[Scraps 13567]

Was that Scraps trying to take that ball from Jake?

Lol negative

[Scraps 13567]

Framber sure did get his shit together after that 1st

[Scraps 13567]

New Jakey poo with the hit and SB

[kevwun 15809]

This inning would bring a tear to Augie's eye.

[Scraps 13567]

Should be safe but i bet we get fucked here

[kevwun 15809]

And then getting thrown out at home ruined it.

totally disagree and that's not because of the call overturned

[Gourmand 7774]

I cannot believe we got a call at the plate overturned

[texashorne 1178]

Awesome! 

[maninblack 7974]

great slide

[Guest]

Hell yeah.

[kevwun 15809]

Not that deep of a fly, right down the line and the right fielder was getting to move in on the catch.  Lots of things lining up for a good throw to the plate.  Glad it worked out though.

I'm tellin' y'all, Jake Meyers is a ballplayer.

 

[Scraps 13567]

No Vaseline by SGP coming up

[kevwun 15809]

He's a better baserunner than Straw, so he's already more useful in the playoffs.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Every good Astros team needs a Jake M.

If you advance a guy from first to third base with a steal and a long fly out and there's only one out, I like the idea of keeping the pressure on the defense to make a perfect throw/catch. That ball was *just* deep enough with Meyers' speed to go for it. If it doesn't work out, Altuve still leads off the next inning. But ymmv.

definitely a better defender

[Scraps 13567]

 

I can do it in 12.3

[Stros121 4]

Stanek scares the shit out of me every time he pitch. I will take a scoreless inning from him.

[Gourmand 7774]

i feel some brooks raley in my immediate sports watching future

Should be Graveman and Presley for the next 2 innings. Brooks can suck a dick.

Offense gonna score three or four runs so Dusty can roll with Brooks

Good

[Mo Horn 8852]

 Diaz has been raking lately. Up to .298 and behind only Brantley in today's lineup. 

[Stros121 4]

Graveman is sexy as fuck! 

[Gourmand 7774]

Brooks Raley warming!!

 

HAHAHA 

TOLDYA

[Mo Horn 8852]

I'm at work, so following on gamecast. We're those last 2 pitches that Correa swung at really that far off the plate? 

[Gourmand 7774]

Yes

[Gourmand 7774]

pretty sure Correa intentionally tanked that at bat so Dusty would have to think twice about using your favorite aggy. another run or two and Pressly sits down.

[elguapo 4586]

Blue is ready to wrap this up

[Stros121 4]

Presley is going to fuck around and lose his job to Graveman. 

[TonyTexas 10518]

Baby sweep

 

[Stros121 4]

Nice little sweep!!

[DaysOff 7959]

C'mon Guardians. Get some tonight.

[henrygandorf 29194]

damn that game was boring.
