Not one mention of Bregman so far in the 10-minute pre-game. Maybe they talked about it in the real half-hour pre-game.

Gave up a hit on the second batter, but threw him out anyway.

Trip Gibson your home plate ump tonight, folks.

Lopez k’s swinging on three pitches. 1 out.

(Is this Brian Bogusevic paired with Robert Ford tonight? Wasn’t Bogusevic on the pregame show? Time will tell.)

Robert, like a player on a team on an epic losing streak will do, singles off the scoreboard in left and is gunned down at second 7-4. 2 out.

Benintendi grounds out 4-3. Three up, three down.

3 up, 3 down in the Astros 1st. At least no pop outs …

Altuve pops up Crochet’s first pitch to left. Easy-peasy.

Yordan grounds out 3-1.

(Ford breaches the subject of Bregman. Raise your hand if you believe he hurt his elbow by sleeping funny.)

Diaz k’s swinging. Donezo in the first.

I’d rather see a call 3rd strike than that swing, Yainer!!

8 pitch first inning for Yarn worthy Crot chet (Pronounce how ya want)

Maybe he hurt it before he fell asleep.

Last I checked the Astros were the most aggressive team in baseball this year. I haven’t heard or seen this discussed much this year for whatever reason.

Arrighetti needs to throw that FB up in the zone.

We seem to do well against good teams, but piss ourselves against bad ones.

Thought we’d fixed that?

Looks like the unintentional intentional walk
Need GIDP - Cmon

too much to hope for an inning-ending DP?

Fuck.

Grrr…

Gotta catch the fucking ball
