Loved Kendrick and Eaton doing the "pull the clutch" intro

I thought the crowd was booing Trevor for a second, then the camera switched to Altuve in the batter's box.

Some might turn it around, especially Lane, but it is kind of sad.

Lucky with the interference call, Houston will be running a ton today

walk puts Rosario's OPS over .400, yay

Missed opportunity

Cj needed the HR there.

Decent crowd. Maybe 65% full?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:03:53 pm »

Gad our chances. At least we plated one.

aspenbubba · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:04:23 pm »

better. Lots of standing. I'd say 33k.

Jinx time. Williams has been pretty clean since the 1st.

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:12:23 pm »

Williams got a break on that last strike call.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:14:13 pm »

Winker using take it easy for walk up. Easy fly to oppo for the out

efficient, which they needed after Gore for 4 yesterday

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:17:05 pm »

Garcia is the most un4like hitter ever but in this lineup it sort of makes sense

IanRubbish · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:19:21 pm »

Williams - efficient through 5 w/ 63 pitches

imref · « **Reply #20 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:23:49 pm »

Nice thread Dave.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:23:51 pm »

77 thru 6. Really efficient

imref · « **Reply #22 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:24:07 pm »

Altuve boos getting louder.

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #23 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:24:39 pm »

Another bad call goes Williams' way?

imref · « **Reply #24 on:** April 20, 2024, 05:31:50 pm »

Wasted a rare gallo hit.
