I stared at the MLB app for a few seconds wondering if the Astros 0 runs and 2 hits and D’Backs 0 hits and 1 run could be correct. The possibilities leading to that result were fairly clear, but I preferred not to believe them.

Make sure you hand is in the right position. Use the boney part of your index finger, not the fleshy part....sort of roll your finger. Hold the head of the guitar up, less horizontal. And yes, practice.

Since the CB strike on the 3rd pitch of the game, Morton missed with his next 7 CB’s then gave up the HR on the last. Just not working tonight.

Springer should have been tagging on that ball. If the CF catches it he can advance, if he misses it, there's no chance on earth that the get him. He would have scored on the Gurriel ground ball if he had advanced.

Disagree with runner behind him. If he's standing on 2B, waiting, that ball comes off the wall and he probably scores, but maybe not. Either way, no way Altuve could have scored, might have not made 3B. You anticipate that ball gets down and be ready to run.

Boxberger in for the DBacks

Altuve...down 0-2 trying to bunt his way on...grounds out 6-3...makes it close, but just nipped at the bag
Correa...3-0...takes a strike at the ankles...late on a 91 mph fat pitch down the middle...punches out at a pitch in his eyes
Gurriel...0-2...grounds out 6-3

Shit

3-3

Didn't score in the 9th...now gotta get at least two more innings from the pen.

DBacks with the winning run on, nobody out...

Can't imagine Dyson won't take 2B here...

Nice bunt.

4 feet to the right of Altuve's foul attempt.

It's possible the Astros will throw out their first runner of the year here. Nahhhhh...

Whoa. He may be out.

McCann's thrown out 2

I don’t like that application of the replay, but I would have been cool with calling Dyson out in that instance.

Gutsy play by Devo!

Cojones on Devo!

austro · « **Reply #110 on:** May 05, 2018, 10:33:14 pm »

Fuck. Double play out of the equation now.

Thank you, 3BU.

I got vertigo on that replay.

Anybody get a good look at the check swing?

It was close.

I sure hope he gets Owings, because I don't want Goldschmidt coming up with men on base.

So much for my hopes.

hostros7 · « **Reply #115 on:** May 05, 2018, 10:38:52 pm »

Not particularly excited to see Goldschmidt in this situation.

Devo is getting squeezed a bit on the margins.

Yes. Ball 3 earns a trip to first. Up to Peacock now.

B9:

Devo in...Stassi in to catch...

Mathis bunts for a single
Dyson pinch runs for Mathis...can't imagine he wont' take 2B
Throw over to 1B, ruled safe, but Hinch challenging...looks like his hand might have come off the bag...upheld
Marrero bunts...Devo with a nice play getting over to it and getting Dyson at 2B...Marerro to 1B on the FC
Marrero takes 2B with no throw
Peralta...0-2...1-2...2-2...full count...strikes out swinging on a check swing...tried to check, but called out by 3B ump...Peralta pissed...someone gets tossed, I think
Owings, pinch hitting for Boxberger...full count...walks
Goldschmidt takes a couple of strikes to make it 3-1...ump still blowing chunks...full count...runners will be on the move so no chance for a play at the plate...walks...Marerro to 3B, Owings to 2B

That's all for Devo...Peacock in...

Pollock singles to LF on the first pitch, Marrero scores

DBacks win it 4-3

This team has more issues than National Geographic.
