Phillips gives them an extra out. That's bad news. Keep your glove on the ground, hoss.

And then the old lug redeems himself on the next pitch.

Nice double play.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And in case yall haven't noticed, Ozzie Albies is white hot down in AAA.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Freddie gets a single in his first AB back.

I was far more nervous about his first opportunity at third though.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Another leadoff double for the Astros...

 

[Demonjoe93]

No doubt we're gonna have to make this a shootout in order to win.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Down by 1.

But Freddie handled his first shot at third fine.

He would have had to be guarding to line to stop that double down the line.

 

[Chewbaccer]

No doubt we're gonna have to make this a shootout in order to win.

Yep. Dude making his 5th career start against the best offense in the Majors.

I'd say we need to score at least 7.

Bullpen better be ready.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Astros have broke this game open.

You can thank Brandon Phillips not charging a slow roller for this one.

 

[Chewbaccer]

You had to expect Newcomb would eventually have a rookie type outing, and no surprise it has came against these Astros, but this offense has a total of 1 hit through the first time through the order and they were in a slump the entire road trip. About time to snap out of it boys.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Short outing for Newcomb.

A lot of innings the bullpen has to cover tonight after having to cover a lot of innings in Oakland on Sunday.

Good thing we had the day off yesterday.

Bases loaded with 1 out.

You'd think every now and then back to back hitters would get under one and hit a routine fly ball or something, but not tonight.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Scumbag move to challenge that with a 7-0 lead.

And I bet they would have regretted getting ultra aggressive with a 7-0 lead if Correa would have hurt himself sliding head first into home trying to steal a run already up 7-0.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Go headhunting next inning.

Confirmed out at first and at home. Just delayed the game 5 minutes for that shit up 7-0.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Correa has to leave the game. Bet that retarded shit was worth it.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Astros are gonna get 20 tonight.

4 pitch walk to the pitcher right there.

And this game has long been out of reach, but it would be nice if the offense acted like it gave a damn and tried to get some momentum going for tomorrow.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Well guys....this was just a really good team coming in here and kicking our ass.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Astros are winning the WS.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Lets make it respectable

 

[Chewbaccer]

And I'm about over Phillips and Kemp sucking lately.

And I'm really about over our entire offense sucking.

And it's bad to say I know, but I hope Correa has to go on the DL. It'll teach him and the Astros manager a valuable lesson about picking your spots.

When you're up 7-0, your star player probably shouldn't be trying to steal a run, especially when you're out by a mile. And I hope the Astros manager chokes on a peanut today to teach him a lesson about wasting everyone's time with a 5 minute review up 7-0 when it's clear as day the calls on the field were right.
