Astros @ Angels, 8/1/2020

Fletcher is a real piss ant.

B10:

Goodwin…infield and outfield in…0-2…1-2…fouling off pitches…2-2…strikes out swinging

B10:

Rendon intentionally walked to load the bases

What happened to Reddick’s throwing? It’s been terrible.

B10:

Hermosillo flies to shallow RF, Thaiss tags and Reddick’s throw is 30 ft up the 1B line as Thaiss scores.

Astros go down 5-4

His defense tonight was atrocious.

Well that felt appropriate.

Dammit

A semi decent throw from Reddick and Thaiss is out. It was horrible.

So Osuna gets the blown save, but Rodriguez gets the loss…without giving up a run. This is just so fucked up.

Sneed got the blown save.

Right. It was Osuna’s runner, but Sneed on the mound when he scored. See, this bullshit has me completely discombobulated.

I do not understand why the winning run was not an ER unless there also is a LL rule which says if a ghost runner scores it is not an ER to help the poor pitcher’s stats. Kinda like everybody gets a trophy.

That’s exactly it. The ghost runner is treated as reaching on an error.

Yep. “team error”, whatever the hell that is. An unearned run charged to a pitcher who did not allow that runner to reach base.

The entire rule is an error.

This “season” is an error. Hell, Manfred is an error.

During the 1 Aug broadcast, Blummer had it right: describing this season as a petri dish that was being used to try “experiments” w/ baseball.

Manfred could fuck up a wet dream.
