Keep the line moving!

Go away, Mitch Haniger!
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

T1:

Haniger singles to CF on the first pitch.  Imagine that.
Segura doubles to LF, Haniger to 3B
Cano singles to LF, Haniger scores, Segura to 3B...Reddick was there coming in on the looping liner, but it hit his wrist
Cruz...infield back...0-2...1-2...strikes out swinging
Healy...3-0...walks, Cano to 2B
Wild pitch...Segura scores, Cano to 3B, Healy to 2B...right through Maldonado's legs
Seager...infield in...3-0...3-1...3-2...lines one off of Keuchel and it ricochets all the way into RF...Cano scores, Healy to 3B....looks like it hit him in the head...trainers out...gonna stay in the game
Zunino strikes out swinging
Heredia flies out F9

3-0 Mariners

What is this umpire's deal? He won't call a strike for Keuchel, and now all of a sudden the zone just got huge for Springer.

Some bad luck that inning.  Haniger with kind of a shiftfuck single, Segura with a seeing eye bouncer over the 3B bag, Cano's looping liner that Reddick got an arm on...the only ball struck well was the liner off of Keuchel.

They were swinging early, sometimes good things happen when you swing the fucking bat.

He probably just sucks.

He gifted Dallas a strike 3 inches off the plate.

Maybe we can just go ahead and start with the 2nd inning.

The hard hit ball came when he couldn't afford it.

Segura’s was a screaming line drive past Bregman. It did not bounce.

Dick stepping from an unlikely source.

Fucking stupid not to pursue the tag with 2 outs.

Meanwhile Dallas responds in predictable fashion.

Maldonado has given them two runs tonight.

The weird thing is his turning around.

Sleepwalking game. Poor pitching. Poor hitting. Poor defense.

He thought he tagged him. He did not.

If he thought he tagged him then no need to look to third. He either forgot how many outs there were or assumed he was already safe. I think it was a two run brain freeze.

He had to know he didn't tag him. The big question is why was he paying attention to what Cano was doing on the bases?

Don't forget that was a 1-2 pitch drilled to the wall to start that debacle.

Keuchel would have been lucky to get the out at home as much as he was unlucky Maldonado fucked up.

Warren in for the M's

White grounds out 6-3
Gurriel singles to LF
Reddick with a pop up single down the 3B line, just out of Seager's reach, Gurriel to 2B
Kemp, pinch hitting for Maldonado, works the count full...flies out F9, Gurriel to 3B
Gattis, pinch hitting for Marisnick, strikes out flailing at a pitch three feet off the plate

5-0 Mariners

Should the Astros be fortunate enough to make the postseason, Gattis has played his way off the roster.

Actually I do think it's less than 100% and it's affecting him.

He looked sharp his first series back (in Seattle), its been sporadic since then.  His ability to use that leg for power could be affected.

Of course compared to Correa he's lights out.
