Astros put a 4 spot on the board to get things started, highlighted by a Rasmus Double, Gattis Single and Amrwin 2 out single.

Nice way to start a game. Pretty much everyone sans Castro with a productive AB.

Never hear the national press complain about the rickety old Fenway wall and injuries, but they can't stop with Tal's Hill.

The wall is charming. The hill is contrived.

So I hear.

Carrasco's off speed stuff isn't enticing the Astros. They apparently see it well.

Looks like Tucker has that chicken-wing thing figured out. 4-4 tonight with a HR, 2b, and two singles. And it's his B-day.

So did he pound the pud in between pitches? Or after the game?

I'm not so sure Thatcher's much good at arithmetic either.

I must say that I would kind of enjoy the Mario "1 up" noise for each run scored if, you know, I didn't signify the bad guys scoring runs.

When did New Balance start making baseball spikes?  I can't remember ever seeing them until this season, which means it couldn't have made them much before the Astros TV imbroglio.

I've been wearing NB spikes since 2010.  They're fairly new into the baseball spike game (since about 2008, I think), but they've become extremely popular in the last 5 or 6 years.
