Astros @ Indians Saturday 5/26

[WVastro]

A stadium with a retractable roof is a very special thing to have.

[utastro]

Is this game supposed to be on Fox? My Fox on DiecTv has the Yanks and Angels. Hoping they switch to the Astros when the delay is done.

[utastro]

Nvm. There is a scroll along the bottom of the broadcast about the Astros game.

What's it say?  I had the same question, and I've got no scroll.  Delay possibly?

Edit:  Never mind, I just looked at the Cleveland radar...

I think it's officially in a delay.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Damn, the Yankees are potent.

[Aussie Astro]

What is the likelihood of play today?

Yeah basically it says we’re watching the Yanks Angels because of the weather delay

[Tom Servo]

 The scroll says the first pitch is scheduled for 8:15 ET

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

The radar shows the rains are just passing through.

[jbm]

One thing to look forward to is no Joe Buck.

Be careful what you wish for. Anybody know who the second team is?

Indians did a rain dance.

Indians did a rain dance.

Clevinger in the lead, I'm sure.  He wanted to make sure nothing special happened tonight.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

joe Davis and David Cone. Davis looks like he's about 25.

[austro]

Indians' bullpen just got worse: Andrew Miller to the DL.

[austro]

I wish that whoever replaced Marwin with this poor imitation would bring back the real guy.

[TerryPuhl21]

He watched, and continues to watch, a perfect gut pitch fastball go by on the first pitch of the at bat. That is the best pitch he will see in an at bat and he continues to watch it. As long as he does that, he will continue to suck.

Well that's trouble to start the bottom half of the 2nd.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

And a wild pitch sends encarnacion to 3rd.

And Lance didn't bother to cover home.

[austro]

This is certainly shaping up to be an ugly inning.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Runners on the corners,  E3 plates a run.

1st/2nd, no outs.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Shut the door,  Lance.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

2 flyballs and a grounder limit the damage.

Was encarnacion running on contact?

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Good replay showing Altuve bark at Lance for dropping an F bomb after the Yuli error.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

God bless jose Altuve.

[TerryPuhl21]

2 flyballs and a grounder limit the damage.

Was encarnacion running on contact?

He probably was running on contact but I don’t think it would have mattered. Pretty sure the Astros would have give up the run for the double play this early in the game.

If he was he'd have been out by a mile if Yuli fields it clean.

[TerryPuhl21]

God bless jose Altuve.

Yep......and good call by Altuve to do that.

Given the fact they LMJ can be quite emotional at times, it will be interesting to see how he comes back out the next inning. Can he put that play and getting dressed down by Altuve behind him. Hopefully so.

Leave the manager alone until after the game.

In real time the camera went close on Lance  as he grabbed the ball and angrily half-tossed it to himself.

At the time I thought that was it.

He did get 3 outs after.  And I bet a lead makes things better.

[TerryPuhl21]

Back when I was in high school in the mid ‘80’s, I had a subscription to Astrosports. Is there a team publication now that you can subscribe to?

Yes please.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

That does look like a beautiful park/night even with the delay.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Yuli rips one just foul, adjusts his aim and singles sharply to left.

Mccann moves him along with FC.

[Lefty]

I think I like David Cone in the booth.

[Aussie Astro]

Dang, Rox off to a fast start.

[TerryPuhl21]

Well that sucks.....

Tighten this up,  Lance.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

God dammit Lance. Your fielders can't field 'em if you can't keep it in the park.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Rockets had a good first quarter. Up by 17 at the end of the first.

[Tom Servo]

Damn

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Good grief.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Still nobody out.

[TerryPuhl21]

Better get someone up in the pen. Even that out was smoked!

Finally, an out.

[DVauthrin]

Need to get Peacock or McHugh ready.

[Jacksonian]

Has he thrown a good breaking ball this inning?

[Lefty]

The first one, that Encarnacion singled to right.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Finally.

Starting chipping away.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Altuve 3 for 3.

[Tom Servo]

Rockets lead almost gone

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Single,  SB, double and it's 5-3.

