T1:

Martin with a stand up triple on a 1-2 hanging change up...over Gomez's head as he takes his usual horrible route to the ball
Smith strikes out looking
Cano...career .500 hitter against LMJ...strikes out swinging on a ball in the dirt...Castro to 1B to complete the strikeout, Martin inexplicably tries to score, and jogs into the 3-1 double plat at the plate.  Strange.

No score.

Astros turn the ol' 2-3-1 double play to get out of a first inning jam. That was a special kind of stupid.

Servais came out to argue that McCullers was blocking the plate without the ball.

B1:

Springer doubles off the LCF wall...close play at 2B, but gets in there
Marwin singles to LF, Springer to 3B
Altuve...667 hitter against Miley...scalds a line drive that almost knocks the SS over, but is caught for an out
Correa walks, Marwin to 2B
Valbuena sac fly F8 to deep CF, Springer scores, Marwin to 3B
Gomez lines out to LF on the first pitch

Balls blistered all over the yard and the Astros grab a 1-0 lead.

He was just commenting about your cleanup hitter working the count with a runner on 3B and less than 2 out.  Correa took a strike and several other close pitches.  His point was that Correa is up there to drive that run in.  Not suggesting that Correa should would flailing wildly, but Ashby was not necessarily off point either.

I understand what you're saying, but guess I'm just so damn sick of hearing it every time he comes to the plate.  Plus, I think if Correa swings at a ball off the plate and pops up, I'm sure there would be comments about that as well.

Understood.  And I'm no Ashby apologist.  But lack of situational aggressiveness is not an unfair criticism of Correa.

The sound of the crack of the bat when Springer squares up to one is one of the loudest I can remember, although I'm sure stadium broadcasting acoustics have improved.

Cano singles to CF on the first pitch
Cruz...3-0...walks on four pitches, none of them within two feet of the plate.  Cano to 2B
Seager singles to LF, Cano to 3B, Cruz to 2B
Lee grounds into 1-2-3 double play, Cano out at the plate, Cruz to 3B, Seager to 2B
Lind flies out F7

What a job by McCullers...

Some of McCullers' sliders were devastating. Some of them were spinners in the middle of the plate, too, but when he unleashes a good one, it's unhittable.

I'd sure like to have a 2-run lead when Cano comes up next inning.

Colby took a cookie on 3-0 then swung at ball four.  Ouch.

I was ok with the take on the 3-0 pitch, but swinging at that 3-1 pitch did the M's a real favor.

With the bases loaded and a lead in the 8th like that, I think your approach should be the same 3-0 and 3-1.  If you get your pitch 3-0, I'm ok with taking a whack at it.  But you should be just as selective 3-1.

Nice way to break the mini skid.

Why do some fans leave before the last out?  Like leaving a movie before the final scene.

Nice crisp holiday game...2 1/2 hours, and the 9th took 30 minutes.  Good baseball game.

God damnit, I hope so. Maybe it's just old age, but I really like peace in the valley, especially when it comes to two men for whom I have considerable respect. Ten years ago, not so much on the peace side. But that was then and this is now.

Me too. I'm reminded of Hank Williams' song that he recorded under the alias Luke the Drifter called I've Been Down That Road Before, where a former pain-in-the-ass takes up peace and quiet and encourages all others similarly situated to give it a try. You all personally witnessed my melt down about ten years ago at this time. It was a very hard fall, but life is so much better now that I lived to come through the other side. And I've been able to help some people here too who wrested with similar demons. That, and the fact that this website has become part of me, keeps me coming back, living life one day at a time. I love life today. Ten years ago, I didn't.
