I haven't been able to keep tabs on the GZ much this season, but I see that Mr. Happy hasn't started any of the threads. Is he OK?

Nice K of NJC

Texifornia · « **Reply #2 on:** May 13, 2018, 01:42:44 pm »

Keuchel struggles a little in the first but gets out of a two-hit jam with no damage. In the second he gets a K on Not Joey Callo, a fly out and another K. He seems to be settling in.

0-0 going to the bottom of the 2nd.

Now, for some runs:

Reuben · « **Reply #3 on:** May 13, 2018, 01:52:06 pm »

Fuck. This feels like one of those days for the offense, against a shit pitcher.

Texifornia · « **Reply #4 on:** May 13, 2018, 01:52:37 pm »

Altuve leaves two on. He has struck out twice on six total pitches.

0-0 after 2 innings.

Happy mother’s day to all the moms out there. I hope the Astros provide you with a win for the occasion.

And is 0-fer this series so far.

Altuve looks terrible. I assume it is his typical episode of pressing, but damn he looks bad. Moore didn't even respect him. He is not alone though, you could go games last year seeing fewer fastball whiffs than they've had through two innings.

Thank heaven for Yuli.

astrojo · « **Reply #9 on:** May 13, 2018, 02:11:36 pm »

Gattis again! 3-0 Astros

Captain caveman is starting to thaw out

That is such a welcome sight. That's how they used to punish meat.

astrojo · « **Reply #12 on:** May 13, 2018, 02:13:07 pm »

Also Mariners Cano left their game today with fractured fifth metacarpal in right hand.

astrojo · « **Reply #13 on:** May 13, 2018, 02:15:23 pm »

Now back to back singles by stassi and fisher to put runners on the corners for jake. And another K for Marisnick.

JimR · « **Reply #14 on:** May 13, 2018, 02:16:43 pm »

Welcome back, Evan Gattis.

Reuben · « **Reply #15 on:** May 13, 2018, 02:23:32 pm »

My wife pointed out earlier that Profar looks like Marlo from The Wire.

jbm · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 2018, 02:27:03 pm »

I wonder if they all get new gloves every year. If I won it all, my glove would have to die before it retires.

Welcome back, Evan Gattis.

Yes. Make yourself at home, big man.

astrojo · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2018, 02:48:30 pm »

Nice running grab by Fisher in right.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:06:24 pm »

Worth noting that Keuchel has looked like Keuchel in his last 3 starts.

Reuben · « **Reply #20 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:13:42 pm »

Correa got 100% of that one.

jbm · « **Reply #21 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:13:54 pm »

He turned on that one

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #22 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:14:11 pm »

This Correa kid may turn out to be decent.

astrojo · « **Reply #23 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:15:46 pm »

2 run hr by Correa makes it 5-0. And Yuli reaches 2nd base on a error by Choo

astrojo · « **Reply #24 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:27:41 pm »

Wow, mental lapse by beltre loads the bases w one out. Jepsen out.

jbm · « **Reply #25 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:30:29 pm »

I see they replace Beltre defensively. You can tell he's ailing, just not moving like he normally does.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #26 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:33:47 pm »

Nice insurance runs.

Beltre tweaked a hammy.

astrojo · « **Reply #27 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:35:57 pm »

Ugly, but effective, catch by fisher.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #28 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:37:44 pm »

That slider caught too much plate.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #29 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:40:22 pm »

Those first 2 sliders after 0-2 were nice. And the 3rd one on 3-2was too good to lay off.

jbm · « **Reply #30 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:40:45 pm »

Five straight fastballs to DDJ, then a 3-2 slider. It's a tough life.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #31 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:42:46 pm »

Sipp coming in after back to back singles.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #32 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:46:34 pm »

Boom. Sipp got his man.

Btw Cano fractured his hand on a hbp today.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #33 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:50:12 pm »

Altuve 0 for 13 in the series.

JimR · « **Reply #34 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:51:04 pm »

Altuve has lost 40 points on his BA.

astrojo · « **Reply #35 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:53:04 pm »

Correa just under that one - barely missed his 2nd hr of the game

Altuve just missed driving his as well.

And now Yuli.

Let's put this one to bed.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #37 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:59:06 pm »

That rookie debut pitcher was a 16 year vet of independent/ minor league.

Cool story.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #38 on:** May 13, 2018, 04:04:34 pm »

Peacock strikes out the side.

Astros give up 2 solo HR and an rbi sac fly. For the series.

Fantastic pitching.

Giving them to Gattis was mighty generous.
