Just following on gameday, but gotta like McCullers striking out two in a row after giving up the 1-out double (and striking out the side).

Wow, hot corner indeed! Nice play by Valbuena for the final out of the 2nd inning.

Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Both pitchers are very sharp through 2.

It may be selective memory, but the Astros never seem to fare well against the Asian import pitchers.

If McCullers ever starts to command these pitches, he'll be extremely hard to beat. But right now he simply throws too many balls too far out of the zone.

I thought he jumped and landed before the ball hit the wall behind him, lucky not to get it in the head?

I've never tried to drag a 100mph fastball but I can't imagine it works very often with 2 strikes.

I got to let Altuve hit away there.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Don't understand the sacrifice with a man on second.. Marwin out at third but fiddles around long enough for Altuve to make it to second...
Altuve steals third.

Altuve atones for a shoddy bunt back to the pitcher by just deciding to steal his way to 3rd with less than one out. Correa whiffs on a 3-1 cement mixer

Even a paramecium could make that call.

Valbuena has to swing 1-1 because the ump fucked him completely on he second pitch.

Could have managed the ninth better. Blue should have done better.

Valbuena strikes out after seeing exactly one pitch in the strike zone. Fuck you, ump.

Is anyone going to mention  Correa's AB?

I hear you Jim, but with that umpires strike zone, I'm hesitant to question anyone's at bat.

From the look on Hinch's face after the bunt I got the impression that was Altuve's decision. Correa's ab in the ninth wasn't pretty... Can't win 'em all.

Altuve said post game he bunted on his own and should have swung away.

HInch confirmed it was Altuve's decision. He protected his player but he wasn't happy about it.

As evidenced by his explanation of "I forgot I was hitting third", as if that affects it. You're the best contact hitter in baseball. Swing away.

Seriously. He's got plenty of bat control to go to the right side, and it might go through. That was a disappointing decision.
