There is probably going to be a lot of furniture rearranged before this game is over. Maybe some airborne meatballs too.

Sit down A-aron.

48

Never waste a meatball.

49

At 92 pitches and settled down, we will likely see Garcia in the 6th.

Top 5 (Garcia pitching)

Locastro: Grounds out 6-3 on an 0-1 count
Higashioka: singles past Pena to left field
Judge: 0-1 on a nasty slider just off the outside corner, 0-2 on the same pitch just a bit further off the plate, strikes out looking on a fastball up and away
Torres: flies out to McCormick in front of the Boxes, inning over

5-2 Astros

51

Bielak in to try to save the pen a few innings.

52

Bottom 5 (Sears still pitching)

Bregman: flies out to Stanton in the LF corner on an 0-1 count
Tucker: Grounds out 4-3 on an 0-1 count
Meyers: Grounds out 5-3 on an 1-0 count

Six pitch inning, still 5-2 Astros

53

Dammit. 0-2 to leadoff walk

54

I guess when you’re the 27th man, you don’t get the full strike zone.

55

Wonder if he might have gotten the call for ball4 if the 3 balls were a little more competitive.

56

Possibly. You get more calls when you’re around the plate. But that was a strike every day of the week.

57

Name that Astro…Geoff Blum!

58

Geez…HPU has just given up

59

Black bears?

I do believe Matt Carpenter has fully pissed me off.
