That slider was awesome.

We are gonna have to hit.

Get somebody up next inning.

Why rest Gunnar? We are facing a 16-5 pitcher.

 

Why not rest Gunnar?

I imagine if the game is close late he will end up in the game.

I agree, I don't think Baumann is going to fare well a third time through the Astros lineup.

The scoreless inning streak is over.

Followed by a fb floating up in the zone 3-0 count to Altuve for Brooks to admire.

He said he expected Gunnar to be 3B and will be great once he learns to throw one-handed instead of two (I think that’s what he said). Loves his bat.

And Mateo.

Thankfully Hyde put Mateo, Odor, Chirinos in the line up card too make sure that any rallys are short circuited.

[eddie83]

We can’t hit LHP thru 3.

I love when Brooks is in the booth. 

[eddie83]

Somebody up. Krehbiel.

I kinda do, except I’m anxious the whole time that he’s gonna say something gaffe-ish, just due to age and frailty. I want to think of him vital and with his great sense of humor and positivity and get so scared he’s gonna call someone the wrong name or something.

I expect that from Garceau and just roll my eyes. But don’t want it to happen to Brooks. 

[eddie83]

What a break.  Have a chance. 

[justD]

Can’t keep getting scoring opportunities against Valdez and not capitalizing. Gifts here, gotta score now!

[Spakman]

Veternosity!
