Why isn’t Straw on 3rd?

Sproinger doinger!

nice 2 strike swing keep things going

Go fuck yourself, Hudson. That pitch wasn’t anywhere near the zone at any point.

4 inches inside … called strike 1

Pitiful call against Jose

Dammit.

Didn’t have to throw a single strike to Altuve

Altuve strikes out. Astros lose.

That was incredibly unsurprising. Altuve fouled a fucking meatball for strike 2 then whiffs on a fastball on the corner.

Dammit

I know Jim thinks it’s a bullshit stat, but Altuve left 7 runners on base tonight.

It is bullshit to say that for a runner on first.

3 runs, all from the starter.

The offensive woes have overshadowed improved performance of the pen.

And freaking wasted some gems from the starters.

According to ESPN, Altuve ranks 64th of 67 players in the AL in OPS. Only three players rank below him. One is Marwin Gonzalez.

Yes. What is most depressing is that this hasn’t been against good teams or good pitchers.

This team leaves more guys on third base than a Promise Keepers high school retreat

Not that it’s any better, but three times he ended the inning with runners in scoring position. One was a screaming line drive double play, so no fault there. The other two were not good at bats.
