An error in T1 allows Trout to get on base, but no-harm done as Harrell gets Pujols to fly out and struck out Trumbo looking.  Middle 1: LAA 0, HOU 0
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

Hamilton with another HR (solo) against the Astros in T2, but the Astros get an infield single, stolen base, and RBI single in B2 to tie it up.  End 2: LAA 1, HOU 1

Harrell doesn't want to come over the plate and the angels hitters aren't chasing. We need one I'd those handy double plays here.

Hey, Mr. Happy, just in case you didn't know: LSU @ A&M is supposed to be on ESPNU now. Although I'm looking right now and it's some show about Lolo Jones. Maybe there's a rain delay.

Brocail needs to tell Harrel that Grossman shouldn't be involved with a pickoff.

But hey, Altuve looks to be in good form. Take notes Dominguez.

Harrell really laboring in T3, allowing an unearned run on an error (Dominguez 2nd of the night), followed by a walk, RBI single and a walk.  But for a SWEET play by Altuve on a ball hit by (the speedy) Shuck, the Angels would have scored at least two, maybe more runs. Middle 3: LAA 2, HOU 1

Terrific and timely play by Altuve. I thought there was no way he'd get to that cleanly.

And the Astros with their second RBI/run into an out combo of the game.

Tie ballgame headed to the fifth. Harrell still in.

Let me just say... It is a joy to watch Jose Altuve play the game of baseball.

Astros tie it up after an Altuve single, stolen base, and base hit by Carter.

End 4: LAA 2, HOU 2

And with that, I'm outta here.  GO ASTROS!

I was curious about this. Yahoo has him as getting a 'W', but MLB.com has it going to the guy who pitched the 5th inning.  I presumed Yahoo is wrong...but...

So, do most of you like/dislike Ashby?

I'm leaning towards the dislike.  He seems like a glass have empty kind of guy.

Mine does that too. Sound is fine through headphones, but key clicks, ring tones, etc all go mute. And then, for no apparent reason, they will come back a few days later. And then they'll go away. Seems like it might be correlated with charging the phone, but I really think it's some sort of software bug.

Sound did come back on my iPhone. Weird. Happened a few times now, not a great sign.

Meanwhile, had to call the cops on our neighbors.

Our neighborhood's like that.  I swear the guys next door are busting the deed restrictions.

no one seems to know.

porter called for wright - pitching change
then soccia pinch hit for shuck.
porter then came out to ask if he could change the pitcher.
umps told him yes after they conferred
soccia comes out to say they can't do that
lot of talking
soccia now having the game played under protest.

one theory is that wright is injured

So the home team can do that with pinch hitters but not relief pitchers? I guess that makes sense?

I thought that a pitcher who came in had to face at least one batter, aka the Chris Holt rule. Or maybe he only has to throw one pitch (although that seems less likely, since the pitcher could just throw an intentional ball without much ill consequence).

I assume HH will know what the rule is.

3.05

(a) The pitcher named in the batting order handed the umpire-in-chief, as provided in Rules 4.01 (a) and 4.01

(b), shall pitch to the first batter or any substitute batter until such batter is put out or reaches first base, unless the pitcher sustains injury or illness which, in the judgment of the umpire-in-chief, incapacitates him from pitching.

(b) If the pitcher is replaced, the substitute pitcher shall pitch to the batter then at bat, or any substitute batter, until such batter is put out or reaches first base, or until the offensive team is put out, unless the substitute pitcher sustains injury or illness which, in the umpire-in-chief’s judgment, incapacitates him for further play as a pitcher.

(c) If an improper substitution is made for the pitcher, the umpire shall direct the proper pitcher to return to the game until the provisions of this rule are fulfilled. If the improper pitcher is permitted to pitch, any play that results is legal. The improper pitcher becomes the proper pitcher as soon as he makes his first pitch to the batter, or as soon as any runner is put out.

Rule 3.05(c) Comment: If a manager attempts to remove a pitcher in violation of Rule 3.05
(c) the umpire shall notify the manager of the offending club that it cannot be done. If, by chance, the umpire-in-chief has, through oversight, announced the incoming improper pitcher, he should still cor- rect the situation before the improper pitcher pitches. Once the improper pitcher delivers a pitch he becomes the proper pitcher.

I thought that a pitcher who came in had to face at least one batter, aka the Chris Holt rule. Or maybe he only has to throw one pitch (although that seems less likely, since the pitcher could just throw an intentional ball without much ill consequence).

The Chris Holt rule is that you have to have a pitch between mound visits. I guess that applies here.

Budweiser's sponsoring this. It's weird, the last time I was here it was DBN and I attended by design.  Tonight it was just random. I walked in and saw the beer lines a mile long and wondered what the hell was going on.

51s up 4-0 but RR has runners on first and third with no one out.

I assume HH will know what the rule is.

For the record, I can't figure out why that move was allowed either. The rule is pretty clear that Wright has to face one batter or end the inning.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

The umpire didn't know the rule. It's that simple.

It's pretty bad when a rule many casual fans know is a mystery to an MLB crew or that a play that some goon sitting on his couch with a Busch Light scratching his ass through his boxers can see and judge correctly in real time is (supposedly) reviewed by an MLB crew and a plainly incorrect decision is rendered.

The umpire didn't know the rule. It's that simple.

It's pretty bad when a rule many casual fans know is a mystery to an MLB crew or that a play that some goon sitting on his couch with a Busch Light scratching his ass through his boxers can see and judge correctly in real time is (supposedly) reviewed by an MLB crew and a plainly incorrect decision is rendered.

I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.
