Why the fuck is the outfield camera in left field?

[Honeysucklerose 957]

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

[Guadaloopy 10917]

Tropicana field sounds... juiced. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

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 3747]

Motherfucker

[Planet Houston 4923]

Motherfucker

[elfenix 34169]

damnit

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Oh boy. Gonna be a tense one tonight

[UTexasFight 9375]

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

But what a terrible pitch

[Mo Horn 8807]

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 10917]

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 8807]

 Get JP up

[tx 3 putt 76296]

Verlander is throwing the ball way too up

Exactly

Yep. Still more concerned about the offense

[Pimphand 5592]

So much delusion...

[Planet Houston 4923]

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

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

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 6596]

Lots of open seating in the upper deck 

[cabowabo 4452]

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

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Fuck

 

[Planet Houston 4923]

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

[Guadaloopy 10917]

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

[Jshep34 2303]

Yall ready for game 5 Thursday.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Maybe 3 day rest wasn't enough for JV. 

[Jshep34 2303]

Should have gone with urquidity

[cabowabo 4452]

Go get him. 

[Liquor and Poker 3659]

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

Negative me - “Oh fuck.”

[elfenix 34169]

shit

Can we panic now? 

[Planet Houston 4923]

Welp. That backfired. 

[Mez2 4020]

What a shit show

[Guadaloopy 10917]

Astros are going to win.  

[UTexasFight 9375]

And we blow 2 mound visits before 3 outs.

[Jshep34 2303]

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 8807]

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 14468]

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 9375]

Just awful

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

[utxmike05 1825]

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...
