Conger with a single to RF
Singleton pops up F6
Marisnick...fouls a pitch off his nuts...then doubles down the LF line...Conger to 3B
Altuve with a slow roller to 3B...infield single, Conger scores, Marisnick to 3B
Altuve takes off for 2B...but stops just short of the bag...he's now caught in a pickle...Marisnick has no choice but to try to score...but it's 2-6-2-5 caught stealing on Marisnick. Not sure I understood that...Altuve had the bag.

Doesn't make sense to me. I can understand a straight steal for Altuve, since that gives Tucker two ducks. But double-steal is just a bit too cute.

Agreed. If you're gonna go on the first pitch, it's to try to outright take a bag to get another RISP. The stopping didn't make sense, especially since the throw was terrible and he had the base easily.

Tucker leads off with a HR (solo variety after Altuve ran them out of the 5th)

Gattis flies out F8
Valbuena grounds out 4-3, Correa to 2B. Not sure why the didn't try to get two there, as Correa had to hold to let the ball pass

Daniels fully concedes that this deal is for the future. He thinks Hamels coupled with the returning Darvish will put the Rangers back in contention mode. He could be right of course but I think they still have alot of other holes with catcher (Alfaro) being one.
I think this deal makes the Kazmir deal look even better and good for Luhnow for getting out there early and getting it done before the price went up more.

Astros with the bases juiced and one out...

Conger just missed, SF scores Gattis.

Singleton up the middle to plate Valbuena, now 6-1.

Sac fly by Conger and RBI single by Singleton make it 6-1

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #100 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:46:38 pm »

B8:

Lefty Alvarez on the bump...

Correa grounds out 6-3
Gattis with an infield single to SS
Valbuena singles with a flair to LCF
Rasmus works the count full...walks to load the bases
Conger with a sac fly, F7, Gattis scores
Singleton singles up the middle...Valbuena scores, Rasmus to 3B
Marisnick strikes out swinging

But the Astros tack on another pair...headed to the 9th...Astros lead 6-1

I guess Gregerson needs the work.

Man, if Conger lets that ball travel just a little more and it's a granny.

He just pulled off of it a little...but got a good pitch and was able to lift it enough for the sac fly

Wilmer Flores has been informed he is in the deal, but not pulled from the game, and is crying on the field.

There's the Terry Collins I knew and loathed:

@JeffPassan: In one tweet: Hamels ($76M), Diekman, cash to Rangers. Alfaro, N. Williams, J. Thompson, M. Harrison ($28M), Eickhoff, Asher to Phillies.

Pujols to the Crawford Boxes. God I hate him.

The smirking one gets to stare down his dinger that makes it only a four run lead.

Fucking Pujols. I don't know which I want more: the Astros to win the division, or the Angels to lose it.

He looked devastated.

Things not going well.

juliogotay · « **Reply #113 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:54:32 pm »

Now this is getting a little serious.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #114 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:54:48 pm »

HR and two consecutive infield singles puts the tying run on deck with nobody out.

MikeyBoy · « **Reply #115 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:54:55 pm »

Fuck. Valbuena had that play.

austro · « **Reply #116 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:54:56 pm »

This is going to suck if we have to get somebody up to relieve Gregerson.

NeilT · « **Reply #117 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:58:06 pm »

I hope that looked as scary on TV as it looked in person.

MikeyBoy · « **Reply #118 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:59:22 pm »

I don't think Gregorson is going to win a Gold Glove anytime soon.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #119 on:** July 29, 2015, 09:59:43 pm »

6-3 now...tying run at the plate with 2 out.

It's still looking scary on my TV. Am I that far behind?

T9:

Gregerson on the hill in a non-save situation

Pujols homers to LF...stands and admires his prodigious 350 drive while trailing by five runs
Murphy with an infield single as the shift fucks the Astros for the 1,276,465th time this season
Aybar with a bunt single..Murphy to 2B
Cron goes down on strikes
Gillaspie hits a perfect double play comebacker to Gregerson, who promptly drops it...he goes to 2B to get Aybar, but no chance at two...Murphy to 3B
Giavotella singles to CF...Murphy scores, Gillaspie to 2B
Perez, who represents the tying run...flies out F7...

And the Astros get the win 6-3...take the lead in the division.

Past years, I would have been real worried; this year, I was just annoyed it was taking so long.

That was a quality win tonight beating Richards.

subnuclear · « **Reply #129 on:** July 29, 2015, 10:15:35 pm »

They interviewed Altuve on ESPN, but didn't ask him about the double steal or whatever it was. He thinks the team is playing hard and having fun if you were wondering.

BudGirl · « **Reply #130 on:** July 30, 2015, 08:21:46 am »

Sphinx thinks the team is high-flying.
