He must be fairly deceptive, too: Pujols was fooled badly on that pitch he popped up.
Barmes!!!Is it just me, or is Altuve getting busted inside in a large majority of his pitches?
I'm surprised we're not hearing more about Barmes on the trade front...great in the field and he's been swinging the bat really well as of late.
Bases loaded with one out, and we get bupkis. We will lose this game.
Who didn't think he was going to hit a weak pop up to the right side?
I didn't. I was expecting his 3rd K.
Can they just pay Bourn and keep him around? Pence can be replaced.
This is kinda what I think as well. Wonder what Bourn will cost as an FA?
Well, if there's one person who wont undervalue him, it's Boras.
I'll bet that Wallace's bunting game just terrifies opponents.
appears more and more pence is staying. #astros stepping up efforts to deal wandy, myers, bourn.
Just posted this in the TZ, but it bears repeating here- or maybe it bears being completely ignored, I'm not sure-Fucking Jon Heyman. I hope he's fucking lying, or that his source is Ruben Amaro.
The only way this gets better is if the Astros' braintrust trades Bourn and moves Pence to CF.
I hope they're too busy checking out the front page to see this idea.
Fuck. That sucks.
And it was so, so close to being awesome too. Great job by Bourn.
God damnit, Brownie. You're pissing me off with this blaming the new grass. It ain't hurting the Cardinals.
I don't think they were blaming that one on the *new* grass, just commenting that it skipped a little bit because of the grass. Same thing would have happened with the old grass.
They were clearly implying that. No excuse for Corporan not making that play.
Sure there is, he is awful.
One of the little hopeful things I am clinging to these days is that Jason Castro can come back for the last few weeks of the season and provide some hope for next year.
That's assuming we haven't climbed back into the division race
Rodriguez has really fucked up what should have been an easy inning.
So carpenter batted but didn't come back out?
Yep. He's a good bunter.
Aye, just to lay down the sac.
Wait. So this season is now so completely fucked that we all agree with La Genius?
Jeez-uz, does Mills really think that CJ is a better hitter than Wallace? Why not PH Pence for CJ?
Yep. We're down that far.
Unbelievable.
Unfortunately, it's all too believable.
It turns here. Wild Card here we come!Why do you ask if I've been drinking?
Altuve is ... really lacking in the runs created category.
We don't ever do anything nice, and easy...
Does anyone really believe the Astros win this game?
Why pitch to Albert?
It's quicker.
Because Holliday beat the shit out of the ball twice tonight.
Ok, so I just tuned in for the first time. 9th inning, 2 outs, 2 on, up 2, Pujols up. Perfect.
That was when I flipped back to it as well. What a great win. 62 more of these and RFTL is mine!!!! It carries over into next year, right?
You fuckers owe me for last night's win: I went out on a limb and predicted earlier in this thread that we'd lose the game even when we were winning early.
