Two out rallies are the best.

[Mo Horn 8899]

Damn. Needed a crooked number there

[HtownHorn 14915]

I think Pressly got overused in the WBC. Likely not pitching today.

[runthebone 8131]

Watched that meatball

[WBT 20735]

8 and 9 on base for the top of the order.  We need to cash in some insurance here.

[billfromlaketravis 11601]

Julks has me intrigued. Million dollar question, can he play CF? 

[Mo Horn 8899]

Yordan

[runthebone 8131]

Good enough.  Nice.  They should consider walking him every time.

[Mo Horn 8899]

Nice insurance runs

[Scraps 13598]

Everyone having fun except Breggy

[WBT 20735]

2-out rbis get you to heaven

[runthebone 8131]

Really want Kelly to take the loss.  Pussy.

Small ballin' all over the place.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOIN NERIS

dfa neris

[perfectchaos007 6713]

Weak relay throw by Hensely

[tx 3 putt 77919]

Close the door !!

A quick note I don't want to get away: when Robert robbed Tuck, seemingly in return for Tuck robbing him earlier in the series, Robert Ford called it "Gold Glover-on-Gold Glover violence,"

You got to be shitting me

[Mo Horn 8899]

Great pitch, just baseball that that dropped.

Ford is a gem.

Inning would've been over on the previous hit if Yuli'd been on first.

[Rimbo 26417]

good grief, sit Neris down; he's sending balls all over the place

[tx 3 putt 77919]

2-1 

[Mo Horn 8899]

Winner

Is Pressly hurt or was that just Dusty being Dusty?

[Rimbo 26417]

Whew.

Win the series tomorrow, y'all.

[perfectchaos007 6713]

'Stros win!

[elfenix 34385]

Astros win!

Duty bein' Dusty. Hinch did this all the time, too.

[WBT 20735]

Good job, Neris.  Tied for 1st, pending.

We're going to need some starters to go more than 5 innings at some point.

[Gut Wagon 8105]

Good win. Nice to get a positive contribution from the CF position.

Nah, must be hurt.  He would have thrown either last night or today otherwise.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

espn sobs show them at 1-2 but we still 1-1.  

[runthebone 8131]

Never in doubt.

 

Fuck you, Joe Kelly, you bitch.

 

[MaybeACoordinator 8350]

I'd rather see Blanco in the rotation than Urquidy, who seems ill-suited for MMP. Urquidy has come through for us but I'm always nervous when he's on the mound. 

[MaybeACoordinator 8350]

Love it that Kelly is taking the L.

My thoughts exactly. The World Series games are looking more and more fluky/miracle. He's probably a third starter for the Stros in like 2011. 

[Rimbo 26417]

good luck, fuckers

He'd be a great player to include at the trade deadline. Let Blanco get reps the first few months in the pen, and then put him in the rotation when Urquidy is traded. I think another team, in playoff contention, that needs a #4 or #5 starter would be really interested.

Joe Kelly ERA= 9.00

and the Sox play Correa & Co 13 times.

Fuck Joe Kelly bitchass motherfucker.

[tx 3 putt 77919]

Nerris was a still fresh, let him close it out

win the series tomorrow

From radio, he is sick.

I mean- he has a glove and he can stand in the middle of the Of, sure.  But you don’t want him out there in anything resembling normal amount of time. 

[Hank Chinaski 6324]

Fuck that goddamn cunt Joe Kelly.

It's pretty common for that to happen early in the season. For example last season in 3 of the Astros first 4 games the starter went 5 or less innings.

Blanco = Javier 2.0’

We racetracks arms, everyone still needs to be stretched out, especially the starters. Just keep racking more W’s than L’s. It’s a long season and lost season
