I don't mind him walking Cruz there -- much better than a home run.

good strategy. didn't need a mound session for it either

Come on Marwin! At least swing the bat, geez.

[astrosdoug]

That's at least the third really egregiously bad called strike on Marwin in two games.

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

How worthless is Marwin this year?

[koolade2]

I see Gonzalez is spreading his no hitting to Stassi. Offense is really the worse I have seen in quite a long time. This almost looks like 2013

[Deleted]

Oh goodie. We get to see Jake strike out again!

[unionstation82]

Keuchel headed toward a CGL.

[astrosdoug]

Astros six hits in the last 17 innings... welp.

[paastrosfan]

Watching this offense, is like watching metal rust.

Nolan Ryan inaugurated that tradition.

In fact Fangraphs should make a new statistic for the CGL and just call it a Ryan.

"Corey Kluber leads the American League in Ryans this year..."

[unionstation82]

Marisnick looks bad, but when Marwin also looks bad, Marisnick REALLY looks bad.

[m240]

somebody needs to find the kyptronite and get that out of the dugout.

Poor Keuchy :’(

[m240]

I think our guys need to quit reading their press clippings.

In which of Drayton’s six championship seasons did this occur?

Is Keuchel the new Fiers?

Keuchel's the new Fiers in that the position players sure get a work-out trying to field behind him

[paastrosfan]

Big K to keep this game close.

[astrosdoug]

Could be a good idea to get the bullpen started. No need to make Keuchel throw 100 pitches just to throw 100 pitches. Put in a fresh arm, keep the game close... they are putting in Nicasio, who's been very hittable this year (esp w/ the HR ball I seem to recall). So there is still hope.

[unionstation82]

Fiers worked out our bullpen.

[Saint]

Bats come through in the 8th. You heard it here first.

[bearbryant]

Shame that all these jams Keuchel's worked out of look to be gone for naught

[Deleted]

Nice job to keep it to a one run game by Dallas. Top of the line up coming up.

2005. I think Clemens had a complete-game loss that year

[m240]

they better score some runs.  I am falling asleep.

[astrosdoug]

Nicasio has already hgiven up 3 homers in 7 appearances. Time to pound this guy.

[astrosdoug]

By comparison, the Mariners putting Nicasio into this sitaution would be like Hinch putting Sipp in to protect a 2-1 lead.

[paastrosfan]

George why reach.

[unionstation82]

Drive the slider over Haniger’s head for crying out loud.

[Saint]

Interesting. Same runs scored through this point last year.
