Gattis seems like he has made some good adjustments.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #2 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:27:23 pm »

Nice to see Gattis picking it up... It is good to see the guys getting more confident.

Marwin had a great at bat to get on base too.. I wouldn't mind seeing him and Altuve switching spots..

subnuclear · « **Reply #3 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:29:57 pm »

Marwin is too slow for leadoff. He might be too slow for 2.

He's definitely too slow for NL ball, but I'm not so sure for AL ball. Especially if he just gets on base.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #6 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:35:13 pm »

I'll pick up PBP here in the 2nd

Nate in IA · « **Reply #7 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:36:06 pm »

Marwin grabs a sinking liner for out #1.. forgot to get the batter.. 1 out

Nate in IA · « **Reply #8 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:36:45 pm »

Morrison up so the last batter was Kyle Seager

Nate in IA · « **Reply #9 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:37:04 pm »

Morrison with a lazy fly to Springer in right.. two down.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #10 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:39:45 pm »

Zunino takes the count to 2-2 and grounds out to Marwin to end the top of the 2nd.

Astros lead 3-0 after 1.5.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #11 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:42:27 pm »

Jonathan Villar leads off the bottom of the 2nd. Brownie tells us he turned 24 yesterday.

Swings at high fastball for strike 3. 1 out.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #12 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:44:38 pm »

Jose Altuve grounded to 2nd his first at bat..

fouling off a bunch of pitches..

grounds out 4-3.. 2 outs

Nate in IA · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:45:50 pm »

Marwin up hitting .283 with a homer..

flies out to 9.

3 outs. At the end of 2, Astros lead 3-0.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:49:13 pm »

Dustin Ackley lines one over Colby Rasmus and stands on 2nd with a lead-off double.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:51:06 pm »

Brad MIller hitting .250 on the year and hitting in the 9 spot.

Lines one into the corner and Miller legs it out into a triple by the time Springer gets it back into the infield.

Ackley scores to make it 3-1.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:53:08 pm »

Jackson grounds out to Carter who looks Miller back at 3rd and tosses to Hernandez covering. Jackson manages to step on Hernandez' foot and twists his ankle. Looks pretty painful.

1 out.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #17 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:56:11 pm »

Seth Smith up for the second time..

Noticeable breeze picking up..

Wow.. Smith flies out to Springer who gets the ball in to Castro who seems to get the tag on him before his foot hit the plate..

Challenge ensues

And Springer leads off after that great play in the top half,

Grounds down the first base line and stretches it to a double.

Right fielder airmails the throw and Springs is safe by a long shot..

This just in.. Springer is fast.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #24 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:03:42 pm »

Gattis grounds out to second and Cano finds Springer halfway between 2nd and 3rd and gets him.

FC Gattis on First. 1 out.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #25 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:04:23 pm »

Cano up to bat hitting .280

Fly ball to Marisnick who looked like he was about to dive for it but cruises on under it for the out.

Hernandez at 44 pitches

Nate in IA · « **Reply #31 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:11:48 pm »

Cruz singles to right..

Man on first, one out.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #32 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:13:34 pm »

Kyle Seager hitting .241... dutifully grounds into the shift.. 4-6-3 double play to end the inning..

Astros lead 5-1 after 4 and a half..

jbm · « **Reply #33 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:14:41 pm »

Quality turn there by Marwin. He may never have come at the bag from the second base side while also receiving the throw from the same side.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #34 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:17:17 pm »

Jason Castro leads off the Houston half of the 4th.

and grounds one past the first baseman for a stand-up double!

President Bush is determined to get all that ice cream out of the container. Good to see him out there.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #36 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:20:31 pm »

Jonathan Villar at the plate..

Takes the count to 3-2.

Austin Jackson has a sprained ankle..

Villar pops it up to Cano.. he seems to be getting under a lot of balls.

1 out, man on 2nd..

Nate in IA · « **Reply #37 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:20:54 pm »

Jose Altuve is granted the intentional walk.

Mclendon knew that Castro would score with Jose at the plate..

Nate in IA · « **Reply #38 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:23:19 pm »

Gonzales lines the first pitch past a diving Morrison which scores Castro and Jose takes off for third.

Jose is called out

Looks safe to me and Hinch is challenging.

I don't understand that call at all.. Jose is out.

chuck · « **Reply #41 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:26:06 pm »

Marwin is so good.

Altuve was plainly safe.

Ash is a Kubiakian 0-2 on the challenges.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #42 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:27:35 pm »

Springer at the plate with 2 outs..

Lines out to Morrison who was holding Marwin on.. 3 outs

Astros lead 6-1

Nate in IA · « **Reply #43 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:29:32 pm »

Marwin really should have taken second on the throw to the plate as Jose was going into third. If he had been standing on second Springers line shot would have made it past Morrison and scored Marwin.

Nate in IA · « **Reply #44 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:31:01 pm »

Morrison leads off the top of the 5th

Huh. Morrison draws a walk ...

I was at a game once with my mom. We were in the Club Level for some reason. There was a whole row of fat fuckers right in front of us who decided that the best time to pop up and get some snacks was just when the first pitch of any given half inning was about to be made. I got into it with this one bitch who, to her credit, started her future snack runs as the third out was being made. On her first such snack run she turned around and sarcastically asked me if this was OK with me. I assured her it was. I then told my mom that she was going to come back with a plastic hat full of ice cream topped with colorful sprinkles. My mom scoffed. But guess what?

Nate in IA · « **Reply #46 on:** May 03, 2015, 02:33:39 pm »

Pops it up on the infield. Altuve squeezes it for out 1.

I could see him coming out for the 7th just to see if you get lucky, but the first time somebody drilled a ball off of him, he needed to be yanked. Leaving him in to pitch to Zunino just because he's right-handed was not a good plan.

I hate to second guess Hinch, but I started screaming at my phone (on which I'm listening to the game) when he let fucking Carmonadez back out there in the seventh. He should have called it a day at six frames. I just don't like him. He's lacking swing-and-miss stuff.

You are fucking crazy. I agree with you about 6 innings, but you want "swing and miss stuff" from a #5 starter. Hernandez was great today.

We all know that I'm fucking nuts. I don't necessarily think that you can get swing-and-miss stuff from a five; that'd be a lot to ask from such a pitcher. I just don't care for Hernandez, but he's our best option right now.

Did you watch the game? I did. He dominated for 5 pounding the strike zone. He started nibbling in the 6th getting tired and was made to go too long in the 7th.

Now up 7 games on the division.

Not to mention they are 1.5 games up on the Tigers with the best record in baseball

Fausto seems to be the # 4 starter with Deduno filling the # 5 role. Surely it's time for Shirley to get a star.

Obie should be activated in a couple of weeks I would think. They say they are encouraged by Wojo making adjustments they are working with him on. I don't think they are really comfortable with Deduno in the rotation and partly because they like him in the pen.

Sure looked like pretty good throw to me, one that he has stop. I'll look at the replay again.

He was scrambling to hop over the top of the runner, and the throw glanced off the tip of his glove (which prevented Fausto from knocking it down and keeping it out of the dugout). You can argue that maybe he should have been on the inside of the runner, but given where he was and where the throw went, I don't think he had a very good chance at stopping it.

Pitching matchups against the Rangers look like if you are wondering:
Detwiler vs. Keuchel
W. Rodriguez vs. Feldman
Lewis vs. Deduno

Someone should write some sort of thing to preview the series.

Yes, but that's the NL. That doesn't count.

no, you cannot argue that. if he was inside, the runner's slide would have crossed the line of the relay throw,

Marwin got the error.

Exactly. You never want to let the runner get between you and the ball.
