whoa, White in front of Rasmus? Trying to add protection for White or baserunners for Rasmus? Probably just due to Hamels being a lefty but still interesting

Rasmus has taken Hamels deep. Gattis twice has.

T1:

Altuve hit by pitch
Springer...full count...hit by pitch
Correa...2-0...swings at a ball in the dirt...2-1...swings at a ball in the dirt 2-2...swings and miss.. at a ball at his ankles...sees five pitches, none of them strikes, but punches out
White strikes out looking, double steal, Springer thrown out 2-4

Gattis singles up the middle, Rasmus to 2B
Gomez bunt single, Rasmus to 3B, Gattis to 2B
Marwin...2-0...swings and misses at a ball 4 feet off the plate...2-1...3-1...flies out F9...Rasmus holds, but Gomez does not...Gomez in a pickle...Rasmus now has no choice...takes off for home and is 9-2-4-2, Gattis moves to 3B and Gomez to 2B
Castro with a slow roller to 3B out 5-3

Incredible....three hits, no runs and one really, really, really, really, really, really stupid baserunning move.

When Luis Valbuena is your best pinch hitting option, you're in world of shit.

Big world, deep shit.

Valbuena turns the lineup over with a seeing eye single...tying run on base

C'mon Altuve! (I fully expect Valbuena to be picked off)

Still think the strikezone is horseshit.

Rub some dirt on it. Plenty of season left. Go get em tomorrow. Fuck.

T9:

Tolleson in...

Gomez grounds out 3-1
Tucker, pinch hitting for Marwin...pops out F6
Valbuena, pinch hitting for Castro...singles past the shift to LF
Marisnick in to pinch run for Valbuena
Altuve flies out F9

Game over

Astros gag on their own dicks...again.

Son of a bitch, I hate the Rangers.

At least it's Keuchel tomorrow.

Pitching was great tonight. That wasn't the problem. You're not going to win many games making so many mistakes, losing a whole inning being slapdicks on the bases, and going 1 for 12 w/RISP (the one being a bunt single) and 21 LOB.

Maybe I'm the problem. Have they won when I was doing it?

Great pitching, but a complete shitshow of an offense. The base running and mental errors are even worse.

73-77 since last May 5th.

Well, technically they used their best pinch-hitter earlier when Tucker came up. (Actually, they used their *best* pinch-hitter when they started Gonzalez at 3B.) But your point is still valid.
