Top 1:
Altuve singles, JD doubles him home.

Bottom 1:
PenisNose 2 run HR.

Top 2:
Snyder HBP
Happ SAC
Schaefer F8
Altuve RBI single
JD walk
Lee RBI single, JD to 3b when Braun whiffs on the pickup.
JD scores on PB (man, is that a lot of space to the backstop).

Correction: Scorer somehow ruled that a wild pitch. It was knee high and inside, but any catcher should make that play.

MusicMan · « **Reply #2 on:** April 25, 2012, 01:01:05 pm »

B2:

Happ again starts "protecting" his lead by surrendering a no-doubt HR to Slappy Ishakawa.

JD earlier: Altuve has been 0-2 13 times this season, and he's hit .385 in those at-bats. Small sample, but jeez that's impressive.

Happ opens B3 single-double, and the double from Errormiss barely stayed in the yard. No way he makes it through 5 today.

Runner scores against the Astros on a wild pitch. Stop me if you heard that one before

edit: according to Doray, that is the third run for the Brewers on a wild pitch in the series.

It's knotted at 4 through middle 4. Mr. The Altuve 3-3 (2R, RBI) and JD 2-2 (BB, R, RBI).

Misc. Mr. Happy Note: Per JD, Lyles has 24 Ks in 26 IP with 4 BB thusfar this season.

Other Misc. MiLB notes: Springer went 4-4 last night after an 0-5 (5 Ks) the night before. And Nash's 8 HRs lead MiLB (but he also has 22 Ks).

Goebbert dropped a fly ball they ruled a hit. Cisnero should have gone 5 scoreless with 12 Ks.

Get the fuck out of the way, you goon. Jesus. Ever seen that happen twice off one pitcher?

McClendon takes another hard grounder off the body, deflects right to short stop for your routine 1-6-3 putout at first.

"...a fairly unique putout."

God dammit, it's either unique or it isn't. It's never 'quite unique' or 'really unique' or 'fairly unique.' Morons.

The TV is in behind the bumper pool table, and just around the corner from the jacuzzi. It's easy to miss.

I was in court on my child support matter in Louisiana getting a stern lecture from a judge who wanted to put me in jail for 60 days. She actually sentenced me to 60 days but deferred it. Cunt.

There's a whole lot to the story, Biz. I have been paying to the tune of $3,900 per month for a long time but the economy put me behind--no malicious intent on my part--just too much month at the end of the money. It is very difficult to reduce child support here. It is my fault because it was set at a time when I was representing myself (yeah, I know now--a fool for a client) However, I just got it reduced. To $726.