[TerryPuhl21]

Once again, Marwin watches a fastball go by.

Gordon must be wondering what it takes to get a foul called.

[Tom Servo]

I wonder if Yuli is barking at him?

[TerryPuhl21]

Don’t really understand why LMJ was allowed to come back out. He had clearly lost it.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

And there's that run plus another given right back.

Bye bye Lance

Chris Paul talking to the refs during breaks, helping or hurting?

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Sipp gets it done.

Ok offense. Resume chipping.

Everybody talks to the refs all the time.

Total waste of time.   The only thing that matters is what the league office told them to focus on before the game.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Enjoyed Gattis barking at Carrasco.

[Tom Servo]

KEMP!

Critical juncture at Oracle.

Peacock in.

Set 'em down,  Brad.

Correa unleashes the missile launcher on that slow grounder.

Peacock uses 9 pitches to get thru the top of the frame

Situational hitting.

WWE on hardwood.

Marwin didn't strike out.

And the top of the order will come around again at least once.

[Aussie Astro]

WWE on hardwood.

Bingo!

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Marwin flashes the leather!

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Well played by Marwin.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Rockets need to get into the bonus early.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Well Crap on both channels

Angels end up beating the Yanks 11-4

Wild start to that game.  I think those 4 yankee runs came on 3 homers.

[Lefty]

Between Lance and the Rockets, poise and composure have not been a strong suit for Houston sports tonight.

[chuck]

I don't give a fuck about the NBA and I don't care who wins this game but it is obvious that the officials are working with a certain objective and it reminds me of why I had to give up on the league. This is just unwatchable garbage. I cannot believe people spend money on this.

[Lefty]

Bingo!

Yep.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Yeah, probably time to mute the Rockets and listen to the baseball game.

[HudsonHawk]

Rockets have stomped their dicks, ripped them off, set them on fire and scattered the ashes into the wind. This game, and series was there for the taking and they fucking gagged.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Peacock faltered there.  Hopefully Rondon snuffs this out.

They don't go deep enough.

That was my approach throughout.

HH's analysis is spot on.

[chuck]

Who the fuck is Eric Gordon and why the fuck does anyone think he should be a professional basketball player?

Since I made the unfortunate decision to watch this garbage I have seen more airballs than Rockets baskets by a factor of about six.

[HudsonHawk]

Whatever the reason it’s been a monumental choke job of historic proportions.

I think I see a white flag, Joe Johnson is on the floor...  it looks like they have run out of gas to me, a seven man rotation is pretty tough to work with.

The white flag came out at halftime when they had a fucking 10 point lead. They didn’t even try after that.

[Lefty]

Ryan Anderson completely falling apart this season screwed with their plans.  Luc's not the same guy since the shoulder injury either.

Golden State has done a great job neutralizing the Capela PnR lob all series.

[Texifornia]

Two runs down going into the 8th. Should be familiar.

Definitely a disappointing/nauseating non-response when GSW made their inevitable run.

[HudsonHawk]

GS didn’t make a run until like 2 minutes ago. They were plodding along and asking for an ass whooping. The Rockets simply refused. You can argue that the league and the officials are on the take, but fuck if I don’t think the Rockets are in on the fix.

[Jacksonian]

Stasis instead of Davis of Marisnick is an interesting choice.

So these fuckers are dropping confetti after Game 6 of a 7 game series?

[chuck]

The Rockets were absolutely putrid, that is certain. The league is a joke, but Hardenball is pretty unwatchable if guys aren't draining threes all over the place. I quit watching, obviously, but it would not surprise me if they ended up with 30 turnovers.

[chuck]

Stassi could end up being the most complete catcher the organization has ever had, ever.

Golden State is a great fucking team, one of the best ever. The Rockets were on an emotional run early and anyone should have realized that would wear down and Golden State would make a run. The Rockets at least have the HCA . They fought hard all season for that and it's what it comes down to.

I didn’t see GS “making a run”. I saw the Rockets give up at halftime with a big lead.  They had no intention whatsoever of playing the second half of this game. None. Not even a little.
