Nats up 7-2 on the Rangers, bottom of the 8th
Swing early, make a right hand turn to the dugout.

Frustrating to say the least to watch our pitchers have a good clean inning to start and then watch our bats give up two quick outs on three pitches
"It's just another corps trip boys, we'll march in behind the band"
Great job bregman and dubon
at least Tucker had a decent at-bat
9 pitch inning with only one legit at bat
"It's just another corps trip boys, we'll march in behind the band"
We're getting more patient. We made him throw 7 pitches that inning.
Edit: I may have mis-counted but it was single digits.

super athletic catch by Chas
Chaz!
Plus he knew his park and where he was in it. Very nice.W said:

the Mariners have gone 6 up and 6 down
but made Bielak throw 30 pitches to get those 6 outs
that's what the Astros used to do

Swung at 3 pitches well out of the zone but good result

Are they thinking a rehab assignment or straight back to the club for Yordan?
Rangers lose. Let's get to 1 GB
I hope straight back
the Astros need him

Good at bat by Chas

Chas drops a single into CF
Need a pena popper please
Yuck

Gilbert looks like he's about 58 and smokes 3 packs a day while hanging out at the bar of the local bowling alley.
We have to lead the stat for GIDP. It's unreal how often we do it.
GiDP for Pena
been a disappointing 1st half offensively
OPS down to .706

We've all said it a thousand times, but I'm so tired of seeing Pena specifically hacking away at the first pitch. He never gets anything good to swing at. I'd tell him to watch the first pitch no matter what to see it coming out of the pitcher's hand and to get his timing right. I'd honestly even tell him to watch the first 2 pitches. If he gets down 0-2 then whatever, it'll help him in the long run
Grae Kessinger, who is apparently the Astros' emergency catcher, is warming up Brandon Bielak between innings.

Always wondered who the emergency catcher was
the hitting coaches have not been able to help Pena improve from last year
Good job working around the one out double.
nobody strands 'em like Bielak
Meyers starting the inning off strong….oh wait
Jake first pitch swinging with his .682 OPS
sigh

Does this team get a bonus or something if they swing at the first pitch?
8 pitches. If there is a stat kept off innings of under 10 pitches I would bet $100 we would lead it by a mile.

They are swinging the bats like it is the last game of the season instead of the last game before the All-Star Break.
