    It is funny in a sad way that statcast is mistaking Baez's fastball for a changeup

    I hate that the Astros don't have/don't use anyone to mop up blow outs. Taking 3 relievers to finish 3 innings with a 10-run lead (now 9) is weird.

    Emanuel's arm fell off, Bielak and Abreu had options which Baez and Raley do not, and Montero is hurt

    1. Don't touch balls in play ever

    2. Don't mess with foul balls that the Astros can catch

    3. Don't run on the field, naked or not

    4. Don't throw things on the field (especially the Californians and East Coasters)

    Yep it sucks. We didn't capitalize on the Sox kicking their ass and now they beat the Giants

    Of course! Once it's in the stands it's every man for himself.

    However, I don't know how to explain this to the riffraff without blowing their simple little minds.

    Raley looked good last night. More high leverage situations…says Dusty? ;)

    Ralph Garza was the king of mop up earlier this season, he was always able to go multiple innings and give the other guys rest. That was it though, any other situation he was ass.

    Did The Chronic win the stro poll? who could ever forget the romantic lyrics from " F wit Dre": "Gap in your teeth so my D has got to fit"

    But the beat was sick! I'm just glad my parents didn't understand the language at the time.

    Oh yeah good game, Stros.
