Castro grounds to SS, Seager there in the shift, fields it then bobbles it. Another E-5

T5:

Tucker…swings and misses…Tucker claims he got a piece of the catcher’s mitt…Astros challenge…yep, called upon review. Score that E-2, as Castro goes to 2B

This game has not exactly been crisp

T5:

Gurriel strikes out looking.

2-1 Astros

Someone else grab some PBP. I have to go make risotto

Yuli must have guessed wrong.

Jeebus, Straw.

That was… not pretty

I realize that was not a can o corn, but he played that into a 2-run triple.

Straw giveth…

Well. So much for that

That’s a play you expect a major league centerfielder to make. I know he misread it and it carried more than he thought it would but he seemed to just be lazily drifting back until he was completely lost

Was in the air for almost 6 seconds and had a 95% catch probability according to the booth’s stat machine.

Also, Raley has been horribly inconsistent this year.

I can’t think of another center fielder in the league who doesn’t make that catch.

Well this game got away in a hurry.

What on earth has happened to Smith?

Can’t seem to hit spots. Seems like every pitch he throws drifts over the center of the plate.
