This! That was solid. But nobody saves anybody, really. There's a couple of hundred plays every game that could affect the outcome either way. Big series with the Evil Empire coming up.
The Astros also need to work on their getting to first base via catcher's interference. They haven't gotten to first once via the CI.
Why are people lambasting Gomez's steal to home attempt? I thought it was a good idea the way Kershaw was pitching. His only mistake was waiting too long to start running--I'm pretty confident he would have been safe he had he started even a second sooner.

^^^Damn, was he injured? There was a player (not an Astro) ~20 years who shattered his knee when his leg bent waaay backwards on a similar play.
lol what about that collision of jd martinez and maxwell too watch the ball drop for a hit. who is mike vernon? he has a couple of good ones on his feed.
Guessing Stassi, Thatcher, Straily <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Luhnow told <a href="https://twitter.com/raford3">@raford3</a> Astros will bring up C, LH reliever and long man on Sept. 1, rest of call ups wait until Minor League playoffs over</p>— Brian McTaggart ⚾️ (@brianmctaggart) <a href="https://twitter.com/brianmctaggart/status/635584344870940672">August 23, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
I would hope they bring back Tucker and Fields, too. Edit: Also, Thatcher is not on the 40. The lefty would either be Luis Cruz or Brett Oberholtzer. I forgot how long ago Oberholtzer was sent down
So for those Dodger fans...what does Friers have to do with any of the two losses? NOTHING! So now what's the excuse for being swept!? Zero excuses! Now just win the 1 run games on the road! Go Stros.
Oh, ****, he was kidding? Sealclubber, please accept my sincere apology for my stupidity. Got caught up in the moment.
Stassi is the only easy choice there. Other 2, well, Thatcher should be the best pitcher to help, but not in the 40 men roster, so probably is going to be Chapman instead. Long man, probably is going to be between Straily or Obbie.
