I don't think he's seeing the ball very well. Maybe that will get better as he gets more home games under his belt.

I thought that was his problem in the first inning. Didn't get a good jump because he lost it or something. Very costly non-catch and, yes, I think Marisnick would have caught it.

Kevin Kiermaier got the "charlie hustle" award for running his ass off to first on walk.

He was terrible in the first with no offspeed pitch at all but pretty good thereafter.

My laptop just ran out of battery, so I lost my inning summary.

Jaso knocks in a run with a single to LF. Rays 6-2.

Excuse me, Mr. Police Officer Security Guard Guy in a uniform Sir, I just need to go down to the Astros' dugout and tell them to QUIT FUCKIN' AROUND!!!

Nice job by Fields. Apparently Sphinx got his message across.

"Hard to imagine how an arm like that gets through the Rule 5 draft" says the announcer for the team that lost Johan Santana via Rule 5. SHUT THE FUCK UP, ASHBY.

Joe West said, "sorry Mr. Gattis, I'm the worst umpire in MLB, other than my soul mate Angel, and that's the way I called it. " The humility was actually kind of pathetic.

I always liked Jim Hickey. He is a damn good pitching coach. I'm a Brent Strom fan too, of course.

I think Castro is a fine catcher. His pitch framing skills are outstanding.

juliogotay · « **Reply #50 on:** August 17, 2015, 09:49:21 pm »

I have no issues with Castro. He is a good catcher and usually hits 9th. When the guys batting in front of him are doing their jobs no one bitches about him. It was just a couple of years ago this team was so bad he was hitting 4th.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #51 on:** August 17, 2015, 09:50:10 pm »

If Valbuena is gonna play 1B, he's got to learn to come get that ball or go cover 1B. He can't just stand there in the way.

Hopefully they are getting a lot of shit out of their system tonight. Losing to the team that just got swept by Arlington.
Astros need to win the next 3 with Dodgers coming in.

The end of August ain't the time to be "getting it out of your system". You need to be clicking this time of year, not shaking off the cobwebs.
