Cole survived a rough 1st unscathed.

Springer doubled home Jake (HBP, SB) in the 3rd.

Was Altuve limping on that double?

That’s twice now that if Astros were running even half speed out of the box, they’d have easy triples.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I think he was lollygagging.

Is there any position player beside White without a homer? Stassi?
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

Homer?  Try RBI.  He doesn't even have one of those.

Good question about Tony. Haven’t seen him either. Hopefully we’re just overlooking him. Could be under the weather??

For those who missed the 1st, Cole walked the first 2 hitters and went 2-0 to Cruz.

1 hit thru 6 was not what we appeared to be in for way back then.

No.   White is in a tie with the entire pitching staff for homers.

Is there really something wrong with Altuve, or is this just some rest?

Who’d a thunk he’d go 1 for 4 and raise his batting average.

I personally thought he was running a little odd, too, but who knows. I could certainly see AJ just giving him the rest of the night off.

And have White pinch hit for him, who has a higher BA.  And is pulling away with that long single.

On his double, I thought he looked a little gimpy. Very similar to late last year.

Cole pitched 7 innings of 1 hit baseball.

In the 8th James has the bases loaded with 2 out forcing AJ to get Devo up in an 11 run game.

K ends the inning,  but that was annoying.

If you’re scoring at home, that last at bat is an interesting one. Score it a strike out on Cave, but Adrianza is out 2U for the final out.

Devo needs mop up work too.
