    What's with Blum's leisurely jogs to first base? I know your 99% out on that play but at least run hard and show some hustle man.

    Oh no, it's Villareal. I'll be happy if we get out of this innings just 2 runs behind

    Villareal must be hands down worst pitcher in the MLB right now.

    By a long way

    Did I miss something? Did Wandy get injured? Because 79 pitches in 4 innings. I can't understand why he's not out there unless something happened when I went to the crapper.

    No idea why he's come out tbh. Only gave up 1 earned run in those 4 innings. He loaded up the bases last time but even a shaky Wandy is better than Villareal surely?

    But how is that the fan know it and the manager seem to be unaware of it. There are things that I dont understant in baseball. :confused:

    Well if the guy's on the payroll, I suppose the manager has to use him for now. What I don't understand is why he didn't eat innings last night in a dead game instead of using Borkowki and then bringing Vilareal in to give up the lead tonight

    The starting pitcher only went 0.2 innings yesterday and Villareal didn't pitch. You have to go with what you got.

    That's why I thought Coop would pitch him last night when the game was essentially over. If you want him to work through his problems, let him do it when the game isn't on the line.

    He did recover well though.

    Can't believe Bourn had to bail Lee out on that play!

    I know we have the luxury of replay, but that's a BS call. And a man on 2nd with no outs would have been huge.

    That's so dishonest from Spilborghs too. He obviously knew that he'd dropped it but did a first class job of jumping up with it in his hand and conning the refs

    lol...what did you want him to do? it was a smart play on his part. he realized the refs probably didn't have the angle to see it so all he had to do was sell it. i blame the astros. they are just bad luck at times...to the point of it rubbing off on those around them. lol
