Adrianza, Gonzalez, and Castro - no Buxton in center and the turtle in right - against Verlander in support of Stewart. Not enough that Stewart has to pitch against the Houston lineup, eh? Good Luck, Kohl. You will need it.

 

Yeah not too thrilled about this "getaway day" lineup. If you're going to play Adrianza...play GarvSauce at catcher. If you're going to play Castro, at least take Gonzalez out of the lineup, etc.

The rubber game.   So named in the hope that we bounce back.   Rubber was originally made from a tree in india i think. But when synthetics started, maybe it got made in Cleveland, and they could be h

Marwin now 0-for-9 in the series.   0-for-15 going back to the double-header in Baltimore.   Batting .150. If anyone needed a break today, it was Marwin I think.

Boy does Stewart work slow. If he keeps nibbling like this it's going to be a long night for this kid.

 

If he keeps throwing 20 pitches an inning he is going to have tough time making it through 5 innings.

What a band box - between Minute Maid and Yankee Stadium I'm not sure which is more of a whiffle-ball park. At some point MLB should put restrictions on just how short these dimensions can be. Heck, Rosario even hit a lazy fly ball the other day that went out.

So..... is it a mistake if the batters (Cron and Gonzalez) don't get a hit? Or only a mistake if they take it out of the park (Correa)?

speeding is a traffic offense regardless of getting pulled over and ticketed, no? We just skirt with a few miles over here and there and hope we don’t get caught.

 

Verlander didn’t get caught, Stewart did.

But you always hear from the pitchers..... or the managers.... "I liked how I pitched. I only made those two mistakes. The rest was just great...."

 

And no.... only speeding if you get ticketed. The rest is driving with the others in the flow.

Pretty clear the Twins rolled over and gave this game to the Astros last night as soon as Altuve hit that HR.

Ooof, wheels coming off.

 

At least the Audra Martin got a ride on the train.

 

 

I've seen a lot of games Berrios pitched that he has given up 3 runs by the end of the 3rd. Somehow this doesn't feel the same.
