  1. Just as an aside, I checked that high school Jack Flaherty and Bryce Rainer both went to, Harvard Westlake in LA, and the tuition is $52,000 a year. Wow.
  2. It was hard enough to endure those losses in Anaheim on TV and radio broadcast or following a game thread, but braving traffic and going to an actual game to witness the slaughter of our best and brightest, so to speak, had to be painful.
  3. I know it was bad, but that’s worse than I even thought. That is probably 3–16 with maybe even worse loss numbers if some of those sweeps were four-game series.
  4. I remember when we had a team stacked with All Stars and Cy Young winners or candidates and going on West Coast swings and tallying 2–6 records and being inexplicably shut out for 25 innings straight. I just couldn’t understand why this was so hard.
  5. Also, it was real touching when the rookie pitcher’s mom broke down crying, saying that her son was realizing his dream. It was very sweet. And she is not a “prototypical hot mom.” Which made it even sweeter and more vulnerable.
  6. Jason said that when Colt Keith hit the home run he hit it in the former home of the Colt 45s. Does he not realize that’s two ball parks ago or did he just mean Houston in general? It just seemed like an awkward way to put it.
  7. I think that plane ride to Los Angeles is going to be a lot more upbeat and spirited than it might’ve been otherwise. I know these guys have or should have ice water in their veins, but those first two losses took a lot of wind out of my sails.
  8. Javy took the time to admire his work on that slam. He knew…
  9. Glad for Javy and Colt today. And Riley with FOUR HITS! Wow. Keep ridin’ the wave.
  10. Bottom of the ninth three run lead what could go wrong?
  11. Disappointing to have runners on second and third and not end up scoring.
  12. Andy Ibáñez singles on a ground ball to left fielder Mauricio Dubón. Riley Greene to 2nd. Something brewing.
  13. 4-hit day for Greene
  14. Thank God got out of it. Definitely could use some add-on runs these Astros don’t give up.
  15. Damn, with two outs, a home run and then back to back singles. I was starting to get comfortable about this game, not anymore.
  16. Victor Caratini homers (1) on a fly ball to left field.
  17. Altuve doubles (3) on a line drive to left fielder Riley Greene. Jake Meyers scores. Jeremy Peña scores.
  18. Riley with his third hit of the day. This is a good thing to see and his two homers were a good thing too.
