It was man on 3rd, NO outs with Grossman still at bat. And yes, strikeouts do matter.

Castro walks with the bases loaded. Hell of an AB there Jason! 2-0 Astros. Angels making a pitching change. 1 out.

I think was 10 pitches on that at-bat.

That was a nice swing by Carter. Roped a slightly looping liner into LF, nice and somewhat risky play by Trout to dive for that, going towards the line, although he clearly had a play.

At least they tacked on that one.

Reuben · « **Reply #48 on:** August 16, 2013, 10:53:01 pm »

Fuckin hell, Wallace, you gotta knock that ball down. Nice try by Altuve, bad result.

Reuben · « **Reply #49 on:** August 16, 2013, 10:58:06 pm »

RBI 3-1 for Conger scores Aybar from 3rd, 3-1 Astros. Run will be unearned unless Peacock allows another hit this inning.

geezerdonk · « **Reply #50 on:** August 16, 2013, 11:06:38 pm »

Way past time to Ankielize Wallace. At bat, in the field and on the base paths he is the team millstone.

I'm not a big believer in Wallace at this point either, but don't you think that's a bit hyperbolic? His is also a totally different circumstance from Ankiel's.

Reuben · « **Reply #52 on:** August 16, 2013, 11:23:00 pm »

Whew. Trout walks on a full count with 2 outs, bringing up Hamilton, who I thought got more of the ball than he did; relatively easy catch for Hoes ends the inning.

By the way, I just realized that on mlb.tv, you can select to do KMBE as the audio overlay on the TV broadcast. It's synched up perfectly. So, sorry Blummer, I like you, but Ashby sucks, and Ford and Sparks are really good. They win.

Matt · « **Reply #53 on:** August 16, 2013, 11:23:31 pm »

Keep talking bad about him. Wallace with a leadoff double.

Carter says "U FOO" and drives in a run. 4-1 Astros.

Matty D doesn't like Jepsen so he grounds a hard hit ball off him for a base hit. 2 on. 2 out.
