GDT: White Sox vs. Astros, 7/5/2018

[bannedfan]

Yeah don’t EVER send the runners AJ. Good grief. Station to station baseball.

[astrosdoug]

Two baserunners in each inning and can't bring a single man home.

[astrosdoug]

Narvaez has thrown out 11 of 45 base stealers this year. 76% success rate for the runners. Good enough to try the double steal in my opinion.

Lost all his hair. Great guitarist.

Should have tried the Double steal, as usual, another DP by the DP machine

Bono and Bowie had the best mullets

[bannedfan]

Nice play Yuli.

[astrosdoug]

White has reached base safely in darn near 50% of his PAs since coming up.

[bannedfan]

Cy Rondon on the hill

That last swing from Jake was the Chris Carter signature swing.

Would like to see a Chris Carter shoe with that swing as a silhouette.  And the ball past him

I can't wait for Springer to get another out! I'm so excited to see how he does it this time

Will it be a popup, k, ground out?

[astrosdoug]

If the Astros can make this Rodon's last inning, they will get to the rather soft pen for 3-4 innings.

First pitch out for the 2nd time.

Groundout to third it is... First pitch. No reason to up the pitchers pitch count at all.

[astrosdoug]

If George can't hit, the least he can do is make Rodon up that pitch count.

A little more patience tonight from George could have Rodon at 85 pitches now instead of 77.

[astrosdoug]

Mauling the bullpen a bit tonight will also help set up the next 3 games.

[koolade2]

Nice Double for Bregman

[Deleted]

Atta boy Jose!

[bannedfan]

A bomb!!!!!

2-0.

[koolade2]

Altuve coming around. 2 Walks and HR can't ask for any more than that.

[bearbryant]

Tuve got power

[Deleted]

That was Pujols territory

[Deleted]

Nobody on, I bet he doesn't hit a groundball

[unionstation82]

Gattis needs to crush the ball like he used to.

[Deleted]

Wow tie game again.

[astrosdoug]

Clipboard says JV gets 14 more pitches "no matter what"

[bannedfan]

Verlander gives it right back.

[astrosdoug]

White has now reached base in 13 of his 26 major league PAs this year.

At AAA, he pulled off the difficult feat of having more walks than strikeouts. So far, he is doing the same with the Astros (7 BB, 5 K)
