Can't challenge foul tips either which is dumb.

[kevwun 15,797]

A couple more feet to right field and that would have cleared the wall and been a home run.

Adell needs that Blanco glove

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

Pena with a 339ft dinger to left! 

[WBT 20,615]

Peña!!

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

Oh ummm, nevermind...

Nope.  But JP3 having a heck of a season.

[WBT 20,615]

Looks like right call

[kevwun 15,797]

It would be much easier if the yellow line and above was a home run.  Never have understood why the line itself isn't a homer.  Would be like if the sideline lines on football fields were actually in bounds and you had to step completely over them to be out of bounds.

Crud.

The astros are 3 feet from being up 2-0.

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

Here's the hit, but was ruled a double on a review. 

 

 

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

Bregman so far this series, is 0-11 with 1 walk. Really didn't need to put him back in the 4 spot after a couple good games against the A's. 

[Guadaloopy 10,973]

Furk

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

409 foot home run for a guy hitting .111 and who had never hit a homer in his 67 MLB at-bats. Awesome.

Fuck Tyler Anderson.

our hitters can stop looking at his leg twitch. Looks like he is catching a calf cramp with each pitch. 

[BrickTop 477]

It’s almost if full counts lead to bad shit.

[Rip76 4,943]

So over the dumb fucking base running.

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

Nice baserunning by Jake, but a dumb move trying to get a triple by Dubon when there's nobody out. 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Doobie must be smoking doobies. He wasn’t making that

[runthebone 8,013]

For Brown, this was the equivalent of a perfect game.  Let's get him a no decision or better!

It's hard to out-TOOTBLAN Altuve, but Dubon found a way.

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

And with that, both pitchers complete quality starts. Astros bring in Mush to take over the 7th in a 1 run game.

[David Dennison 18,922]

Hunter Brown pitched a hell of a game.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Dubon stays at second, goes to third on Caratini ground out then can score on fly ball. Little things. 
Martinez and Montero left in the pen. We need a crooked number.

Never make the first or third out at third 

[TejasPedro 1,858]

Jake Meyers with the heady base running 

[Huckleberry 32,997]

Anderson balks on pickoff attempts but I realize they won't call it. Rules state you have to step directly toward the case, so the leg waggle is legal for a pitch but make it an illegal pickoff move by rule.

Little league stuff

[Guadaloopy 10,973]

Fuck Johnny Cueto, Nestor Cortes, and Tyler Anderson.

[runthebone 8,013]

Facing Prime Koufax today.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Pop-up prince

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

soft-tossing lefties remain our kryptonite. At least we cleared Bregs' spot before the 9th.

Bregman officially sucks again.

[tx 3 putt 77,061]

Fucking bregman 

[David Dennison 18,922]

Thoroughly dominated.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Meyers deserves a walk off. Let’s do it.

[runthebone 8,013]

Can't blame the bats, they scored 1 against someone I assume is a several time Cy Young winner.

 

Or maybe they want to lower the pressure for Abreu when he returns.

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

Time for a hero to step up to the plate.

[Rip76 4,943]

Really needed this one.  
 

oh well.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Pathetic

[runthebone 8,013]

Losing the series to such a shitty team may be a new low.  Hard to tell this season.

[Guadaloopy 10,973]

That was a pretty bad day.

[David Dennison 18,922]

Decent home stand.

God awful series.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Not even a fight. First game of the series really sucks now. Couple more inches on Pena’s double and Dubon keeps his ass at second and we probably get this one too. Thems the breaks. Bregman should go back down the order. Day off then go sweep the As.

Needed is a strong word in May, but that sucked.

Shake it off.

wait a sec, what's the point of the yellow line then?
