Reply #24 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:14:37 pm »

I'm in Carter's support camp but lately he's been testing my belief.

Ty in Tampa · « **Reply #25 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:14:59 pm »

Carter 0-3, 3K

BudGirl · « **Reply #26 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:17:03 pm »

Wallace's K is the 10th for lackey

juliogotay · « **Reply #27 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:30:14 pm »

Any of you actually seeing this game? I'm becoming fascinated with Oberholtzer. What's he got?

BudGirl · « **Reply #28 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:31:09 pm »

high fastball to get his 2nd k of the night. i'm not a mlb scout, but the kid is pitching a good game.
0-1 Astros

BudGirl · « **Reply #29 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:31:37 pm »

he also stranded gomes at 3rd with one out.

jbm · « **Reply #30 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:32:46 pm »

Sparks is pretty fired up. Sounds like this kid is pretty competitive, stepping up when he needs it.

Matt · « **Reply #31 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:33:23 pm »

Bo Porter was fired up in the dugout after that strike out.

He doesn't have any one pitch that will blow you away. But his pitches are good and when he's hitting his spots he's quite efficient.

BudGirl · « **Reply #33 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:34:33 pm »

Hoes with his first 2b

Villar bunts, runners on the corners

lackey gone

jbm · « **Reply #34 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:36:25 pm »

His change was pretty damn good last game. It was pitch that made the others play up.

Matt · « **Reply #35 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:37:07 pm »

Hoes looks like a pretty solid player. Why wasn't he getting any ABs in Baltimore?

chuck · « **Reply #36 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:38:28 pm »

Maybe that Bourn trade wasn't so bad after all.

He's got a pretty mean change that he doesn't locate GREAT at least not tonight but it's effective. He does locate his fastball very well. It's not overpowering at all but that doesn't make any difference given his command. He's got a weird sweeping curve that acts oddly like his change. Basically he looks like a veteran out there tonight rather than a guy with, what, 20 innings?

NeilT · « **Reply #37 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:40:42 pm »

I'm thinking that tonight the bullpen is ready. It's gwine to be great.

chuck · « **Reply #38 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:43:08 pm »

Grossman's AB was one of the worst I have ever seen.

C'mon Jacksonian, there's no way you can jinx this bullpen. Might as well stake out a good result.
