Watching Dallas Keuchel pitch for the Twins right now
so in hindsight...
Maton may have saved the game by walking Judge with the bases loaded...instead of trying to get him out
he knew his stuff was mediocre today

need the Angels to win vs. the Mariners
I look forward to the Angel report card tomorrow.
Don't know if this has been mentioned but next week is really weird in terms of scheduling
3 game series at home vs Angels
3 game series on the road at Miami
3 game series at home vs Mariners
Wonder what the logic was by MLB of breaking that up with an out of state trip

And rangers up 3-0…
And they get the A's this week.
This game is important for us
Their schedule gets tougher in Sept but they have an easy stretch right now.
That was epic bad today.
Wtf. Stanton just said dusty likes to play the hot hand….That's literally exactly opposite of his management style.
Did Mike Stanton just say that Dusty likes to play the "hot hand"?
Lonestar beat me to it.
Lonestar beat me to it.
Stanton doesn't know what dusty is doing either.
Maybe Stanton was talking about poker.
Josh Jung…fractured thumb. Slowly injuries are catching up to them.
Fan approved lineups scored 7 and 9 runs this series. Maybe Dusty does need help
Slightly concerning seeing Bregman and Abreu this series. We know their slumps are long and drawn out. We needed a unicorn game for Jake just to salvage this one

Sucks for him. That may cost him the ROY. And then the extra draft pick.
I have no idea why the union protects that POS. Angel needs to go do something else with his life.
It is frustrating to go 5-2 but lose a game and half in the standings. We've done our part in stacking series wins (and this split)
Sucks for them and him. I actually hate to see it. Would rather beat them at full strength altho I recognize that might not have happened.
We can obviously relate, especially Altuve.superaggie73 said:

Did anyone else notice kalas called that strikeout before the swing and miss
Announcers have been a split second ahead of video all year, for me,, especially noticeable when tk yells 'got him' on a strikeout

So to recap this game… we have seen the following
- 2 Jake Meyers homeruns (6RBI)
- Maldonado bomb
- the single worst relief appearance I can remember by an Astro in the last couple of years (Maton with 2 walks and a HBP to tie the game)
- one of the best regular season relief appearances by an Astro we've seen this year (France with 3.1 shutout innings)
- 12 Yankees left on base
- 13 strikes outs by Astros hitters
- 10 walks by Astros pitchers
- an Angel Hernandez special behind the plate all game
And still an inning to go
Technically still a baseball game the Astros won,, 13 free baserunners, wow. Wonder what the record is for most free baserunners and still won

Ryan Pressly was unavailable today, Dusty Baker said. Baker said Pressly is healthy, but said he’s “sore.”

Dusty: “I don’t know how many walks -- we had 11 or 12. We helped them, we helped us. I don’t know how many walks they had, but they had quite a few, too. This is one of those days where the plate is moving around on you. The plate wouldn’t be still. The game wore me out."

That pretty much sums up any game Angel calls
Hopefully Framber cruises and we don't have to use the leverage guys Tuesday
Can we appreciate Jake Meyers a little bit more? Not many MLB players have a 6 RBI game in their career…absolutely needed that today from an unexpected contributor
J.P. France was thrown into a bases-loaded jam in the fourth, escaped it, and wound up throwing 3 1/3 innings for the win in relief. pic.twitter.com/AHil12i0Wr

It's like his comparison of Maldy to Diaz.Bregxit said:
We walked 12, they walked 5. Not even close lol.
Not gonna lie. I have hated plenty of times but he went out and killed it today.

After today's game he's probably about a league average player with elite CF defense. He's second to Julio in OAA in way fewer attempts. He might end up a 2.5-3 WAR player being a part time OFer.

Astros might be able to use him in a trade for a reliever in the offseason.
Angels in a tail spin. Man they were complete idiots for not trading Ohtani.
Mariners (60-52) finish the 4-game sweep of the Angels
not a good development for the Astros
could use some help from the Padres while the 'stros are in Baltimore

And Seattle is 3.0 games back of the last WC, 2.0 back in the loss column. Of course they are making this ground up at the expense of the Angels so who knows if it's real or just good luck.
