Hader doesn't throw 99 any more. Not real stellar location with less velo.

That GS was a foot inside. Hard to put that one on Hader IMO.
Put it in Correa's ear hole. Only one run.
Seems like that was the goal on that one.
Praying for good news for Altuve.

Gave up 12 runs, including 7 in the 9th and still get the win.
What a wild one
Baltimore scored 11 runs...including 7 in the 8th
and the Astros still won
So Joe needed to keep Contreras in the game?kb2001 said:No, having to bring Hader in after being up 8 runs in the 9th inning is on Joeiamtheglove said:So the win is on Joe?_veeyah_ said:
Chas needed to use that fence!
But this one is on Joe. Contreras was gassed!! And he still left him in there
Weirdest game of the year. Bullpen game, Altuve plunked, Luperfido's catch, giving up 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th and still winning.
Hader just wanted to make it a save situation first.
Too much drama but i'll take it especially against Pablo who's owned us. Need another good start by Hunter tomorrow.

Astros are 21-9 since June 1st
Any scrub major league reliever should be able to hold onto an 8-run lead in the 9th. This one is not on Joe.
Ok. Bad 9th aside…
46-42 and 1.5 GB of Seattle pending their game tonight.
6-2 on the roadie and a guaranteed winning record on the trip.
Lots of losses tonight. Royals. Yanks. Twins and Indians. So all in all a pretty good night.

An X-ray on Jose Altuve came back negative, Joe Espada said. It’s a left hand contusion, Espada said.

slightly off-topic...
the Astros should be able to fly home Sunday night...before the storm hits -- right?
Monday is an off-day

We should expect he'll be back sometime before September

Hopefully better than the "contusion" Tucker has
Rub some dirt on it and try not to get hit tomorrow, Jose.
(Before anyone gets butthurt, that's referring to the Twins pitchers' lack of control.)

Altuve knows there's no crying in baseball. He will be back soon.
The stros fan against the wall at the end of the 1st base line sure had a night.

CATCH OF THE YEAR?!

Eh, not that inside upon review.
Anyone who knows Correa knows you throw him low and outside, he can't layoff it and can't hit it there

Try to ask about how the ninth went, Joe acts like it's all good. Hopefully this is just coach speak and he learns something. Yeah they won, but...
Too bad Jace wasn't in LF, it could've just been an F7
A PSA for you assholes that think it’s fun to cheer Jose Altuve getting beaned pic.twitter.com/FqheTmhL3B

NSFW warning.
Jose Altuve: “It feels better. … See how it feels tomorrow but I think it’ll be fine.”

What exactly should he learn? Even a AAAA guy should be able to get 3 outs with an eight run lead...
What is there to learn? Hire a gypsy to look into the future to see beforehand if a major league reliever can hold an 8 run lead in the bottom of the ninth? This one isn't on Joe. A pitcher imploded. It happens. It's baseball.

When he's obviously out of gas, maybe pull him before he gives up the last two runs. Also it's kinda on the front office for running a bullpen game out there instead of calling up a fifth starter. What in the hell do they do if it goes to extras? Send Grae out there to pitch?
linkdude said:

What we should learn is that it would have better to spend $95M on a few more quality bullpen guys than a single overrated one
Tell that to Jim lol

I was wondering if Yordan had stayed in the game, if he could have caught that, given the height advantage he has over Chas.
Jose Altuve said he feels better and didn’t rule out playing tomorrow, which is a day game. pic.twitter.com/fzs9xIQbHq

Thanks, and Gig 'Em!
Benches have cleared between these two teams in the past recently. Won't be surprised if they do again tomorrow.
Glad we picked up all those insurance runs.
