Definitely bad luck.

Seems the rest of the team just doesn't give a shit when it comes to defense. I feel like the Astros are going to want a ten-rule rule.

ugh, this team is bad.

Matt · « **Reply #6 on:** August 19, 2013, 07:35:36 pm »

I really really hate playing the Rangers. Especially in Arlington.

BudGirl · « **Reply #7 on:** August 19, 2013, 07:36:58 pm »

I rather think they think they just can't beat the Rangers. I really want the Astros to help the A's win the division.

Even when the Rangers were shitty, the Astros had trouble with them in interleague play.

jbm · « **Reply #9 on:** August 19, 2013, 07:38:57 pm »

Yeah, Harrell deserved a better fate that inning.

I haven't seen him in awhile. Even when he has his good sinker and can throw a fair amount of strikes, he could sure use a go to secondary pitch.

Real nice work by Castro and Carter.

BudGirl · « **Reply #10 on:** August 19, 2013, 07:39:03 pm »

Is it just me or does it seem like they Astros play the Rangers all the f-in time?

Well, Dominguez's nickname is domingo.

which just makes me think, the dingo ate my baby.

How does Matt Garza feel about his team bunting for hits?

It's a bad sign when Brownie and Ashby are already dreaming on George Springer again in only the 3rd inning.

Lucas Harrell still sucks.

10 run lead and only 1 out in the 3rd. leave this leblanc kid in and let him suffer.

but at least bases aren't loaded right now.

Reuben · « **Reply #36 on:** August 19, 2013, 08:27:15 pm »

My only regret in turning this off is that I love seeing position players pitch, and this game is certainly headed that way. Elmore? Barnes?

BudGirl · « **Reply #37 on:** August 19, 2013, 08:27:39 pm »

I hope they get all this crap out of their system tonight.

I think leblanc is going to be used until his arm falls off.

11 runs in one inning.

3rd inning is finally over. 3 innings completed in 1.5 hours. at this rate, I can't stay up this late.

No one injured to my knowledge, corporan did get hit but I think it is just because. Blakely starting for the rangers tomorrow.

I said early in the night, before the third innng it felt like a ten run rule kind of night. I wad right.

Of course, the Astros scored their second run of the game.

jbm · « **Reply #59 on:** August 20, 2013, 07:55:48 am »

That's pretty impressive. Catches four innings and then throws a scoreless one.

I don't get the DH rule. From previous games, I had assumed that if you were the DH, you couldn't substitute later as a defender. This assumption came from listening to games when Castro and/or Corporan was DH'ing and the announcers were concerned about the catcher getting hurt. When they used Elmore to replace Corporan, I again assumed my first assumption was correct, because otherwise, why wouldn't Castro have taken over at catcher after Corporan? Then, Elmore went into pitch, and I wondered who caught, and saw it was Castro. I also see that once Castro moved to catcher, no one filled the DH role. I guess you lose the DH once the original DH moves to a defensive position.

Fucking American League rules.
