That was a big strikeout for Lance.

None of these banjos have hit a ball out of the infield, the strike zone is 9 times the regular size, and McCullers can't throw a fucking strike

I assume that was included in what Crane paid extra. My company pays the taxes on little extras for me, and it includes the "tax on the tax".

Bregman takes a cookie down the middle for strike three
Altuve with a Texas Leaguer to RF, Springer read it well and goes 1B to 3B
Correa...takes strike one which is literally three ball widths off the plate...0-2...hits one off his ankles to CF...sac fly as Springer scores
Reddick...3-0...walks on four pitches, Altuve to 2B

McHugh a bright spot in this otherwise dank effort.

It's really interesting to have a bullpen where (at least) three different guys can go 2-3 innings. It really changes the way you think about attacking the game.

I'm running out of hope for this game.

B8:

Yates in for the Padres...2,3,4 due up for the Astros...time to make something happen!

Bregman flies out to shallow CF
Altuve strikes out looking
Correa strikes out swinging

3-1 Padres

Let's hope they're getting all of the suck out of their system tonight.

Due for a loss. Win 5, lose I. I am ok with that.

Yeah, it's hard to be real upset. But I'm not liking Giles's performances so far this year.

I didn't think it was physically possible but this game sucks AND blows.

T9:

Giles in for the Astros

Margot grounds out 4-3
Pirela grounds out 6-3
Hosmer lines one up the middle, and Springer lollygags it into a double
Villanueva doubles down the LF line, Hosmer scores...another 2-strike hit
Renfroe grounds up the middles...Altuve dives and stops it, throws from his knees, but can't nip the runner as Marwin is off the bag...Villanueva to 3B
Asuaje grounds out 4-3

4-1 Padres

I am too. Tonight is one of those games where everything just seems out of whack. It happens.

Hand blew up yesterday. Hope it carries over.

Tell us how you really feel, Reddick.

TerryPuhl21 · « **Reply #112 on:** April 06, 2018, 10:16:33 pm »

Am I the only one sick of Giles? I just have zero confidence in him. If we don’t have a 2 run lead, you can’t bring him in.

I wouldn't say I'm sick of him, but I don't have a lot of confidence in him, either.

B9:

Hand in for the Padres...

Reddick...quickly down 0-2...strikes out swinging...yells "FUCK!"
Marwin...full count...walks
Gattis flies out F9 on the first pitch
Stassi, pinch hitting for McCann...quickly down 0-2...strikes out swinging

Astros go down, as the Padres pick up their second win on the season...4-1

Well, that's a pretty disappointing showing. I expect more for my birthday tomorrow.

You'd think 4 runs is surmountable with this lineup. They really miss Yuli.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #121 on:** April 06, 2018, 10:28:49 pm »

Well, I had the bottom of the 9th all typed up, but it’s storming like a motherfucker and my satellite internet went out just as Stassi struck out hot end the game. Suffice it to say the Astros did not mount a comeback.

Gotta wipe this one off the books and go get ‘em tomorrow.

Yes Ty, they do. Hopefully it isn’t much longer.
