Are we taking bets on stranding Chirinos on 2nd?

Is stranded on 3rd a push?

All they can do is hit the ball hatd. Both did. They can’t direct it.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what's more frustrating, though. When they hit it hard right at someone, or when they strike out or hit a weak grounder at someone.

Tom Servo · « **Reply #19 on:** April 21, 2019, 03:01:51 pm »

I was wanting Choo to try to score on a Carlos relay throw.

Looking forward to hearing that Cole was somehow also tipping McHugh's pitches.

That's like the total opposite of Votto's career first pop out to the the first baseman the other day.

Framber answers the rally by walking the leadoff hitter.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #35 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:08:17 pm »

Back to back walks to start the 6th.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #36 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:09:37 pm »

4-3 double play.

Now Framber gets to face Gallo with a man on.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #37 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:11:57 pm »

Unbelievable.

Gallo pops one a mile high, none of the infielders can locate it.

Ball drops 20 feet from the nearest Astro. Choo scores. Framber out.

astrojo · « **Reply #38 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:13:04 pm »

And Gallo w his 5th rbi on a sky high pop up that no one could see.

Finally get the guy not to mash a ball, and nobody catches it.

Replay shows Bregman recognize Correa was in trouble but it was too late to make a play.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #40 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:27:48 pm »

Valdez walked 3, struck out 3.

He's a walking peptic ulcer.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #41 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:34:12 pm »

Correa turned on that one viciously.

The ball was probably no more than 5 feet above the wall at its apex.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #42 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:39:24 pm »

Reddick gets some chin music from the lefty Martin, then takes him yard.

11-8.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #43 on:** April 21, 2019, 04:57:52 pm »

Springer dinger makes it 11-9.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #44 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:00:12 pm »

Bregman walks.

Brantley flies out to right.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #45 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:03:10 pm »

Brantley just missed getting it tied up.

Just off the sweet spot.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #46 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:04:07 pm »

Correa chases some low sliders and Ks.

Too amped up.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #47 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:09:09 pm »

Yuli works a walk.

1st/2nd for Josh. Jake runs for Yuli.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #48 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:14:14 pm »

Josh likewise walks.

Bases juiced.

Altuve will hit for Díaz.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #49 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:19:43 pm »

Altuve walks (strike 2 was clearly ball 4 high, ball 5 was even higher), Bregman scores.

11-10.

Bases still juiced. Rangers going to the pen.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #50 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:21:41 pm »

Kelley (RHP) to face Chirinos.

Chirinos got TWO cement mixers and missed them both.

Fuck. If only McHugh hadn't decided to shit himself so emphatically today.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #52 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:25:47 pm »

Chirinos falls behind 0-2, then 1-2 fighting a few off before he Ks on a slider in the dirt.
Final
11-10 Rangers.

He was so out in front on the second one.

When Wendelstedt called strike 2 on Altuve I wondered if he wasn't doing us a favor ie. Altuve had a better chance of delivering than Chirinos.

And yes. 2 worst starts in Cole and McHugh's careers in back to back games.

astrojo · « **Reply #54 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:29:48 pm »

I knew that pop up was the winning run when it happened. Ugh, how the hell does your starter allow 10 effing runs? 2 nights in a row???

JimR · « **Reply #55 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:38:25 pm »

Pretty telling he did not PH White for Chirinos.

McHugh’s ERA ballooned from 1.96 to 4.78

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #57 on:** April 21, 2019, 05:58:18 pm »

And don't forget that run that scored on the popup was the leadoff hitter in the inning, who got on base by Framber fucking walking him.

Framber then walked the next batter for good measure.

Don't want run scoring popups to happen? Don't fucking walk the first 2 batters in the inning.

Walks were his issue last year and it seems to me that it still is.
