It didn’t bounce off his head. It’s not really funny unless it bounces off his head.
B8:
Gurriel flies out F7
To the 9th…Astros up 2-0
Dammit.
They’ve worn out the seats down the LF line and that ball ends up in front of the bullpen.
T9:
Pressly in
Haniger flies out F9
T9:
France…0-2…grounds out 3-1
T9:

Back to a winning record. Great pitching tonight.
That was the best inning I’ve ever seen Pressly pitch.
Very good win.
3 strong starts in a row, .
Great job by Javier.
If I were retired, I’d have a victory cigar. But I have to work in the morning
Raley and Pressly looked determined to not fuck up Javier’s game.
Or maybe Christian let them know that coffee is for closers.
It takes brass balls to pitch on this team
He told them that 2 run leads are weak.
Raley was very good, and Pressly was his dependable self. Javier did a bunch better going 7, but I was really surprised his pitches were about 50-50 balls to strikes.
He was behind a lot of hitters and went deep into counts. The outcome last night was a good one, but he has to improve on that, IMO, if he want to consistently be a guy who goes deep into games.
I totally agree, HH. He constantly was climbing out of a 2-0 hole.
