Great play by Correa!

We are all so fortunate that Ashby wasn't in the booth when Julia presented a meat cone to the audience.

Tough luck for Castro there. He hit that ball hard.

Yeah, he certainly doesn't look like a 5+ ERA guy.

That throw from Springer went to 11.

One of the best plays of the year, but I have a short memory.

Agreed. He's a sharp, informative, articulate guy. I always enjoy him on the radio, but I usually watch on TV so appreciate him more in this context.

Man, Springer was so close to his second assist there.

A step off snap throw to first is not an "A move" nor should you ever fucking get picked off on one. All you have to do is focus on the back foot.

Altuve has more multi-hit games than hitless games. He's a great little man.

Crane should keep Ford/Blum in the lineup until they lose again.

Not that exact quote, but he did drop an s-bomb on air. He kind of clipped the end and played it off.

Also, you're all bastards for taking away my Bob Ford. Put him back on the radio where he belongs.

BudGirl · « **Reply #55 on:** June 15, 2016, 09:24:29 pm »

Even the post-game is better without Ashby. Seriously, this should be so obvious to the Astros that this is a good thing right now.

But I do agree, Ford is great on the radio too.

toddthebod · « **Reply #56 on:** June 15, 2016, 10:34:34 pm »

Tonight's win felt a lot like last year. Good starting pitching and clutch hitting at the end of the game.

Yeah, he certainly doesn't look like a 5+ ERA guy.

I saw him get torched twice earlier this year. His layoff had cost him command. His velocity was good and his secondary pitches were there-it was his fastball command that he didn't have.

I don't want Ashby to have health issues. I want him to be told that the "club wants to go in a different direction."

juliogotay · « **Reply #64 on:** June 16, 2016, 01:10:51 pm »

The Astros played two almost perfect games in StL. I really liked seeing them go opposite field last night several times, particularly late in the game. Even Gomez went opposite field for a hit. Beautiful.
