Good to see Gattis is finally starting to get it going, but holy crap Marisnick is just a complete black hole at the plate. I love his defense, but he needs to be riding the pine with how bad his bat is. At this point he should just be a late game defensive replacement/pinch runner and nothing more.

Damn Alex, leave some outs for the rest of the Astros hitters.

That was a pretty crappy way to ruin an otherwise really promising inning.

Pretty special evening tonight, but last night was pretty special too.

Hope tomorrow will be as special.

And just like that, the Astros take the lead. How predictable.

Buh-bye, Bauer. Enjoy your(likely, hopefully) loss.

Wow, the bullpen just completely **** the bed.

Now THAT is special.

This game is crazy...crazy INSANE.

Would really be special to end it with a W.

Need to get about 10 more runs, can't trust a 4-5 run lead...I mean, sorry...still upset over yesterday's debacle.

We drafted Beer. I immediately approve.

https://www.mlb.com/astros/news/astros-pick-clemson-of-seth-beer-in-draft/c-279780506

A polished left-handed hitter with a controlled swing, Beer hit .301 with 22 homers, 54 RBIs and a .456 on-base percentage in his junior year at Clemson. He walked 54 times and struck out just 36 times in showing remarkable plate discipline. In his career at Clemson, he drew 180 walks and struck out 98 times in 188 games.

"Seth Beer is one of the premier college baseball players in the country and has been for the past three years, and even before that was one of the premier high school players in the country," Astros assistant general manager for player acquisition Mike Elias said. "So this is somebody we've been watching a lot over the past four to five years. He has a track record of production that is historic in terms of his college career and is hard for us to ignore."

...

Elias said Beer can play both corner-outfield positions, as well as first base, but Elias said Beer would likely move around at the beginning of his professional career. He played mostly right field in college. Astros scout Gavin Dickey said Beer has a Major League average arm that could improve.

"In today's game, there's a lot of value being placed on positional versatility, and certainly the ability to play some outfield and some first base will be something that he'll want to maintain in his skillset," Elias said.

Ladies and gents, our future DH/1B/cold tasty beverage of joy!

Good thing we got Beer, because Bad Dallas showed up again tonight.

I mean...10-0 Astros in the 2nd inning.

Hate these late start West Coast games, especially during the week, but...ya.
