Pence still chases that high pitch.
Does anyone else cringe when Michaels comes to bat?
JD is getting dangerous out there with his arm.
Bad tag? Was the call correct there?
He nailed him but the runner's foot knocked the ball out of Downs' glove.
And the shit out of Downs' hand.
Happ wanted to make sure a he did more than just clear the boxes.
I can understand managing a team in the playoff chase wanting to get their veteran bench players some time while resting some starters. I like Michaels, bat this just isn't the situation the Astros are in right now.
I know this is possibly poor taste, but Niekro's daughter is kinda hot.
It's puzzling, isn't it? Maybe Mills wants to demonstrate a respect for veterans. That's about all I can come up with.
Who's the nimrod behind the plate tonight?
Fuck, Happ. This is no time to nibble.
Another nice play in RF by Martinez. I think he'll do fine out there.
But he's not nibbling. He's hitting the fucking zone. The umpire's too dim to call it.
Shuck is in right.
Michaels has a broken finger--out for the year and probably his career.
How?
A 95 mph two seamer. This kid Carpenter has some good stuff.
