[Official] Rays @ Astros

Greinke hitting 93

 

2 balks in two days turn costly. Yesterday's balk I understood but today's like most balk calls I have no idea what in the eff the umpire is seeing.

 

Of course they score on that suspicious balk.

 

Same ump that tossed JV, correct?

 

Yep, he's at 2B today. After Drake's ridiculousness last night, that's a total b.s. balk call.

 

Chirinos shockingly lays off a high 2-2 fastball, then absolutely ropes a ball off the scoreboard. He's been killing the ball this homestand (eta: 8-20, 4 2B, 2 HR)

 

Spendin' time on the Rake farm.

 

The fans at the game appear to be employing a shift this year. Unexpected. But analytical.

 

I really wanted to usurp the lead there, but I'm willing to take it legally if necessary. Springer lifting it out of here!

 

Altuve getting hosed on some high strike calls recently

 

I'd love to see the graphic on Altuve's vs Aaron Judge's strike zones.

 

Ump changed his whole AB with the bases loaded last night with a strike call that was 5 inches high on a 1-1 count.

 

Altuve leads the team in mental lapses.

 

He chose not to charge the ball, then doubled down by lollygagging the **** out of the throw.

eta: crappy pitch just got hammered, but the inning should have been over already.

 

Greinke is messing with our/his stats.

Get the W

 

He’s the Lance Berkman of this squad. Incredible player that just likes to do dumb **** every now and then.

And Tampa has capitalized almost every time they’ve been gifted an extra base or out.

 

He just wants to fast forward to October.

 

Astros are capable of coming back for the 3rd time but too many mistakes again

 

Greinke's made 2 really bad pitches, and they pulverized both of them.

 

Yeah we’ll still likely take this thing.
