I think this was the first walk off by a hit this year…. I believe the other one was on a Wild Pitch, which is a bit different.

They mumbled something about a Ward Hr walkoff back in 1909.

Do we lose this one 8-7 in 10?

Y/N?

I can see why you’d ask. TrAditionally we would have a good top of the 9th, only to go down in our half. And then Houston would have a ghost runner

We have Four stolen bases this game! We’re SB Nation!

Ward’s been on an icy cold streak. I don’t expect anything here. Do you?

We have 10 hits. Seems like it’s been 4-6 hits every game for about 5 weeks now. Double-digits in hits!

This has been a really scrappy game.

do I have to wait for an actual run or runs to score before I say “ballgame”?

having run the tankathon simulator many times I think we’ll probably get an unlucky 2025 draft pick while some team with a 0.35% chance of getting the 1st pick will be happily surprised.

I’m not sure I want us to have the first pick, we’ll screw it up.

I honestly think, since we don’t seem to have a good scouting department, that Perry makes his picks based on what he reads on the internet. I do. I think that. I could be wrong.

That’s why Minasian needs to be replaced.

Only to hire another assistant GM that Art liked in an interview.

May as well stay where we are at. Doesn’t matter anymore

2 outs are bad.

I wonder if Strickland did that intentionally. He’s got that history with Bryce Harper of holding grudges.

The problem is that Houston has too many good hitters and we don’t really have any. It’s sort of not fair.

Sometimes simple assessments are the best assessments. Even without Kyle Tucker, they still have
a solid lineup.

I don’t understand how they started so slow. Must have been injuries.

Injuries, age, bad luck.

I actually don’t hate them TBH. I’ve envied them for years.
