Well, I was going to call that an Astros clusterfuck, but the Brewers managed to out-clusterfuck us.

Competing clusterfucks! Yessir, it's Astros baseball 2009!

That was weird. Cool, but weird. (JD: "When is a bad baserunning play a good baserunning play").

Bourn. Caught in a pickle and manages to slide safely into first. Matsui scores.

Now we need a bases loaded triple steal by the Astros where somehow everyone ends up scoring on 2 throwing errors and a fielding error.

This game would be tied if Carlos Lee wasn't dragging a bass boat around the bases.

C'mon Blum. You've got to get the run in. No Hampton. That's a mixed blessing. He wasn't sharp tonight.

OregonStrosFan · « **Reply #24 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:18:09 pm »

5th inning, Hampton out with an injury, Ortiz starts the top of the inning. (No word yet on the nature of the injury).

Bourn stayed close to Fielder and as he made the throw he slipped behind him, Fielder blocked the second man in the the pickle and Bourn was able to get close to 1st. On the 2nd throw, the throw went left Bourn went right and the fielder had to spin to try to make the tag, he spun around and his throw to first was late. Brilliant base running by Bourn.

Turned on the Astros game in the 5th. 2-1 and our starter is out, and apparently we've botched a rundown. MLIA.

Brewers botched the run down, with an assist by Bourn. Miggy choked a throw to the plate.

That's why Cooper brought in Ortiz.

Can Ortiz play third?

Ortiz with the bomb. Well, a "bomb". It counts anyway.

Thought that was gonna be 3 for sure.

Hampton with a cut left thumb. Got to be careful at those nail salons.

there it is, Bourn turns on the fastball in, liner over 1st.

I'm surprised he didn't go for it with one out already in the inning.

Pudge should be tagging people out at home on shallow flies to the outfield rather than having to worry about shouting CUT because the throws are totally fucking off line. That was ridiculous.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #43 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:56:31 pm »

Pence is no right fielder. No arm.

I mean, at least throw it in the general direction of the catcher, you know? Especially if you're very shallow.

Not sure why Blum didn't bunt there.

Shouting "CUT" is his job. I agree that the throws were bad, but that doesn't excuse Pudge from doing his, especially considering if he was, they'd have still gotten outs.

MusicMan · « **Reply #46 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:03:33 pm »

Not that I could tell. I didn't see anyone who would have been thrown out with the outfield throw cutoff.

In all fairness to Hunter his last throw in was marred by a spring-training like bounce. It was off line, of course, but probably not as bad as it looked.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #50 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:09:10 pm »

I think that Pudge could have gotten the Tejada throw, but I don't fault him on the Bourn and Pence throws. They were, well, not good.

Fielder was easily out, by several steps, had the throw from Bourn been relayed. Braun probably not, but a relay is the only shot you have on a throw that far off the mark. Letting the throw go through serves no purpose whatsoever.
