Carlos’ turn. 8-0
Good pitch to Seager. Better hitting.
Walk that guy
That, however, was not a good pitch. Couldn’t have put it on a tee any better for a left-handed hitter.
Changeup, not fooled
Raley to the rescue
I’ve had enough of the Brooks Raley experience. Does Baker realize there is a three-batter minimum every time he brings him in a game?
I mean, fuck Raley. If he isn’t DFA’d after this game he won’t ever be. We would be better off with a position player on the mound.
He got the job done today, but I simply never feel comfortable with him on the mound.
Come on, Brooks! (A dad for the 4th time - good reason for being out.)
…against Dylan Moore, nope!
Long, Yes!!!
I’m uncomfortable watching a manager let him walk two guys with a 5 run lead, and let him pitch to another batter. Too many high wire acts with Baker’s pen management.
Quit teasing me and tell me the trade
Oh, it’s the trade we already knew about.
Diaz doing the work. Putting the ball in play and hustling to beat the double play, plating Straw. 9-3
Straw’s two steals set that up.
Astros got Garcia from Miami (reliever) for Austin Pruitt and a MiLB OFer.
Bryan De La Cruz is the outfielder.
Meanwhile Javier in to start the 7th. Single, wild pitch, fly out to left, walk, Sharp grounder to Altuve who bobbles what might have been a DP, but gets the runner at first. 2nd and 3rd with 2 down, Toro up
We should all pitch in for Strom’s stomach meds.
Fucking bullpen meltdown. What a surprise.
