Rockies @ Astros, August 17, 2020

Arenado rips a ball foul 0-1, late on a FB 0-2, takes a FB way up/out 1-2 (Strom out to discuss things), flies out F8

Murphy takes a FB 0-1, slider low 1-1, flies out F8

Lord have mercy, Rob Drake. That 1-1 pitch was 6 inches outside.

Winner winner

Miles Straw, greatest CF ever!

yay, home team!

Tapia takes a high FB 1-0, misses another 1-1, takes a ball outside for a strike 1-2, fouls a slider, flies out F8

Astros win 2-1.

2 hits allowed.

Well done, pitching staff.

Nice job by Taylor through the tough part of that order.

Two hits. The Rockies got two hits…the home run and then the infield single in the 9th.

Hey! I am a Regular!!!

So one final thought on last night’s game:

We’ve all given Josh James a hard time lately, deservedly so. But last night he did a really nice job at a critical point in the game. He issued the 2-out walk, which is never a good idea, but give him props for the way he attacked the next hitter, Story. No fucking around, no nibbling, just attacked and carved him up on three pitches. If only he could do that more often…
