Nationals @ Astros, Game 2

[nfotiu]

No mention by Bob & FP or by the Astros broadcasters. Maybe the stadium is so empty that any random screeches get to the on-field microphones?

Probably Murphy!

[bluestreak]

Lind is below .300 now?

[spidernat]

What's the howling about at this stadium?  Sounds like some random guys doing Murphy's "Woo!"   I've noticed it in both games so far.  Has it been brought up?

There's a whistler at astros games (FP and Bob covered it the other day).

Lind is below .300 now?

He looks totally lost at the plate.

I wish managers would know it never works out when you've got a guy well into his career who finds a niche he excels at, and try to see if that will carry over to being a good every day player.  You know he's going to suck as a pinch hitter now too.

Quality Start...

Rendon looks lost also. Slumps. They come. They go.

the injuries are playing a part in that

Quality Start...

no question. Stevenson freaked him on that first run. And no matter what measure you want to use, 2 runs in 6 innings is a quality start (and especially when facing an AL lineup).

[Mathguy]

FP - what would you know about playing "the game the right way" ???

[stealyerbase]

Sort of a ho hum game. Well, short of Stevenson's misadventure that is.

That is funny.

He watched many good players from various dugouts.

[stealyerbase]

That is funny.

Nice picture too. Panda looks like a Macy's Parade balloon.

Fiers has struggled the last month...He is 0-4 7.36 in his last 5 outings.


crap...we're doomed. These are the pitchers that always seem to dominate the Nats.

On the money

Lind is below .300 now?

He was  off the bench. As a starter he's more like loose change

Did any of you notice that Fox is carrying 2 preseason games on Sunday and then nBC is carrying a night game, just like a regular season Sunday? I don't recall ever seeing that in the past.

Me either, and when did Wednesday night pre season football become a thing?

This game is a metaphor for my life.
