So much more than we could have hoped from Cionel. Please end this Chirinos. 

Ballgame!

[clapclapclap 9000]

LOL, great block, but the Sisco kid kinda forgot to finish.

Was he safe because the catcher had his arm pinned underneath him?  I don't think he ever touched the plate.

He snuck the oven mitt in finally but dipshit had him if he would just touch him with the ball lol

[tx 3 putt 78470]

That’s how you start the home stand !!!

windmill going to windmill !!!!!

[runthebone 8322]

  What an ending.  Sanchez-like.  Glad Yuli didn't fracture his arm.  Go feet first.

Keep racking up W’s !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

huge showing for Perez 

[kevwun 16269]

Yuli was probably winded from all the pitches he took off on.  Might have beat it cleanly if not for all of that.

You sure about that?

Up there with lucroy and Hosmer screw ups on walk offs. Its a W all that matters

I’ll gladly take it. But after seeing every replay angle over and over and looking for a mitt to slip in there, I think he still hasn’t touched the plate. Glad to get it and get out of that game with a W.

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Nice to keep winning

[WBT 20884]

You people serious?  He touched the plate.  Even if he didn't, he still hasn't been tagged.

Yep. Wrap up show showed every angle multiple times and I’ve still not seen Yuli touch the dish. Is there some blocked plate rule we’re missing?

What I was wondering. They didn’t take long on the review.

The ump called him safe.
At that point the only thing they could review is whether he was tagged before the ump called him safe
Can’t expect a guy to keep trying to touch the base after he’s called safe ( or catcher to tag him)
Play is over at that point.

The call stood. It wasn’t confirmed or whatever probably because they couldn’t clearly see he touched the plate.

[Wishbone 4924]

Seems like he had Yuli pinned after the initial block. Not sure if that is kosher.

[Planet Houston 4949]

I saw this one on the replay. No doubt. 

[Mez2 4041]

In Houston we elbow and Cali they Dayton

Then it’s still 3-3 with 2 outs and the game is in the Twilight Zone.
But since replay couldn’t show either Yuli touching the plate or the catcher tagging him then the call on the field stands..
Astros Win!

I would rather see Urquidy but I guess I will have to wait.

 

[WBT 20884]

I mean, the view is obscured by the catcher and the ump, but I don't know how you can think he didn't touch the plate at the 33-34 second mark

MLB.com had an article yesterday talking about 7 perfect trades. They had one for the Astros and Encarnacion. The Bumgarner one was to the Yankees and this was what the writer thought it would cost:  "The Yankees have so much Minor League depth that it’s going to be a matter of exchanging names until both sides are comfortable. That should not be a sticking point. The Yankees aren’t going to trade outfielder Estevan Florial (their No. 1 prospect), but righties Roansy Contreras (No. 10) and Nick Nelson (No. 11) are two names to keep an eye on."

With White on deck, windmill was the only option.

Yeah nobody is going to give up their top prospects for a half-season of Bumgarner, but if we can get him for 2 out of Freudis Nova, Bryan Abreu, Brandon Bielak, Luis Santana and throw in a major league-ready guy to open a roster spot (Fisher maybe, who the Giants could play every day the rest of the year to see what he's got)...man I think I'd do that, and I doubt they'd get much better offers elsewhere. 

As for Encarnacion...he'd help, especially if the injured guys remain injured, but MB seems like the higher impact guy.

You guys ever hope to see this on the bottom of the ESPN ticker:  HOU: OUT Tyler White (Seppuku) 

Just me? 

We should be so lucky. Although I think “unable to fit in uniform” is far more likely. 

[Guest]

seppuku ends in bukakke?

[Hank Chinaski 6345]

Hey, Tyler is 4/9 with 2 BB the last two games...he could be turning it around. 

 

(He's probably not turning it around.)

It's gone from .581 to .612!

Hell yes

Are we beyond the Super Two date? It's Yordan Alvarez time. 

* Hot take alert* Tyler White sucks.
