Smart idea by Moncada to come out swinging this AB knowing Keuchel has been throwing a lot over the plate.

Love seeing Moncada being able to work a count at will.

Austin Jacksons was better but Engels was pretty awesome

 

I still think Austin Jackson's catch should have been ruled a home run, but rules are rules.

I have to pull out the OOTP 17 scouting description "This kid will see a massive amount of pitches over his career".

Suddenly those close 3-2 fastballs aren't catching any plate and he's walking instead of striking out. He's looking good.

Good effort but gotta put a little more than that on the throw.

Moncada now with 13BB to 21K, not bad.

The team with the worst record by far in the AL is destroying the team with the best record by far in the AL...helllooooo baseball.

 

It is a nice feeling to be pounding a team for once, let alone the Astros.

Am I crazy or did the ump and Yoan lose track of the count? should he have walked to pitches earlier?

I thought so too, not sure if the graphic was wrong or the ump lost track

I love me some Nicky Delmonico!

LOL...that was so friggin awesome.

Glad I'm not going senile yet at 31

Except for Delmonico, our other guys are back in swing at anything mode.

My buddy rewatched the AB 3 times and said they definitely let him take an extra pitch, he was walked twice. Crazy how that could happen considering how everything is tracked in baseball

I heard Billy Hamilton made a sick catch tonight too.

I feel like they haven't throw Yoan a fastball all game

Quintana has actually raised his season ERA pitching in the NL.

That's a bit of a shocker. Coop magic?

 

 

Petricka...what happened to the quasi closer version of yourself?

So much for the "concerns" about not having any hits on that particular pitch.

 

Roll Walk Tide, Yoan.

2 words. Paul. Goldschmidt.

We can tie Phillies for #1 draft pick if we manage to blow this one...

Uncharacteristic if Petricka giving up two homers

2 words. Paul. Goldschmidt.

 

Or Daniel. Murphy.

 

Although he kills any Cubs pitcher.

Finally saw the Engel catch. I mean the wall scaling was enough by itself, but if you look at the very first shot of him when the camera comes on, he is slightly into left center field and not very deep. He ran an absolutely perfect route to even give himself a chance to make that play... before he scaled the fence.

 

I hope Engel can hit at all because I LOVE him in CF.

With no outs, you're supposed to tag

You don't tag up at first unless you are pretty damn sure the ball is going to be caught. Just saw why.
