7/5 GDT: Houston Astros (57-27) vs. Atlanta Braves (40-42); Dansby's Day Off Edition

[USMA76]

Oh, well, we made it a game for a couple of innings in this two game set against Houston...sigh.

 

[msstate7]

Strugg... now that's one where I don't think Swanson gets him

 

[Julio3000]

Damn, Camargo can git 'em.

 

[USMA76]

Camargo's got a howitzer--fun to watch.

 

[Garmel]

Motte has given up 6 runs in his last inning of work.

Normalizing. His FIP is over 5.

 

[msstate7]

FF making plays

 

[Tapate50]

Is attendance up? Better crowd tonight?

 

[USMA76]

FF making plays

I can't say he looks fluid at his new position but he's making the plays he should be making.

 

[Enscheff]

That was a legit play by FF

 

[The Tariff King]

We'd be a playoff team if Fredi were managing with this roster.

Snitker is clueless.

 

[thethe]

Scary to think that tonight's astros team is without their best player.

 

[msstate7]

Swanson can't touch camargo's arm, but Swanson has better range

 

[thethe]

Is attendance up? Better crowd tonight?

Schools out. Attendance will be up for the next two months. Happens every year in Atlanta and almost every other town.

 

[Julio3000]

Criminy, this team hits the ball 200mph on the reg.

 

[Enscheff]

Are the Astros asleep when they lose? Hard to imagine them losing any other way.

 

[msstate7]

Boston will give Houston all they want in playoffs.

 

[Enscheff]

Did Twitker let Freeman throw a pitch to Beregman before he realized Devenski was on deck and they should walk Bregman?

 

[Enscheff]

Adams down to .872. I guess msstake7 would have won the bet since he isn't all the way down to .850 by Thursday.

Guess that won't happen until after the Nats series is over.

 

[USMA76]

Did Twitker let Freeman throw a pitch to Beregman before he realized Devenski was on deck and they should walk Bregman?

Yep, it took a second to wake up Snitker, hence the one pitch delay.

 

[Garmel]

That's what you call a changeup.
