I looked at that lineup, saw Tucker was missing, then went up and down it looking for a left fielder 3 times.

Yeah, that's an odd one. What it boils down to is Hinch is choosing Valbuena's LH bat over Tucker's and Rasmus'. Or there's health concerns we don't know about.

Knoxbanedoodle · « **Reply #3 on:** June 04, 2015, 12:16:34 pm »

Valbuena had an 0fer when these guys last met, Tucker went 2-4. Isn't Rasmus sick or something?

JimR · « **Reply #4 on:** June 04, 2015, 12:26:51 pm »

Rasmus is sick.

I just started listening, but can keep score a bit.

Orioles 1-0. End of the 1st.

Snyder - K looking
Joseph - Carter backhand catch, tosses to Keuchel for the out
Flarety - K looking

Middle of the 2nd. Orioles 1-0.

Showalter was ejected between innings. Unclear why.

pots · « **Reply #9 on:** June 04, 2015, 01:39:02 pm »

Orioles run in the first was manufactured. Machado beat out an infield single to short. After 2 outs, took off to second just before Keuchel started his motion. And then scored on an opposite field flare by Davis. Keuchel struck out everybody else that inning. has 5 ks through 2

Came out to the my plate and argued balls and strikes. He's right about one thing ..strike zone is enormous.

Astros with 5 strikeouts through two innings, four of them looking.

Orioles also with 5 K, like its a contest for whiffs.

Arguing balls and strikes.

If Gameday is correct, Brian Gorman has been rough behind the plate so far. Davis should have been rung up before driving Machado and Pearce got K'd on a couple of pitches pretty far outside the zone.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2015, 01:47:19 pm »

Cabrera with a lead off walk in the third. Keuchel not looking sharp.

Single by Jones. Two on, two out.

Radio guys calling a "hustle double" for Carter. Gattis on third. 1 out.

MRaup · « **Reply #26 on:** June 04, 2015, 02:16:29 pm »

Hustle double = he was dangerously close to being out.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #27 on:** June 04, 2015, 02:17:14 pm »

And that boys and girls is why you hit the cutoff man. Sac fly by Valbueno scores Gattis who had stopped and headed back to third base until he saw the throw into the O's dugout.

2-1 Astros

Shitfuck. Boneheaded plays cost a run and put another RISP.

Tied at 2 now.

Springer walks, Altuve with a single down the thirdbase line. runners at corners 0 out

Captain Caveman pops up 1 down

Apparantly Carter missed a mistake pitch on 1-1 and proceeds to strike out.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #39 on:** June 04, 2015, 02:53:37 pm »

Carter and Valbuena fail to put it in play and a promising inning goes thud through the heart of the order.

Still 2-2.

pots · « **Reply #40 on:** June 04, 2015, 02:53:47 pm »

And Valbuena Ks to end the inning. (after Altuve stole second). Tough not getting a run there. Would have been nice to have Tucker batting after Altuve.

Exactly. Not sure how you can blame Qualls for the loss. Twice the Astros had a runner at 3B and no outs, and neither time could they put a ball in play to drive him home.

Frustrating loss, but shit happens. They took 3 of 4 in the series. Go get 'em tomorrow.

Losing to the non-Sale White Sox leads directly to the Rangers winning the division. Astros need to kick their ass next week and the Blue Jays in between.
