When keeping score, what number represents the DH?
Carter fucking destroyed that ball.ETA: I think it cleared the top of those ugly billboards in LF. They say 440', seemed farther than that from how high it was.
Jeff Luhnow @jluhnow 8mChris Carter, meet the Community Leaders!
Grossman gets his 1st big-league hit, an automatic double off the chalk in RF, but is stranded at 2nd after an Altuve walk and a Laird 1-6-3 DP.

Laird? Has he been on the team all month?
No. Keep up. He replaced Walrus who was sent down to OKC to learn the concept of ball-hitting-bat.
People with MLB EI outside of the TexLaNewMex area: Do you ever get the CSN feed? It seems when I watch the games on DTV's MLB HD Mix channel it's always the other team's TV feed, regardless of home and away. Is that a DirecTV thing or all of MLB EI?
If anyone is watching the game. How is it now 4-0?
Ronny Cedeno jacked one over the Crawford Boxes after Carter walked and Corporan singled.
Carter walked and Cedeno went deep? I did not see that coming.
Grossman's having a nice start.
Harrell has calmed down a bit on his pitch count
I blame you.
Grossman is the first Astro with 2 doubles in his MLB debut since the immortal James Mouton in 1994.
I had an Algerian roommate once. He said that if one went to Paris, the only phrase you needed to know was "je ne suis pas un mouton." I hope I got that right. Anyway, all I could ever think of with mouton was baaa, and that Algerian.
Seriously, anyone who's not watching, you should go look at Altuve's play in the highlights later. Really outstanding sliding scoop, tumble, and quick throw from a seated position.
Your roommate was an Algerian prostitute?
Oy, Grossman. Feast or famine, amirite?
Cruz in to pitch. Great game for Harrell.
Very solid bounceback for Harrell. He was all over the place in the first two innings, but he really found his release point and turned in a fine performance.
What are you going to be doing in Toledo?
Working for The University of Toledo Foundation, and no doubt attending my share of Mudhens games.
Be sure to visit Tony Packo's.
Will do. Restaurant?
Astros win 10-3 and take their second series against the M's.
That means they're 7-14 for the season. They're playing .500 ball!
Caught the SEA postgame this evening and they showed it. Fantastic!ETA: Not a 'Web Gem' by ESPN (though Utley had a blah play that made #2... don't know why I bother...). In any event... Here is the video.
Fuck. Those. ESPN cocksuckers. That was a triple blue star play.
Thanks for the link. That's a heck of a play.
Ashby made one really good point (actually made it before this play): Altuve is great at getting rid of the ball quickly. Grounders, DP feed from the SS, whatever, he has an extremely quick transfer and release.

Sphinx linked to three highlights in his recap.
Sphinx, that's some fearful symmetry. The Red Sox are doomed.
'Tuve, 'Tuve, burning bright, on the ballfields of the night...
