That was an impressive sight.

He did but it a long long long way.

Love that rocket arm by Carlos.

I wonder what Yuli's hand looks like after something like that.

Crooked number, please.

You gotta be kidding me.

astrojo · « **Reply #8 on:** April 25, 2019, 08:50:03 pm »

how is that not a dead ball?

hostros7 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 25, 2019, 08:50:18 pm »

That non-call on the ball off of correa’s foot is pretty, pretty bad.

What's the rationale behind that not being a reviewable call?

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #11 on:** April 25, 2019, 08:51:38 pm »

Because they missed it and it isn't reviewable despite the fact that replay clearly showed the ball hitting his foot.

Or, more succinctly:
It's bullshit.

It doesn't make sense why it is not review-able. If they ruled HBP it would be, I think.

They could simplify all of this review bullshit by simply saying that anything (other than balls and strikes) that's caught on camera is reviewable. A manager gets two or three misses, after which they can't request any more reviews. Done.

austro · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2019, 08:58:38 pm »

How was that not a strike?

astrojo · « **Reply #17 on:** April 25, 2019, 08:58:41 pm »

A homer and now a walk to a .219 hitter.

astrojo · « **Reply #18 on:** April 25, 2019, 09:02:29 pm »

Had Perez 0-2 now full count...

Finally, K

Bummer. He was the one of the early great combo small forward/shooting guard types.

This game is making me sad.

Texifornia · « **Reply #22 on:** April 25, 2019, 09:23:05 pm »

A bloop, a blast, and three outs is all it takes.

That's some bad luck or technique. Left hand turned into a brake.

Fuck.

I think that's 11-9 on stolen base attempts this season. Not good.

Tom Servo · « **Reply #27 on:** April 25, 2019, 09:42:54 pm »

It's nice to have a closer that can pitch in non-save situations.

Osuna looks good.

B9, here we go!

Tom Servo · « **Reply #29 on:** April 25, 2019, 09:51:43 pm »

Bad luck for Yuli.

oh well, good pitching tonight. Try again tomorrow.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #30 on:** April 25, 2019, 09:54:31 pm »

2 runners on, 1 out for Correa and a foul ball gets missed and turns into a double play.

Altuve has the swim slide lined up to steal 2nd but his landing gear jams and he's out having never touched the bag.

Plus that prick Bauer is a pretty good pitcher. Fucker.

Yep. Tattooed some with nothing to show. That's baseball.

Oh well.

Cole looked like 2018 Cole.

Also another stupid-fuck attempted steal that led to an out when the Astros were down by a run. Unfortunately common.

To be fair, that was a hit and run where Bregman had no chance to even protect him.

Bregman did not try. He took the pitch. Someone missed a sign. I agree Altuve thought it was a hit and run because he looked in at Bregman halfway to second.

The umpires awarded three outs on foul balls they missed.

BizidyDizidy · « **Reply #37 on:** April 26, 2019, 10:24:45 am »

I know it evens out, but it seems like we've had worse than average umpiring luck to start the year.

I can't shake the feeling that we've pissed the umpires off, and we're paying for it. It's probably not a conscious thing on the umpires' part, but I think they're a little less willing to give the benefit of the doubt, or to listen to arguments, and so on.

I've wondered the same.

Between the preseason Hernandez imbroglio and the Culpa mess they've had some high profile dust ups.

But AJ sets a great tone, the players follow suit, and they keep talk of robot umps to themselves.
