Why the fuck is the outfield camera in left field?

[Honeysucklerose 987]

We watched the best pitches that inning. Friggin bats on shoulders. Great pitching.

[Guadaloopy 10,969]

Tropicana field sounds... juiced. 

[perfectchaos007 6,639]

Well the good news is we'll start with the middle of our lineup next inning. That's where our production has been

No shit. Some of those over the plate looked like balls we usually smash.

Sick JV

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Motherfucker

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Motherfucker

[elfenix 34,238]

damnit

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Oh boy. Gonna be a tense one tonight

[UTexasFight 9,432]

He’s (almost) always good for one of those...

But what a terrible pitch

[Mo Horn 8,836]

I just said to my boys, i know he's going to give up some homers, it's just a matter of how many. And they need to be solo shots. 

[Guadaloopy 10,969]

Not the first time it has happened to JV this year.  He’ll be fine.

hopefully that's just the patented verlander 1 hit 1 run through 7 stat line.

[Mo Horn 8,836]

 Get JP up

[tx 3 putt 76,951]

Verlander is throwing the ball way too up

Exactly

Yep. Still more concerned about the offense

[Pimphand 5,749]

So much delusion...

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Location seems to be a big issue. This is not good. 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Not great. This could get ugly if he keeps leaving them over the plate like that.

This is why short rest starts are dumb.  Making your best pitchers mediocre because they still aren't recovered doesn't help.

Get that UTGrad97 crap outta here.

DP, let’s go.

His location is way off. No swings and misses either 

[perfectchaos007 6,639]

Lots of open seating in the upper deck 

[cabowabo 4,484]

Well, this gamble appears to have been a bad one. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Fuck

 

[Planet Houston 4,930]

That was a good pitch, just better hitting. Shit. 

[Guadaloopy 10,969]

Don’t panic, y’all. Astros aren’t.  Guarantee it.  

[Jshep34 2,308]

Yall ready for game 5 Thursday.

[perfectchaos007 6,639]

Maybe 3 day rest wasn't enough for JV. 

[Jshep34 2,308]

Should have gone with urquidity

[cabowabo 4,484]

Go get him. 

[Liquor and Poker 3,659]

Positive me - “Great pitchers always have their worst stuff in the first inning.”

Negative me - “Oh fuck.”

[elfenix 34,238]

shit

Can we panic now? 

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Welp. That backfired. 

[Mez2 4,023]

What a shit show

[Guadaloopy 10,969]

Astros are going to win.  

[UTexasFight 9,432]

And we blow 2 mound visits before 3 outs.

[Jshep34 2,308]

Houston fan in me is thinking they are going down in 5 games to the rays.

Believed this after we shit the bed yesterday. 

[Mo Horn 8,836]

I never weighed in one way or the other about today's starter, so it's easy for me to say it now, but I wanted him to go with Urquidy.

[housious 468]

This is suboptimal 

[HtownHorn 14,681]

Hinch is the manager. You stick with your plan, not Verlander's. Verlander and Cole on full rest in game 5 should have always been the plan.

Maybe, but I think Cole is less likely to implode in a do or die game 5 than higher home run risk rested JV.  So the gamble may still pay off for the series.

Feels like the 2017 playoffs, with ups and down and the outcome never assured until late WS game 7.

[UTexasFight 9,432]

Just awful

Pull him after 2 and maybe he can give you a solid inning on Thursday

[utxmike05 1,828]

Can’t watch anymore right now.

There are still 8 innings left in game 4 and people in this thread are giving up on the season...
