Good game to build Pressly's confidence.

But don't bring him in with 2 runners on....[yet]

Great job Pressly. That was fun to watch. Greinke with a gem!

ASTROS WIN!!

Jesus

WE WON!!!!

This is an incredible catch from Mookie...

Damn and it won the game.

Click needs to have a talk with Dusty.

don't want Pressly's 2022 vesting option to kick in.

he's not a $10 MM reliever

Disagree. Pressly will be fine. I hope he vests.

ZG was magnificent. He carries this squad. We need the rest to step up while we're short handed.

Thanks for posting. Sorry I didn't making through the night

It really was, and shocked it'd even be as high as 10% probability. But really not sure if he actually caught it. Kind of looked like the ball was half on the heel of his glove and half in the grass.

April 18, 1986: Astros 6, Reds 4
Attendance: 26,126 @ Riverfront Stadium, Time of Game: 2:38
6-3, 1st place in the NL West, game ahead of San Francisco and San Diego

Astros Starting Lineup
Doran 2B
Puhl RF
Garner 3B
Davis 1B
Bass CF
Walling LF
Bailey C
Thon SS
Scott P

Mike Scott recaptured his winning form 1985 for the first time in 1986, pitching 8- innings and striking out nine as the Astros ran their road win streak to three and took over first place for the first time. They would be in first place for 135 days total in 1986, although they wouldn't take over the spot for good until July 19.
Scott was backed up by the incredibly torrid bat of Phil Garner, who went 2-for-4 and hit a first-inning home run off Mario Soto to get the Astros on the board first. Down 2-1 in the top of the fourth, the Astros tied things up when Kevin Bass scored on a Bo Diaz passed bal, and Alan Ashby followed with a two-run jack. They made it 5-2 in the fifth when Glenn Davis scored Bill Doran on a sacrifice fly and Terry Puhl scored on a throwing error by Reds' center fielder Eric Davis. Walling added a solo home run in the top of the sixth. Nick Esasky hit a two-run homer with 1 out in the ninth to cut the lead to 6-4, so Dave Smith came in to get the last two outs and preserve the win.

I guess having the worst record in the AL really takes all the motivation to keep playing out of you

Back in the day I was always thinking he'd end up playing for the Astros one day.

Ummm... why is TED losing?

Recency bias, I'd wager

Because most of the people voting grew up watching Griffey and probably have never seen a Ted Williams at bat.

1949 TED vs 1997 Griffey are those the best years?

We lost some really intriguing prospects in that trade (still worth it IMO).

JB and Seth Beer are two I'm really interested to see if they pan out. I think Corbin Martin will be a 3-4 starter at best if he gets back to the bigs

Also easier to find a corner OF than CF. That said, Griffey had 2 9 WAR seasons while Ted had 4 11 WAR seasons. The correct answer between the two is easily Ted. Given choice of any OF in their prime I'm going with Mantle though.

Odd that we are two hours from first pitch and no lineup is posted yet. Mariners lineup is posted.

Pretty young outfield today
