Ash and Blummer absolutely flummoxed by the idea that if you score first you are more likely to win.

Here we go again with McHugh.

Good lord. Come on McHugh, why are you giving him anything he can even kinda hit 0-2? That was fucking terrible.

Sparks is wrong.

It was about knee high, but it was more of an Aunt Charlene than an Uncle Charlie.

It was at his knee on the inside corner. It wasn't a terrible pitch.

It was low in the zone and in a bit. It was not a horrible pitch by any means, nor was it really a hanger.

Bah, might as well stare at gameday if the announcer is going to be that wrong.

I think so.

He has options left, but he's in his fourth year in the big leagues, so depending on when he was called up in 2012, he may have to clear waivers to be optioned.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #18 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:01:14 pm »

McHugh with a base hit!

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:03:11 pm »

Springer with a knock...Astros have two on to start the 3rd...let's keep the line moving

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #20 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:05:26 pm »

Ashby forgets the Astros have a run

Correa grounds to SS, Springer erased 6-4, runners at the corners with and 1 out for Tucker.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #21 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:07:27 pm »

Tucker with an RBI groundout, as McHugh scores to make it 3-2

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #22 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:09:23 pm »

Correa swipes 3B, and Carter with a single to tie this puppy up!

This one is going to be a high scoring affair.

McHugh with a good bender to get Arenado...big out there.

MRaup · « **Reply #31 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:22:08 pm »

His name is Robert Paulsen.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #32 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:25:51 pm »

Nice work to get out of that jam.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #33 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:50:40 pm »

T5:

Tucker with a double on a 3-0 pitch drives in Correa...Astros take back the lead 4-3.

Ashby babbling about low humidity being good for your skin.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #34 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:51:41 pm »

Carter with a double!!! Tucker scores... now 5-3 Astros, still one out.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #35 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:54:05 pm »

Valbuena singles, Carter had to freeze, so he only makes 3B. But runners at the corner for Castro

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #36 on:** June 18, 2015, 03:58:55 pm »

Castro down on strikes, Marisnick down on strikes, but the Astros score 2...take a 5-3 lead.

STOP WALKING PEOPLE, MCHUGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!

McHugh finishes out the 6th. I'm sure that's all for him. Not his best day, but only four hits and three runs in Coors isn't a terrible day,

It seems like all of his decent outings lately have been of the "well it wasn't pretty, but I guess it kind of worked" variety

Is that not enough? If he doesn't throw a 2-hit shutout, he should be sent packing?

In field on Carter? Why? It's either a K or you want to be back.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #43 on:** June 18, 2015, 04:39:44 pm »

Correa with a double, and steals 3B again. But this time Carter strikes out looking.

MRaup · « **Reply #44 on:** June 18, 2015, 04:44:24 pm »

Hey Luis, you do realize that you can't hit the ones that are on the ground out of the ballpark, right?

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #45 on:** June 18, 2015, 04:48:33 pm »

Carter, Valbuena and Castro have combined for 8 strikesouts...in 7 innings.

Another blue star for Springer! Diving catch on a blooper to RF.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #48 on:** June 18, 2015, 04:55:10 pm »

Tulowhatthefuck with a single to bring up CarGo with 2 out

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #49 on:** June 18, 2015, 04:58:32 pm »

Ground ball ends the inning

We've played 7...or three hours, depending on how you want to look at it...Astros up 5-3

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #50 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:02:18 pm »

T8:

Castro doubles
Marisnick sac bunt, but comes up limping, grabbing hamstring

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #51 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:07:00 pm »

Marwin walks, and Santana will pinch hit for Sipp...HOME RUN!!!

First ML dinger...Astros go up 8-3

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #53 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:16:43 pm »

Marisnick has to leave the game with hamstring. I'm guessing he's also "day to day".

NeilT · « **Reply #55 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:22:45 pm »

Earlier this season the Stros were pitching great and not hitting. The games were running well under 3 hours. Now the pitching is not so great but the hitting is on fire, and the games are running well over 3 hours. I kinda miss the pitching duels.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #56 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:26:28 pm »

B8:

Leadoff double, then Neshek gets two punchouts.

Strikes out Barnes twice, for like the fourth time today, but apparently it's against the rules to call him out, so he walks
Single makes it 8-4, still two runners on with 2 out.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #57 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:28:20 pm »

We've played 8...Stros leading 8-4

NeilT · « **Reply #58 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:34:59 pm »

I think if I could redo my 35 all-star votes, I might vote for Arrenado.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #59 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:35:34 pm »

Valbuena grabs the Golden Sombrero to end the 9th...the Astros 17th strikeout of the day.

Fields will try to close out the 8-4 lead.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #60 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:43:44 pm »

1-2-3 9th to secure the win.

Astros sweep two 2-game series, or one 4-game series, depending on who you ask.

subnuclear · « **Reply #61 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:45:48 pm »

A hand broom sweep for each hand!

Weird fact I learned today, the Astros hitters are 4th in walks in the AL.

Bench · « **Reply #62 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:55:05 pm »
