Jose ties it at one in the 4th with a smash that defies his stature.

Judge makes it 2-1 with an oppo taco.

Top of the 6th man on 2nd, 2 out. Harris warming up. Still 2-1 Yanks over the Good Guys

that red headed Rusty Staub look alike with a RBI single off the LF wall. 3-1 yanks.

The announcers said that it's the first 0 in Yankees' history. My $0.02 is that it looks stupid, particularly on a reliever. Perhaps a speedy center fielder could pull it off.

Maybe his and Ottavino’s is meant to represent the letter O for their name rather than Zero

Astros win!!

Two nights in a row they get late runs to come back against very good bullpens. Nice to see.

MusicMan · « **Reply #36 on:** April 08, 2019, 09:14:25 pm »

That’s a damn good win. Definitely one of the 54 that can go either way, always nice to see it on the plus side.

Becoming a habit. Let’s make this one more like the Oakland series and less like the other two.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #40 on:** April 09, 2019, 08:18:16 am »

Great win indeed.

Osuna with a 6 pitch (I think) save.

BudGirl · « **Reply #41 on:** April 09, 2019, 08:21:20 am »

My "semi" concern from last nights game is Verlander. I really didn't think he'd make six innings the way the game was going. He battled and made it but it wasn't what I was expecting after the Rangers game.

I get the concern, but he wasn't really getting hit hard IMO, he was just off mechanically and therefore inefficient with a lot of non-competitive pitches. I'm assuming he'll find his groove.

JV didn't seem too concerned about his performance in the post-game. Just something to work out.

JV is a student of his profession. He'll zero in on it.

I enjoyed Tyler White's attempt to slide and slap the plate. He popped up like a weeble wobble.

Or anyone else for that matter. What did people expect him to say "boy, I suck...I'm really worried that I no long have the skills to play at this level"? I'm not sure I'd want the guy who doesn't say "I'm confident I'll pitch better next time out".

Didn't understand why Hinch didn't have Kemp run for White in the 7th.

Don't you lose the DH spot if you do that?

Pretty sure that if you pinch-run for the DH, the pinch-runner simply becomes the DH. Just like pinch-hitting for him.

You lose the DH when the DH is moved to a defensive position.

That was a perfect slide and a heads-up play. If he comes in straight he is out.
