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 11129]

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

[Guadaloopy 11129]

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

[WBT 20884]

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

[Scraps 13745]

Need.more.runs. 

[WBT 20884]

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

[WBT 20884]

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

[clapclapclap 9000]

lulz

 

[elfenix 34658]

shut the fuck up you already got a present

[WBT 20884]

Huge K and now another quick hook

[Guest]

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

 

Fuck this umpire.

[tx 3 putt 78470]

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 10683]

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 1006]

I hate brooks raley

[HillaryFan420 121]

Big PA here.  

[UTPhil2006 3909]

What a pitch

Idk but he got that one right 

[WBT 20884]

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 20884]

thanks for the stupid send bro

[UTexasFight 9788]

Fuck we botched that relay

 

[kevwun 16269]

Thought that was gone at first.

[Planet Houston 4949]

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 78470]

Horrible job rounding third 

[WBT 20884]

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 78470]

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.
