    Is it too soon to state in a public forum that I would totally have J.D Martinez's baby were there not biological impossibilities involved?

    This is a weird game. I don't think it's too often we see JA Happ have two walks in one game.

    big double play. Back to back quality starts from JA Happ is an encouraging sign.

    I'm fine with the first take. Sanchez struggled with his control all day, had just walked freakin' JA Happ... on a 3-1 count with the bases loaded, I like Schafer's patience in that scenario. That said, you have to be more aggressive when it gets to 3-2. That one was bad.

    Wonder how long we'll have to wait for the first Chris Johnson walk of the season. Swung at a couple of clear ball fours there, including the K. Stands out more because there's a significant improvement everywhere else in terms of plate discipline.

    Altuve's 2nd near HR that would have been out in most parks that I recall this season.

    Sigh... bases loaded and zero runs again. Nice shot from Altuve though.

    With that, the Astros are 0-10 with the bases loaded.

    We can't complain a lot this time, considering it all came with two outs. :) Surprising to see Lowrie K there, considering he usually mashes lefties, but he's still getting his feet under him.

    By the way, I don't care that he's left-handed - I don't want to see Wesley Wright pitching, even for one batter, in the eighth inning with a lead. Come on, Brad. You know better.

    Astros are in the top five in hitting. Not bad for a team that shouldn't even be able to beat the astros =)

    now they just have to capitalize on those bases loaded.

    Really a bad one. Keep Wright for actual lefty's. Don't waste everybody's time for him trying to get out a right handed hitter or switch hitter.

    Now just like that its tied... what a waste.

    Ok I'm just now noticing this, but the Astros don't have the player name on the back of their jerseys...neither do the Marlins for that matter. I guess teams are trending that way now?

    Did you notice they're all wearing #42 too? ;)

    Jackie Robinson day. None have their names on the back.
