West has to be getting sleepy...way past his bed time. How MLB is still dependent on geriatric umpires is beyond me. You wouldn't trust these guys to keep an eye on your pet... yet they're in charge of calling games where millions are spent.
Top of the order looked like......the bottom of the order. No name Seattle pitchers looking like Hall of Famers.
Well, yeah, that's the thing. You can't take a pitch that close with an inconsistent ump behind the plate. You have to defend. Tuve was set on walking instead of handling each pitch as it came. Stupid. Brantley, geez. If you can't walk off with those three at the plate...
Ben and Jerry's is coming out with an ice cream to tackle this Astros walk off drought. Over the summer, the truck already stopped in each major league city giving out thousands of free scoops.
8 strikeouts in 9 at bats... how? How can entirely different batters, many of them good to great hitters, all get fooled by the same terrible pitchers one after the other? And all that after striking out what, all of 1 time the entire game prior???
