What was the call on the reversal on Altuve going to third? Looked like Brantley got HBP. Why wasn’t he awarded first if Altuve had to go back to second? I’m watching a stream with the sound off.

He swung. Strike. Dead ball when it hit him.

Brantley swung.  It's a strike and a dead ball.

He swung and missed
If you suck bad enough to swing and miss at a pitch and still get hit by it, it’s a strike
You don’t go to first base

[TexArcher 37455]

Oh, that's gonna be on pitching ninja.  What a disgusting wipeout pitch.

It was the right call.  He swung.  No HBP if you swing.  And ball is dead once it hits him. 

[Planet Houston 4922]

Fuck

[Telegraph_it 3353]

shit

[Jebus 1300]

god damn, man.  can't finish these fuckers off when he's got 2 strikes on 'em.

 

 

[Honeysucklerose 957]

I never really was pumped about this trade for some reason

[kevwun 15595]

Weird start for him today.  Looks unhittable for a few batters and then starts serving them up on a tee.

[UDontKnow 10439]

Best bet is to wear out CFM and hope for their bullpen to screw up.

[perfectchaos007 6593]

This series is going 5. Fuck!

With two outs no less

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Time to put on our big-boy britches and hit the ball. I know Morton's a solid pitcher, but get it together out there. 

[DaysOff 7821]

Feels like it now

Yeah, we're just guaranteed to do nothing for the next 15 innings?!

Christ, man.

[utxmike05 1825]

I knew it. Not consistent in an inning. Get him out before it’s too late. Morton is going to start heating up now.

There’s nothing to make me believe in our Miley/bullpen game but maybe they’ll prove me wrong t 

[thetruth 149]

We don't get an all time great pitching performance from a starter and the sky starts falling. 

[TexArcher 37455]

There you go, Yuli!  Start a rally.

Man, ain’t that@thetruth

So retarded

[Telegraph_it 3353]

If the Rays only get 4 runs this game then we should win. Offense needs to get hits with RISP.

[kevwun 15595]

CFM only probably has another inning or 2 left.

[Planet Houston 4922]

Y’all are a buncha nancies. OMG it’s overrrr!!!!

That sounds like his entire 2+ months with the team

[Jebus 1300]

nice 1 pitch at bat, right when I was hoping they'd at least burn through some more pitches.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Gong to have to start advancing these lead off runners. 

[UTexasFight 9369]

I wish we had at least turned the order over that inning.

Yes, I know we’re technically back to the top of the order next inning, but George is hitting like a 9 hole hitter right now

 

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Our team would be much better if Reddick would pull a hamstring.  He’s fucking sucked all year.

Maybe Springer will suddenly get nearly as hot as he has been cold. If that suddenly happens, and Uncle Mike and Yordan do much at all, we could win this one going away.  

[cabowabo 4449]

God damn Greinke.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Greinke is making my cranky. 

[utxmike05 1825]

What did I say?! Get him out

I've seen enough from Greinke today. 

[UDontKnow 10439]

This game is getting out of hand. Hinch needs to figure out how hard he wants to go for the rest of this game versus saving resources for Game 4.

[cabowabo 4449]

Don't worry guys, we got Urquidy going tomorrow.

[UTexasFight 9369]

Fucking terrible pitch

He’s on top of that ball with the grip.
Flick the wrist

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Rondon up in the pen.

Has it been set yet? My guess is Hinch will go with Miley and it will suck major dick.

Hard to know if that's a white flag or not, but I guess we'll see.

Is Greinke still bored with our offense?

[UTHornFan014 710]

I really would like to try to find someone to take on Grienke's contract (or at least a portion of it) in a trade, so we can try to resign Cole.

[runthebone 7929]

Greinke's gopher ball strategy is suspect.

Fuck

Lulz. Are you Brent Strom’s sock?

[UTexasFight 9369]

JV and Cole have done a great job masking this, but we’re about an inning or two from really really bitching about the offense (lack thereof) this series

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Keep Greinke in.  Let’s keep our bullpen intact.  See it Greinke can have a few positive innings.  And see it offense can do something.

Just need a few timely hits.  We will be fine.

This is accurate.

[TexArcher 37455]

I think the announcers are actually right that the layoff is hurting Greinke.  He can't blow people away like Verlander and Cole.  

And if this is right, Greinke should be fine next time out.

Here comes Rondon!  I agree with you and disagree with Hinch
