Berrios looks scared now.  

well hell yeah, when he stopped getting strike outs on 2 strikes, he felt it a little.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Was hoping to crunch Berrios there.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Urquidy does not look like a second year player out there.  He has such a great demeanor on the mound.  

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Center cut again.  Didn’t miss it that time.  Hat tip. Kid.  

[WBT 20422]

separate stats for regular season and playoffs really isn't that befuddling a concept

[Scraps 13542]

Need.more.runs. 

[WBT 20422]

marwin's helped us out a couple of times at 3rd

[WBT 20422]

that was weird, looked like it would have been an easier play for Kepler

[clapclapclap 9000]

lulz

 

[elfenix 34172]

shut the fuck up you already got a present

[WBT 20422]

Huge K and now another quick hook

[Guest]

3rd pitch was a strike.  Batter was already on grace...

 

Fuck this umpire.

[tx 3 putt 76409]

That was a strike 

[HillaryFan420 121]

Big spot for our LOOGY.  

[HillaryFan420 121]

This ump is fucking absurd.  Usually MLB cleans this shit up by the playoffs.  

[TonyTexas 10482]

Don’t really understand the early hook. 76 pitches. Too early to play the lefty/ righty game

Usually there are half as many umpires needed by the playoffs

They aren’t going to let a guy see the lineup for a 3rd time

point still remains, this guy is one of the better ones?

I don't think I've seen a  game out of about 55 Astros games and a handful of Rangers games this year  with this many truly blown pitch calls, as in totally in or out of the zone and being called incorrectly.

[Honeysucklerose 959]

I hate brooks raley

[HillaryFan420 121]

Big PA here.  

[UTPhil2006 3792]

What a pitch

Idk but he got that one right 

[WBT 20422]

Huge k.  Raley vs Cruz with two men on seems like we fucked up.

He'd be a great weapon under the old rules and still has some usefulness with the new ones.

Don’t give him a fastball

[WBT 20422]

thanks for the stupid send bro

[UTexasFight 9380]

Fuck we botched that relay

 

[kevwun 15657]

Thought that was gone at first.

[Planet Houston 4923]

Correa cannon. Whew. 

Now let’s get some action on the basepaths. 

[HoustonFrog 368]

What a terrible throw home

[clapclapclap 9000]

Great job Machete

[HillaryFan420 121]

POS ump cost us a run.

So much this.  A good throw and he's out by two steps.

Yep.  Especially when Raley failing to retire both of the lefties was going to force Raley vs Cruz with two on.  I'd much rather take my chances with Urquidy facing Arraez and Kepler.

Nothing to do with Cruz getting a meatball?

That wasn't a meatball and if the ump did his job he would have never seen the plate.

[tx 3 putt 76409]

Horrible job rounding third 

[WBT 20422]

Javier coming in next.  I wondered if we might save him for tomorrow.

Remove your orange-tinted glasses and see what you’ve been missing.

It was a center cut curve meatball and the ump has been shit all day to both sides.

Lance would be on full rest tomorrow.

It wasn't a terrible location.  It was down and in.  Cruz is just the one guy in their lineup that you shouldn't let beat you.

[tx 3 putt 76409]

Not sure how javier’s ball works in this rain

Oh, I agree.  I just figured Javier would be the first one out of the pen, so when Raley came in I wondered what the plan was.
