the Astros run scoring output per game in 8 contests vs. Seattle this season:
6, 5, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 0
the 6-run game was started by Castillo. The 5-run game by Marco

Would love to see the vets step up and institute a clubhouse fine for anybody who swings and misses at ball 4 with a 3 ball count. Maldy would give up half his salary every game. He might beg Dusty to sit him just to save some money.

Just hope we don't get swept at this point
Mariners are just gonna be those dudes this season. They have our number and we have no answers to their starting pitching
And prey to all the gods we don't catch them in a 3 game WC series
You say no answers for their starting pitching, but they aren't even trying to find answers. Just keep doing the same thing over and over. Not even trying to change it up and go the other way.
Think the Yankees would take a manager swap right now? I think Boone has the brain cells to rub together to not catch Maldy 70% of the time and play Mauricio Dubon in center because reasons.
Oh and he seems to be actually lucid and invested in the outcome when his team gets screwed.

I swear anytime the rangers **** up we cannot take advantage, we are gifting them the division right now
They have been doing that for a month. They mostly have another 2 weeks of it before it turn on them.
Hoping Brewers don't completely meltdown.
The brewers are terrible
Ballgame, whew
At least the Rangers lost
408 to CF to end the game for Seager...fly out.
We're contractually obligated to only win when they do.

It's actually become comical at this point. Feels like we win and lose on the same days.
Think our concern at this point is fully the Mariners, and we've done it to ourselves.
Just got home from game it was like we mailed it in. No spark to night.
Pete Alonso chucked Masyn Winn's first career hit into the stands 😅

Crappy move
Dusty Baker said Jon Singleton will play first base tomorrow night with Framber Valdez on the mound, but Yainer Diaz should still DH with Yordan Alvarez likely getting the start in LF

That’s how much we’ve scored the last 7 games. We’re either laughing or crying.
Shut out again, geez. Reeaally need to take the series and get over this hump. I'm more concerned about making the postseason than winning the West at this point.
Again, Dusty is a ****ing moron.

We lead the league in getting balls thrown at us called strikes. Today didn't help. Jesus.
Is this due to Maldy's terrible pitch framing or a genuine bias against the Astros?
Maybe both?

Why in the world did they send the runner from third there? No reason whatsoever.

Wow
A first baseman playing first base
When will Dusty start playing a real catcher?
Missed the game tonight. How bad was it?

Pete Alonso says he feels "terrible" for throwing the ball from Masyn Winn's first hit into the stands: pic.twitter.com/KCAsECWK84
Get the word out and buy that ball back from the fan.
Lucky it was a home game and not in NY.
Pretty flimsy excuse by Alonso. Why would he have chunked it that far in middle of an inning? Doubt you'll find many times he's done that.

Probably because they are playing the Angels, who suck at everything.spadilly said:🚨 TRIPLE PLAY 🚨#GoHalos pic.twitter.com/K5AtYviWWi

The Angels become the first team since the 1857 Albuquerque String Beans to hit a grand slam and turn a triple play in an extra innings loss. It was the night cap of a double header. They blamed the loss on not being able to see, as it was before the invention of the lightbulb.

I have watched a lot of baseball and I don't think I have ever seen a pitcher throw a ball into the stands in the middle of an inning

Don't worry you can see an encore tonight with Gilbert pitching
Maldy doesn't frame pitches when we are at bat. The original post was about when we are at the plate. So to answer your question, check out umpire scorecard. You can search by team, and you will find that in general, we get screwed more often than not. Not sure if it's a bias or not, but the data is there.AggiEE said:Ciboag96 said:

Seems umpires have really been picking on Bregman this year. He is known to be a guy with a sharp eye for the strike zone, and on many occasions, it seems an ump has decided to remind him who has control of it.
