Good. God. We ground into so many rally killing double plays

Pretty cool exchange between Hinch and Altuve on that pop up.

Damn another gidp

Another GIDP.

And yeah, Jessica Mendoza is annoying as hell. Honestly, one of my biggest pet peeves in sports is listening to national guys call games of local teams that I obsessively watch.

I absolutely hate taking the bat out of Correa's hands, but given our bad luck with GIDPs this year, I would've been totally fine Carlos bunting there and playing for 1 more run. 3-0 in the 9th would feel a whole lot better than 2-0

That article about Mike Trout posted the other day was interesting about one of the reasons he's been so dominant this year is that he either makes good contact or misses the ball. For instance, that last pitch to Correa would've had a better outcome if he misses instead of a weak grounder to short.

It's all the little things

Just saw this StatsInc tweet:

When #Astros have runners on first and second with nobody out, they hit into double play a major league record 100% of the time
Harry Dunne

That was interesting, but don't you think that's just luck?

It's not like when he swings he knows he's going to miss and plans to whiff completely.

Yeah obviously a lot of that has been luck. But such a minor little thing like barely making contact or missing entirely can make such a big difference.

He has already been warming up before they brought on Olsen, so I guess why not.

Wonder what his ERA is without that craptastic start MIN.

Tough play there for Kemp but not his best read

Yeah it was. I was just talking about his overall ERA this year and not necessarily his ERA at MMP.

Broadcast crew makes a good point. 2 outs and down 2 and the defense shifts, giving you an easy base hit if you can lay down a bunt towards 3rd? How can you not try the bunt?

Another clean save for Giles since punching himself in the face

Also, 30th win. 3rd in MLB (but 3rd in the AL). On pace for 101.

I remember hearing they basically told him he needed to get his emotions under control more. If that's the trick, I hope it sticks.
