Through two...no score.  Astros have a two out double from Marwin, but that's it.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I'm not sure a great throw would have beat the runner, but Jake's throw was about as close to taking out the third base coach as it was to landing in Stassi's mitt.

Not a good throw, but had no shot at the runner.

Altuve at 3B with nobody out on what's scored a triple, but centerfielder had it easily until the right fielder came flying in and knocked it away...

How many times has an Astros pitcher walked the number 9 hitter in recent weeks?  It's getting fucking old.

He'd just missed one last at bat, and got all of that one.

Has Matt Albers put on weight?

The camera adds 10 pounds.

Albers is FAT.

I played on a fall ball team with Albers in high school. He was slimmer...slightly. Not surprisingly, he drove a thunderbird. He might not be able to hop in through the t-top these days.

Albers is listed at 225.  Just five pounds more than Carlos Correa.  So there.

If Jake doesn't lose his footing a bit and rip up a divot in the OF, I think he makes that play. He wouldn't have had to lunge as much to get a glove on it.

There needs to be a term for a shift-fucking. Stick shift?

Sure like what we've been seeing from Liriano the last few outings.

Maybe this will get the offense going.

Giles was unavailable due to neck stiffness from sleeping wrong, Hinch said.

Wasn't that also the original explanation for Keuchel's first DL stint?
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

When asked if he had any concern long term about Giles' neck, Hinch said, "no, we just want to get him a better pillow."

Astros lead the league in sleep-related injuries.
