Rodriquez sacrifices. 2-1 Astros.
Grounder to 2nd to end the inning. But the Astros bunt & bloop their way to 2 runs.
Phillips HBP...barely clipped him. Back elbow....but I'll take it.
Apparently, Bruce went to Dusty and pleaded with him to let him start tonight. I like Jay's attitude....let's hope he can turn around his struggles against Wandy.
Strike 'em out, throw 'em out. Crud.
DP as Bruce strikes out and Phillips is caught stealing.
Jay was WAY out in front on that change. Looked pretty bad on that swing.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Would have been a great pitch to hit the other way....outside, and the SS covering 2nd.
Learning process.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Razor K's on 3 pitches. Including a NASTY bender.
Hernandez strikes out swiging. 2-1 Astros after 2.
