Astros at Royals 09/13/2019
« on: September 13, 2019, 07:21:45 pm »
Jose Altuve sends one over the wall to make it 1-0 with one out in the first.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

I know last night was only 1 out of 162, but I hate to lose winnable games, especially in JV start. Bases loaded in the 8th, first and second no outs in the 9th with top of the order up, runner at third one out infield back for Altuve. Altuve’s baserunning gaffe with two on.

We pissed the game away, and it bothers me way more than 21-7.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.

Good catch just before he ran out of room.

Tucker had some hard luck that AB. Hit the ball hard twice.
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

Cole has given up leadoff doubles twice and twice he's kept them from scoring.

Let's get some runs for this guy.

Springer not hitting, Bregman not hitting, Brantley not playing

Punchless. Altuve watches one down the middle for K

1-0 middle 5. Dangerous game.

The chance of Jake throwing out the runner was low, but he didn’t put himself in the best position to make it close.

Just checked out the highlights.

Both teams with some nice plays in the field.

Favorite moment was Dozier standing on 3rd, confused,  finally saying "he caught that?" as everyone ran off the field.
