[Official] Brewers @ Astros

I'm not privy to those discussions.

 

Tough to blow a game you're already losing.

 

got back from the game a little while ago just wanted to give it up to the fans chanting "you suck" to the 1st base ump

good work!

 

LOL yep.. I was at the game too and was fortunate enough to get it on video.. by far the coolest thing Houston fans have ever been able to achieve .. the wave thing was pretty cool too after everyone caught on..

I can't believe how loud and clear the chant was.. that r****d of an umpire pissed off all those people.. the guy was out by a frickin miles, BOTH TIMES (the last 2 that is, the first one was pretty close) ..

all in all, happy times.. ate 6 hotdogs (1 dollar hotdog night) and got sick..

I will post the video as soon as youtube "processes" it..

the "you suck" chants start halfway through the vid.. enjoy!

 

Ben Sheets pitching against the Astros tonight. That's almost akin to an automatic loss.

 

It's still early...

 

didn't we beat him last time we faced them in milwaukee???

 

IIRC Sheets beat us last go round.

 

wow... im bad luck or something. the second i turn on the TV. homerun, almost homerun and another homerun.

 

I always look forward to day games, but this one is not starting out too well at all

 

Did someone secretly move in the fences, or what?

 

Ugh, can this get any worse...who is going to be the next to toss some gas on the fire?!?

 

I can't remember the last time an Astros team that has been so privy to giving up the home run. What the hell is wrong with these pitchers. And not only are they susceptible to the long shot but they all (even Roy) have been prone to allow a big inning.


And it looks like this team is on pace to continue their streak of winning the first game of the series but losing the next two.

 

Are the Astros approaching some kind of MLB and/or team record for HRs allowed in a season? I'm serial.

 

The NL record for homeruns in a season is 230 (2001 Rockies). The MLB record is 241 (1996 Tigers).

The most allowed by an individual Astro (and the NL record) is Jose Lima in 2000, with 48.

Assuming we don't give up anymore home runs today, we'll have allowed 95 homeruns in 67 games. That would put us on pace for 230 home runs allowed (ok, 229.7) -- tying the NL record, but short of the MLB record.

Brandon Backe is not too far behind Jose Lima's 2000 pace for HR's allowed per inning, but Lima time threw nearly 200 innings that season. Oscar Villarreal is well ahead of Lima in terms of HR/IP, but there may be other relievers who have put together a similar pace.

 

Our starting pitching rocks!!!

 

And Valverde puts the Astros on pace to set a new NL Record!

 

Wandy Rodriguez is our best starting pitcher.

 

Our 1 out of 3 trend continues. Keep up the good work guys. Blow those games any way possible
