Great, we get to see Yelich again barring a DP.

He's in line to be the winning pitcher either way

So if the visiting team breaks a tie in the next half inning and wins, the visiting pitcher is the winning pitcher of record. I always thought if the inning ended tied, the next pitcher was the pitcher of record.

Cool.

[tx 3 putt 76331]

Good pitch for strike 3 

[tx 3 putt 76331]

We need a DP

Go blow Osuna.  

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t share your concern the longer this has gone on. And he’s not particularly likable, so you’re barking up the wrong tree. But the way you had that quote from a month ago (or whenever it was) teed up is fucking weak. 

[TexArcher 37508]

My kingdom for a routine ground ball.

[tx 3 putt 76331]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck 

[elfenix 34171]

ugh

[cabowabo 4452]

You cannot leave him in there. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19147]

Why Hinch, why?????

[Gut Wagon 8052]

This whole mess is why I was hoping Hinch would at least let Harris start the 9th. But no. 

[Smax 3800]

wow lucky call there

[tx 3 putt 76331]

One more out

[Planet Houston 4923]

Yes!!!

[Fudge Nuggets 19147]

How the hell did we get THAT call?

[cabowabo 4452]

Thank you ump. Terrible call. 

[TexArcher 37508]

Oh man, another friendly high strike punchout.  Unbelievable.

[WBT 20416]

Wow.  I can't believe he rang him up on that.  The reigning mvp against a guy that barely knows where it's going right now.  And it's hard to get high breaking ball calls in the best of circumstances.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Yikes. Generous indeed. But won’t matter if we don’t get another out. 

[tx 3 putt 76331]

Dig deep josh 

[tx 3 putt 76331]

Keep racking up W’s !!!!!

[cabowabo 4452]

Never a doubt. 

[kevwun 15631]

Wow.  Yelich took that a lot calmer than I expected.

[Smax 3800]

yes!

[WBT 20416]

Never any doubt

[elfenix 34171]

strikes out the side!

[rvm96 1643]

Way to keep working James out of the jam you created

[Planet Houston 4923]

Astros Win!!!!!!!!!

[TexArcher 37508]

ASTROS WIN!!!

CHOO CHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Fudge Nuggets 19147]

My oh my.  Let’s keep talking shit about Josh.

[WBT 20416]

Tied with the Yankees and 1 game up on the Dodgers pending their game tonight.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Whew.... Now pass the Pepto. 

[UDontKnow 10439]

And back in the lead for the AL! A game ahead of the Dodgers.

Yeah, it broke down to only being 6 inches high.  There aren't many worse calls than that one.

[Iceman 2639]

Gutsy job by James.

 

Hate the call the Yelich got rung up on.  Would have been totally pissed if it was called on an Astro.

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

Not a great appearance by James, but he was clutch when he needed to be. That’s promising.

Hinch needed James to close it and he did

 

great stadium, I’ll be back tomorrow 

[Johnny Sack 8397]

We stole this one.  Love it.  

[Gut Wagon 8052]

With Peacock, McHugh and Pressly out, there just aren’t a ton of proven bullpen options right now. Harris is about the only dependable arm as of today. Smith I can’t assess just yet. So getting that Houdini act out of James was huge. Hope it’s the start of a big run for him, though I’m not counting on it. 

Maybe after this latest stunt (the throw on the grounder, not the HR), the team will step up their efforts to get Osuna’s head unwedged. By whatever means it takes. Because that has to happen if he’s going to keep getting closing opportunities in October. I really think it’s more likely we’ll see Pressly then. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

The “throw” by Osuna was selfish and half-assed.

Looks blah on tv.

[runthebone 7932]

Whatever on the strike call.  We are a juggernaut and the best team in the league and deserve to get more than our fair share of those calls.

[Jshep34 2304]

No good player ever does that.   That is the bullshit copout way a loser plays.

Yeah went up a game at Miller Park last year
It was built on the cheap and it shows.
It opened the same year as MMP (Or very close to it) but seemed about twice its age. Just seemed dark and gloomy

But roof was also closed for a night game when I went
Maybe it’s better open/in daylight.
