Caratini was gonna be Gilbert’s last hitter.
Top of the order due up for the Mariners
Robles flies out on the first pitch
Rodriguez down on strikes.
Rodriguez is kind of douchey.
Kind of spoiled. Took him 3 pitches for that out after 2 outs on 2 pitches.
This is lights out Abreu
In retrospect, I’m kinda glad Espada brought in Abreu.
Great 4 out hold for Abreu!
Raleigh grounds out 4-3
That’s the Bad Muthafucker Abreu we all know and love
At the Stretch…4-3 Astros
He threw 10 pitches, all of them strikes.
Considering the situation, that was right up there with Abreu’s outing against the A’s a few weeks ago.
Some of us never didn’t.
Lets get after Thornton
Here’s what I am doing:
“Bryan, one more?”
He probably still has enough in the tank to start the eighth if Espada was so inclined.

Here’s what I am doing:
“Bryan, one more?”
That was my thought. Let him start the eighth.
I just want a bigger Astros lead.
Peña down on sliders
Heyward lines out to 1B
