[Official] Astros @ Mariners

Paredes golfed one

 

Base hit here, Walker!

 

If Paredes had hustled on his popup single, he might have scored on Yordan's single

 

This ump is bad.

 

Mariners dugout getting chippy. What are they saying on the SSN feed?

 

Good at bat there.

 

Don't blame the M's dugout at all for getting after him

 

Barking about the no call,

 

For all the people complaining about Walker - we have him hitting 4th and really, he is a #6 hitter in a really good line up, He doesn't hit for a very high average, he doesn't walk a lot and he can strike out too - but he has pop.

 

He just struck out on 3 away sliders

 

Peña chasing sliders. They left Seattle in the game.

 

Isn't that the story of his life - the difference between Silver Slugger awards and having to worry about whether you will lose your starting job to some kid in the minors.

 

Walker can pick it at first.

 

Walker continues to impress!

 

Rodgers plays good defense.

 

Rodgers needs to invest in some knee pads.

 

Brown owns that dude

 

Chas makes that catch while picking the broccoli rabe off his pork sandwich

 

I think he would be a crazy good #6 hitter, but I understand what you are saying.

Because of the lack of impact depth in the Astros lineup and his big FA contract, we fans expect him to he a top 3 run producer on the team. He is much more of a good hitter with great defense, than an all-star level hitter.

But he walked 10% of the time last year and 9.6% for his career. That's significantly better than MLB avg, which is about 8.5% and would have been behind only Alvarez, Tucker, and Singleton on the Astros last year.

 

Leaving them in the game.
