Heads up baserunning recovery by Bourn. WTF is going on with our two out running? Clark and Cheo are not on the same page?

Checking other games during the inning break, Luke Scott belted a grand salami off of D-Train. Scott's hit four dingers in his last three games since being reinstated from the disabled list.

The way I saw it, the ball didn't hit the ground until right after Pudge got his glove on the ball. If you get your mitt on it, you should get it.

Cooper just left Moehler in, and I find myself concerned that we agree with each other.

Same thing happened last inning - struck someone out on 2-2, no call, winds up walking him, ground rule double, Cooper comes out, Moehler stays in. Weird.

ETA: it was Morgan in the 8th

Home plate ump oughta be ashamed of himself. He robbed Moehler of the CG shutout.

I was only watching the gameday on mlb.com... How stressful were the pitches? I can speculate that it wasn't bad considering the score and inning breakdown... I'm sure that's the most pitches by an Astro pitcher this year. Is it wrong that it crossed my mind that Cecil left him out there so he would be sore and allow Brandon to take his next start?

Stressful? I'm not sure what that means. And yes, it way wrong to think Cooper left him in when he was throwing a shutout in the 9th to intentionally have him injured.

Stressful - I wasn't sure how much effort went into throwing the 123 pitches. It looked like it was a lot of non-stressful situations that led to the buildup of that high of a count. that's all.

I was being sarcastic given the amount of heat on Coop this week. That's all. I certainly didn't think that he was intentionally trying to hurt one of the members of the rotation.

Or to suggest that the manager would intentionally try to get his pitcher injured.

BTW, how much longer is the hyperbole around the lineup card incident good for?

123 pitches worth of effort went into it. I guess you're suggesting that throwing 123 pitches in a 6-0 game is different than throwing 123 pitches in a 1-0 game. I don't buy that.

Well, I guess I would consider the stress of the situation when trying to figure out how hard a pitcher had to work.

I wasn't aware that everything written in the GZ or TZ was taken at face value. My apologies.

It doesn't hurt that he at least remotely resembles an adult version of this guy. "yeah, yeah - oscar meyer even"

Note: Please ignore the actual adult rendering of "yeah yeah" and the context for which I found this picture (the only close up I could find). This post in no way insinuates that Maysonet is going to Lugo on his woman.
