Back to reality tonight with Manaea going for Oakland.

And 2 wild pitches fron Lance lead to a run.

Bregman hr to right! Tied 1-1

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #2 on:** May 08, 2018, 09:29:59 pm »

Bregman goes deep in right center to tie it!

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #3 on:** May 08, 2018, 09:30:37 pm »

Love that Bregman looks to drive the ball that way

Springe gets a hit then gets caught stealing.

Altuve may not mind a reset on that AB.

Lance looks less than trustworthy tonight.

He’s a mess.

I hope Springer didn't tweak his back on that play, but he looks a little uncomfortable right now.

Yep.

What a catch by Springer.

And a nice 4-6-3.

Oh, fuck, McCullers bleached his hair. No wonder the BBGs are fucking him over.

austro · « **Reply #11 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:13:05 pm »

oh, come on, jose. what was that?

astrojo · « **Reply #12 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:13:25 pm »

The runner was out, no? Looked like Yuli came down on the bag before the runner got there.

I thought so live but he did not protest at all. Most have just missed it.

Luckily 6-4-3 took care of it.

I heard once that blondes have more fun, maybe he is testing that theory?

Springer still hot, knocks in 2 2out rbi

Texifornia · « **Reply #18 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:23:54 pm »

Springer es enfuego!

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:24:04 pm »

Jake to the wall in left!

And McCann slowly chugs slowly into third.

Then Springer to the wall plates McCann and Jake!!!

astrojo · « **Reply #20 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:25:23 pm »

I thought Altuve had a hit there, nice grab by Piscotty

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #21 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:25:35 pm »

Damn.

Altuve almost got that one past the right fielder.

Nice play by marwin to erase the leadoff double

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #23 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:31:12 pm »

Wow. Lead runner out 7-5.

Use it, Lance.

That replay from over Marwin's shoulder showed just how sweet it was.

They hate this wall!

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #26 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:44:46 pm »

Dang, I was sure Yuli's shot was going out.

astrojo · « **Reply #27 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:47:41 pm »

All hail the king! Another 2out Rbi

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #28 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:47:46 pm »

Big 2-out rbi single by Marwin.

I thought so too.

And now Manaea is leaving, which is definitely good news.

austro · « **Reply #30 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:51:43 pm »

Gattis has hit a couple balls hard tonight. Maybe that's a precursor of better things to come.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #31 on:** May 08, 2018, 10:52:25 pm »

I may have orange colored glasses on, but Gattis has had 2 decent ABs tonight.

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #32 on:** May 08, 2018, 11:50:01 pm »

Well that was a let down, left the bases loaded in the 9th.

Giles get the save. 4-2 Astros.

Nice to get the DP to end it after giving up the single.

Double plays saved our bacon.

Correa's throw on the 4-6-3 was 86 mph.

The defense was fantastic last night. Definitely the difference maker in the game (at least the first five innings. I went to bed after that).

Conversely, the A's bring new meaning to "bad defense". I guess they expect Semien to figure it out, eventually.
