Bautista came into the game with 17 straight scoreless innings over his last 14 appearances. He's the best closer in all of baseball.
I stopped watching in the fourth inning. My wife wanted to me watch a movie with her. It is awful, really awful. I come back here to read the postmortem. What a shock. O.K., I am going to say it. Maybe the most important win of the year regardless of the standings.
That is why you always have your phone with you when watching a movie and turn on ESPN/MLB alerts of the game.
astros love doing this type of thing which is breaking down records like this. in the back of my mind I swear when Altuve got his hit, I thought to myself the Astros are about to win it against the best closer in baseball Bautista. didnt know it'd come from a grand slam though
you should have told her we gotta pause this movie because this game is LIVE and the Astros are coming back. she would have understood. mine does lmao. wont be the last astros thriller though, we know that
I stopped watching in the 6th - every time the Astros are down and I leave, they seem to come back (you're welcome). I'll gladly eat crow on this win - hope it sparks a long win streak! In the meantime, bat chas 5th Diaz 6th and put Abreu in 7th.
All credit to Dusty Baker for allowing Framber to pitch 7 innings vs yanking him early when he gave up that 6th run. He became his own long reliever in a sense. Kept us in the game. In reality 2 bad pitches led to 4 of the runs. And we know the Tucker drop led to 3 of the runs.
Can anyone else play first base, so Abreu can sit or go to hitting school and get a shirt with buttons.
So for the first time ever I saw Tucker say something as he was rounding the bases after a home run. Anybody catch what he said to our dugout as he rounded 3rd base?
Astros 6-2 since learning Justin Verlander was once again a member of this team. Play at that clip the rest of the season and the Astros would end up with 101 wins.
I missed the part of the game that had this Tucker drop. I see in the box score all 6 runs were earned and no Astros errors. Should there have been an error?
