  stupid

  Not only that, but this guy can't throw strikes.

  Ludwick sucks
• Azubuike24

  

  Ludwick = bum.
  
  Watched 3 fastballs down the middle.
  
  He's been GARBAGE since returning. Like a .520 OPS...

  You couldn't have been more right.

  What a joke of an at bat by ludwick. Swing the damn bat ffs.
• wildcats20

  

  I don't care what FoxTrax says, that is not a strike. ESPECIALLY when the pitcher had thrown 17 out of 19 out of the strike zone.

  Only a bitch goes up there looking for a walk. If Ludwick is truly a middle of the order hitter, against a guy who threw 15 of 18 balls prior to his at-bat, he'd be swinging.
• Azubuike24

  

  Which Astro we've never heard of hits the walk off?

  Yeah that was a bad AB. Watch a pitch at 3-0, but you better sure as hell swing at a 3-1 fb down the middle.

  Hey, guess what?
  
  I haven't bashed Dusty in a little while.
  
  However, it's time. Zack Duke coming in a tie game in the 9th. When is the last time Chapman pitched?
• wildcats20

  

  Aroldis should have been in to start the inning. He has proven he can go 2 innings of needed. You bring him in, he gets out of the 9th unscathed, then let him close it in the 10th after we score.
  
  Aggressiveness wins games, not dumbassness.
• wildcats20

  

  Holy shit, what a fucking play!
• mhs95_06

  Great play by Bruce on the foul ball.
• Azubuike24

  

  There's seriously a 65% chance or so Duke blows this...

  Higher.
• wildcats20

  

  3rd pitch was right down the middle, not really sure how it was called a ball.
• Azubuike24

  

  The answer to my own question is about to be Marc Krauss.
• Azubuike24

  

  Thank goodness the Astros are 50 games under .500...
• mhs95_06

  Unless the Reds take the lead, Partch will pitch before Chapman will!
• wildcats20

  

  Frazier finally gets a hit. He's been bad tonight.
• Azubuike24

  

  Dusty bunts. He's been bad all year.
• Ironman92

  

  Dusty has his fuckin dice out this game.
  
  And I just don't see the hype with Hamilton....he adds literally nothing and the pitchers and catchers aren't at all bothered by him. He really doesn't even look that fast.
• wildcats20

  

  Speaking of bad, Meso is terrible currently.
  
  First career game winner?
• Azubuike24

  

  This is the one area where you simply can't play conventional and expect Hamilton to perform. Instead of taking a leadoff single and hoping for a real inning, you basically position yourselves for a guy with zero pop to drive in a run.
  
  Insanity.
• mhs95_06

  Hamilton was dominated in that AB!
