Astros @ Mariners, May 7, 2023

Bases juiced, two outs, and that’ll be it for Bielak

Yeah, it’s kind of sucky irony that one of our returning regulars is at one of the positions where we’re having the least problems.

Dubon has always been a plus defender. That’s how he made it to the big leagues. His improved hitting this year has been the pleasant surprise.

Here lies (any 2023 Astros starting pitcher)

He deserved better

Gage in…and he balks in a run

You have to be kidding me.

Of course. It’s perfect.

Crawford strikes, but he tags Bielak with another earned run and it’s 3-0

If I didn’t have my son with me I would seriously drink myself to unconsciousness

I have a hard time saying a pitcher that allowed 10 hits in 4.2 innings deserved better than allowing two earned runs.

I’ve never seen an hpu so excited to step out, call a balk, and then demonstrate the infarction.

I wish he had an infarction.

Do you think the balk call was correct?

I didn’t see a balk. And I didn’t hear the official explanation.

Bregman has slipped beneath the Mendoza line.

Slipped? More like a “dive”.

That unearned run will be all Seattle needs.

Cuzzi is as big a prima dona as Angel. It’s all about him the second he steps on the field.

Leadoff walks. Yay

If the bullpen has to pick up 4+ innings in 3 out of every 5 starts, this season is going to get very ugly.
