Astros just went 7-4 vs Orioles, Phillies, & Royals which is great; they prob should’ve won a couple more (especially vs Os), but I’ll definitely take it
He kept hitting the bottom of the zone but the ump wasn’t calling it. Awful at bats for the Stros so far
Looks like singleton was rung up on a clear ball last inning, while at least 3 called balls in the bottom of the first clipped the zone (or were in the zone).
Lucky that option isn’t going to vest for Verlander. Hopefully they don’t fire Dana next month to let bagwell run baseball ops over the winter
Not sure why letting JV get through the 5 was necessary there, he was over 100 pitches and not in line for the win
Random day off tomorrow—think it was so that all teams were playing on Labor Day—but the Stros could all use a day. And then also hope that Bregman can come back Wednesday
just thankful this wasn’t someone else getting hurt, was still driving home from school and hadn’t checked game yet
Peña with another costly error even though they ruled it a hit. It should be 3-0 going into the second.
Yikes, Spencer must have been reading all the hype about him. Rookie of the month for August and all. But also have to wonder if he’s tipping pitches tonight at this point
