    pitcher's delivery takes a long time from the mound to Homeplate.

    Singles automatically turning into doubles with stolen bases is a huge problem that needs to be resolved by next season. Rather that involves moving Yainer off catcher or better coaching...it needs to be dealt with.

    Seattle Cleveland Toronto all win.

    Yankees comfortably ahead.

    We're obviously playing Boston.

    This could be an absolutely terrible night.

    Let's win this game.

    We must be leading the majors in negative stolen base differential.

    I think some of it is that until recently teams seldom ran so it wasn’t a priority for the Astros. Also the Astros philosophy is for the pitcher to focus on the batter. Diaz could certainly be better as well.

    Tough day when Seattle wins 1-0 and we lose on a shutout :(

    Short of a season ending injury, it isn’t going to be an “absolutely terrible night.”

    I would rather win to keep playing well but a loss is just one loss.

    Still need to focus on the much bigger picture. We need Arrighetti to end this game with a couple of solid innings here.

    Arighetti makes not getting another starter questionable.

    Astros 4 hits = no runs

    Boston 1 hit = 2 runs

    Baseball can be cruel

    spaghetti, you're scared to throw strikes.

    either that or you're unable to throw strikes. if that's the case, drive back down to sugarland. we're in august not may.

    Hard to be inactive for so long and jump back into being a great pitcher, but I am not encourage by the performance so far. I would say that Arrighetti should not be untouchable.

    Cruel? He’s walked 5 guys and hit another batter. He’s got no one to blame but himself.

    Unfortunately walks =runs. Control just hasn't been there. Not pitching that badly if it weren't for the walks.
