OK, honest question here about that play (which we should never speak of again after tonight): was that Lopez's ball or Pearce's ball? (I know it sure as hell wasn't Downs', who looked like he was trying to tackle both of them).

I don't know. If it had been a pop up, the pitcher would have held back. I don't know about a bunt.

I like the pitcher there because he doesn't have to turn as much to evaluate the play and make the throw if warranted. |

I don't know how the pitcher backs off that play. |

Can they start sending dudes down to A ball when they commit game losing errors? This shit is getting old.

fuck-a-duck. Astros leave the tying run on 2nd. I'd like a post-game interviewer to ask Marwin just what the hell he was thinking in that AB in the 9th.
Maybe ask pearce about that bunt play in the 11th, too.
Of course, this being Houston, they probably won't.

Levine with this gem on twitter after the bunt play: I really have nothing to say about the Astros-Nats game. And I watched a lot of Three Stooges as a kid, so I should know all the references. |

Pearce didn't do anything wrong except for throw the ball away. He charged hard and tried to make a play. If Downs doesn't jump on him, I suspect the throw to first wouldn't have been the crazy wild nonsense it was. Really, the pitcher should've called everyone off immediately off the bat and taken charge, fielded it on a hop, and gotten the out at first. Also, Bogie's throw from shallow right was pretty horrible. He had a shot at the runner if he'dve just put it somewhere that Snyder could catch the ball instead of overthrowing him by 10 feet. |

I just watched the replay of the bunt. Any other team, I'd be laughing my ass off...but I don't think any other team is capable of doing that.

Once I saw Bogusevic field the errant throw and realized where he was on the field I was shocked that Bernadina was being sent home; I was certain that Brian was going to throw him out by six feet.

We are still required to put 9 men on the field - so no. |
