Astros @ Diamondbacks, August 6, 2020

Locastro runs for Young

Ahmed singles past Correa, Locastro to 2nd.

How the fuck dies Locastro not score there?

Way too much of the plate on 0-2.

Marte #1 pulls a ball foul, pushes a FB foul, slaps a high FB to LF, Locastro atops at 3rd.

Bases loaded.

Bases juiced, nobody out

THIS!!!

Right wrist strain on Springer. (donā€™t know if the tv guys reported that or not)

Thank God itā€™s not discomfort.

Dicks. Stomped.

Son Of A Bitch!

Pressly ainā€™t right.

Calhoun takes inside 1-0, takes a ā€œstrikeā€ 1-1, misses a backfoot slider 1-2, lays off another 2-2, doubles (technically a single) down the line.

2 runs score.
Dbacks win 5-4.

Shitballs.

Great job Pressly. Where is the guy that was dominant for the first half of last season?

This pitching staff is in fucking shambles. Something better change or there is no fucking way this team is making the postseason, even with 60% of teams in.

Iā€™m pretty sure that crooked hat wearing arrow shooter ainā€™t the answer.

Whatever offensive struggles you may have, playing the Astros is the cure.

I never want to see a series where Kole Calhoun is an unstoppable force.

This not not going to suddenly get better. These guys are who they are. Our frontline guys are either hurt, recovering from injuries, or gone to other teams.

Well said. When you have a bullpen of entirely rookies and Ryan Pressly, things are really bad. Then, you have Greinke and a bunch of question marks in the rotation with Verlander out. This is not the Astrosā€™ pitching staff from the past three seasons.

Yep. If you had asked me two days who among all the pitchers on the roster had one proven year in the big leagues and that we could count on this season I would have said: Greinke, Pressley, and maybe McCullers. Now it seems weā€™re down to Greinke. Letā€™s hope he delivers tonight.

At this point, you hope your offense can carry you to .500 and you roll the dice in a five game series.
