Urquidy may want to rethink his 'fall behind then catch a lot of plate' strategy.

austro · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2019, 07:48:43 pm »

My contribution to the Twitter Tuesday "weird game" category is Jim Clancy's great start on 8/3/89 in Cincinnati, where the Astros surrendered 14 runs in the 1st inning. Maybe not "weird" per se, but it was memorable. Clancy faced 7 batters, gave up 6 hits and a walk, and was charged with 7 earned runs. Then Bob Forsch came in and gave up 10 more over the course of 7 innings.

Wolters grounds the first pitch to Altuve, out 4-3.

Astros win 9-8.

Helluva win.

Kudos to Harris, Devo, Pressly, and Osuna.

Offensively, Piña Power.

Yep. Great relief work after James.
