LOBster fest continues.

No score, middle of 4

Man I love seeing Stassi behind the plate.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #2 on:** June 22, 2019, 07:18:53 pm »

Well you don't see that everyday. Jake and Reddick both with errors on the same fly ball.

That was inexplicable.

This HPU's strike zone is fucking enormous.

Also, Fox should be fined by the FCC for how fucking awful this broadcast team is. Jesus Christ. AJ Pierzenski is fucking brutal.

Man Bregman is brutal right now.

Bregman gets up under more balls than a midget hooker.

The proper term is, "little person" hooker.

On his previous AB,it seems like everything snapped together: he got that 3-1 count, and then the pitch came into the middle of the zone and you could just tell by the way he started the swing that he was all over it, and sure enough, he got a hard-hit single. I was so hopeful that it was one of those moments where everything gets set right. But no....

Welp, this game is over.

No chance to overcome a 320 foot home run.

Fuck this dump of a stadium.

I'd like him to get back to being a professional defender.

There we go. Cheap ass home run for the Good Guys!

Would not have guessed that would happen.

MRaup · « **Reply #19 on:** June 22, 2019, 07:46:14 pm »

Tanaka has thrown at least 6 fat, right down the middle pitches since I turned the game on, and the Astros have either flailed or just watched 'em sail by.

The big hit was a ball that was about 4 inches off the ground.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #20 on:** June 22, 2019, 07:48:44 pm »

Judge just nonchalantly hums a head high laser 300 ft right on the money.

Miley responds to the Astros scoring by walking the first two hitters

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #22 on:** June 22, 2019, 07:56:15 pm »

Bloop single... Yankees with the bases loaded, nobody out...

And that's all for Miley. Harris in...

Jesus Fucking Christ, this team is fucking hot garbage.

This is not the defense we;ve come to expect.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #25 on:** June 22, 2019, 08:00:47 pm »

Grounder to 3B, Yuli boots it. 2-base error plates two more. 4-2

austro · « **Reply #26 on:** June 22, 2019, 08:02:07 pm »

The good news is that Voit ought to clog up the bases.

Good job by Harris. Gets the next three after the 2-run error.

Closes the book on Miley... 4 runs on 2 hits.

Springer on rehab tonight and the AA Shitbird pitcher walks him twice so far.

That ball was down. Umpires fuck up an obvious call. Of course.

Watched the gamecast of the clash last night --- there were three or four major calls outside of the zone

LeMahieu getting a ball that was in the middle of the lower zone --- leading to a fucking walk

White AB where the first pitch was so far outside I had my beer come through my nose I squawked so much -- after the called strike on the outside; White started chasing it --- leading to an easy strikeout for Ottavino

Kemp/Altuve --- called strikes out of the zone

Am I making a bigger deal about this than is deserved? I did not see the game, so I am bitter about it --- seemed like they got the close calls and the not so close ones.

My observation: The ump missed calls on both sides. We see the calls against the Astros as glaring because, well, that's our team. I think the bigger issue with Astros hitters is not swinging at pitches they can hit early in the count or when they get into hitters counts.

This was Sparks/Ford's reaction as well.

Thanks Hudson.... I get so reactive on Gamecast -- whereas my vision in watching a game gives a bit more grace.

As a little more clarification, the HPU in this game's strike zone was HUGE. He called a bunch of pitches well off the corners strikes.
