Royals grab a 1-0 lead on a monster HR by Perez. 

Has Fiers thrown a pitch below the belt?  Cause 88 mph at the letters is a recipe for disaster.

I don't even remember Trevor Crowe on the Astros. Must of been one of those non-TV years.  See he batted third at least one game and had a 578 OPS that year.  Must have been a potent lineup.

Fiers out, Sipp in. 

Fiers was a little shaky early, but turned it around and pitched very well.  Deserves better than being on the hook

T7:

Sipp in for the Astros

Mondesi with a swinging bunt single
Mondesi steals 2B as the throw hits him in the head
Mondesi steals 3B
Gordon walks
Moustakas check swing roller to 3B, Bregman comes home, Mondesi out 5-2, Gordon to 2B.  Excellent play by Gattis on a bad throw.

That's it for Sipp, Gustvave in

Cain with a roller up the middle, Altuve whiffs at it, E4, Gordon to 3B, Moustakas to 2B...now inexplicably scored a base hit
Hosmer grounds into 6U-3 double play

At the stretch...2-0 Royals

Last year Bregman looked like the second coming of Brooks Robinson. Now every time he has a chance I find myself wondering what sort of misplay is going to happen.

I went fishing this evening, and I haven't followed the game.  Looks like me and Altuve are doing equally well though.

B7:

Correa singles to RF
Beltran doubles to RCF, Correa scores

Vargas out, Moylan in

Gattis...0-2...strikes out swinging
Reddick...3-2...strikes out swinging
Marwin, pinch hitting for Gurriel, walks

Moylan out, Wood in

Aoki flies out F7 on the first pitch

Astros get a run, but the middle of the order is still shit.

2-1 Royals

Is this the official scorer's first game? He clearly has no idea of the difference between a hit and an error.

Gustave has great stuff, but he does not handle adversity well at all. The Astros don't look like world beaters.

T8:

Perez with a Texas Leaguer to LF
Moss walks, Perez to 2B
Orlando flies out F9
Escobar taps back to the mound and Gustave kicks it...E1, Perez to 3B, Moss to 2B...now a ridiculous scoring of a hit
Fastball bounces out of Gattis's glove, passed ball as Perez scores, Moss to 3B, Escobar to 2B
Mondesi...infield in...pops out F4
Gordon lines the first pitch over Aoki's head in LF for a double, Moss scores, Escobar scores
Moustakas strikes out swinging

Royals pick up three runs, one unearned, now lead 5-1

B8:

Soria in for the Royals

Springer hammers one to the RCF wall, Cain leaps up and robs a sure double off the top of the wall
Bregman...3-0...3-1...walks
Altuve hammers a line drive, off the pitchers glove, right to the second baseman for the 1-4-3 double play.

5-1 Royals

Very first ball that Altuve has hit solidly turns into a double-play. Suck.

Good defense can really make things happen.  Stros should take note.

Cain walks on four pitches
Hosmer lines out to CF
Perez...works the count full...flies out F8 at the track
Cain steals 2B
Moss strikes out swinging

We head to the bottom of the 9th... Astros down four

If he didn't have a stroke, fall into the water, get run over by speedboat and then get eaten by an alligator... he's doing better than Altuve.

Maybe it's a secret Boras plan to run up his value by reminding the club what it would be like to be without Altuve.

He's pitching a helluva game, that's why.


I could see how my post seemed too sarcastic. Apologies, that wasn't intentional. I just had no sense of the game due to work. I was taking every free moment to flip between the box score and the GZ. I got the sense Fiers was doing his Houdini thing. It's good to hear he pitched well! That will likely be a big deal after hearing about McHugh...

I didn't think you were being sarcastic. I was sImply answering your question. Fires pitched really well. I'm not sure why you were thinking otherwise. Last night was not on him.
