Yes. That’s now a tradition.
That’s a fucked tradition.
Apparently the fans love it. Nine innings, four runs scored…five runs in the 10th. How can you not…
I always thought the designated hitter was evil. I had no clue how evil evil could be.
Just wait until the universal DH permanently takes effect next season.
3rd changeup, Garcia had that one timed
So watching the replay of Straw’s infield hit in the 10th…I know the third baseman gets anything he can, but he was moving hard to his left and didn’t get much on the throw across his body. Shortstop was right behind him coming in. I wonder if they’d have had a better shot at Straw had the SS fielded that ball…
No, Matt. The SS had no chance.
And, the location was terrible.
OK…just thinking out loud.
No kidding. You can’t make that pitch 0-2
My thought is the pitcher was convinced Garcia had no chance to hit him. Just throw three up there and go sit down.
He’s got all night to let that thought haunt his dream.

Yep. Garcia got a gift, and he took advantage of it.

1978 for both.
Man, Astros walking it off was superb. Doing it via a Texas Leaguer had me grinning like a fool.
Great win last night.
