I'm resigned to idea that Springer will always have these periods where he swings out of his shoes. They're less frequent nowadays, but still around. But he'll soon have an AB where he shoots one oppo and his slump will end.

Agree HH, especially with the amount of fly balls that it seems like Giles gives up, you would think you would want that runner at third with less than two.

McCann...who left his blood in the camera well...singles through the shift!
Fisher in to pinch run for McCann
Fisher caught stealing 2-6...didn't get much of a jump...Hinch challenging...replay looks safe, but don't know if there's enough to overturn...overturned! Winning run in scoring position...credit Fisher with a stolen base
Marisnick...works the count full...lines out to LCF...no chance for Fisher to tag...hit it hard, but right at 'em
Springer takes a fat pitch right down the middle for strike one...1-1...2-1...3-1...hammers one down the LF line...about three inches foul...full count...strikes out swinging at ball four

Erlin out, Maton in...

Bregman...quickly down 0-2...1-2...2-2...works the count full...pops up over the mound...everyone converges, but no body catches it as it lands about 15 feet in front of the plate...Fisher comes around and scores, on what I assume whill be an E3

Astros Win!!

looked like a lob wedge straight up in the air. Pitcher and catcher, we're not getting it. Hosmer, oh shit I better bust it in. Oops, I over ran it. Ah that's unfortunate.

I love how Bregman mentions McCann going over the wall in the post game interview.

Bregman credited with a single and an RBI...why, I have no idea. But no matter the home town scoring...walkoff win!!

Sorry Julia, Alex is not the hero, Eric Hosmer is the goat or maybe their catcher should have had that popup.

That's Hosmer's ball. He overran it by about 6 feet. But it's his ball.

I was trying to explain to my wife how bad that was, and that was the best way to explain it. Like that one hilarious play from that year.

True dat, but I would at least like my catcher to get into position to make that catch and have Hosmer call him off.

No one could be in position to save Hosmer there.

Ellis didn't want to leave the plate uncovered, as Fisher the winning run was coming around 3B...that's Hosmer's ball. He just misplayed it.

Yep, It was just hilarious that he realized it way to late and completely overran the play. I wonder how much of a kangaroo fine that will be? I'm assuming most teams have kangaroo courts still.

The way the previous 18 innings had gone, we really needed that. Weird win, but a win nonetheless. Cole's a beast. The bats will wake up. It's all good.

Also, good things continue to happen with Bregman up and Fisher on second. There is some magic in that combination.

hostros7 · « **Reply #126 on:** April 08, 2018, 07:44:40 am »

Thanks for the PBP. Not going to lie: I’m pretty happy to have spent 15 minutes reading the thread instead of 3 hours watching this one thanks to an out of town wedding.

The MLB app push notification I received during the reception that said the Astros won when Bregman singled home Fisher conjured up images of the WS in my mind. It turns out this was different... very different. Oh well, a win is a win, particularly when it’s not a second straight loss to MFing Friars.

Hosmer: Just overran it. I put my head down trying to make up some ground. By the time I looked up, it was past me. It's on me.

Ellis: It was in that no-man's land. In hindsight, I should have more aggressively went for it and gave us another option out there. I put Hos in a bad position having to run full speed. Definitely something I should have went for, been out there in the mix. No excuse.

One run in the last 14 innings.

Hinch:
I love the way that he thinks through the game and also executes the game plan. If he doesn't like a pitch, he stepped off a couple of times. He's just a very, very impressive, high-end starting pitcher. That makes us feel good when he gets the ball. We feel completely in control of the game.

Yeah, I'm not sure what they're thinking there.

It's very telling that the Astros are bringing in Devo to close out Giles' mess.

No, no, no. He brought in Devo to pitch to the LH hitter. I suspect that was the plan before the inning started.

BudGirl · « **Reply #130 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:18:48 pm »

I'm thinking I need a Cole jersey. I really liked his pitching. He seems like a great pick-up. In Luhnow I trust.
