GDT: Astros vs. Giants. 8/6/2018

Go oppo into the bay, Bregs.

[m240]

we got a couple of good swings on this guy but he is settled in.  This inning is a real danger zone for Morton.  

[unionstation82]

Bregman & Friends need to step it up.

[unionstation82]

Please no 2-out trouble, Morton. Make it a 1-2-3.

[bannedfan]

That’s probably the game with this lineup.

[unionstation82]

Of course.

[bearbryant]

poor Charlie

Hits with 2 strikes tend to get us.

[m240]

sometimes I hate being right.

It would’ve been easier to handle if McCutchen, Posey, or Longoria did it but not Crawford.

[astrosdoug]

This is probably Rodriguez's last inning. Last night was a busy one for SFG, they went through 5 relievers.

I'd expect to see Mark Melancon out of the pen at some point.

no it wouldnt've. You're less likely to ease one over against those guys

[koolade2]

I wonder why this team never has one of its AAA hitters come up and start hitting right away. I see it happen on other teams rookies that come u and seem to start hitting and getting on base. It always seems like they need a ton of bats before they start producing.

[m240]

come on Gonzales I gotta go do something so tie it up real quick here ok.  

[astrosdoug]

well with a quick inning like that, we may see more of Rodriguez...

[bearbryant]

It feels like Matt Cain is about to toss another perfect game against us this series

San Francisco is like Pittsburgh. Stadiums that are deep for righties put the Astros at a handicap.

[bearbryant]

Ivan Rodriguez is the name that Astro

[bannedfan]

Take Rodriguez out with 94 pitches dominating the Astros. Why?

[koolade2]

Oakland will be 3-1/2 out and with this team showing no signs of the Offense showing up will be 3 by tomorrow. Unless they figure out that they need to start hitting not relying on the guys on the DL.
Oakland will be even by the end of the week.

[astrosdoug]

Got to win this one for Charlie.

[unionstation82]

Why didn’t they just walk Hernandez?

Clipboard. 

[astrosdoug]

Moronta threw 13 pitches yesterday.

[unionstation82]

Waiting on that AAA success to translate to the majors.

[unionstation82]

Three pitches to Fisher. Sigh.

[bannedfan]

Our zero tolerance pitcher is coming in.

This iteration of the Astros teams sucks, Mr. McKittrick

It’s Hinch’s “see which darts stick” lineup.

[astrosdoug]

it's been a real handicap to not be able to start Gattis, what with playing in an NL park and all.

Time to go deep here.
