This picture of sailboats has nothing to do with the Houston Astros.
Tonight, the Astros lost to the Diamondbacks by a score of 3 to 1. The game featured a nice but squandered start by Dallas Keuchel, another Jose Altuve multi-hit game (plus some really great defensive plays by the 2nd-baseman), a sac fly by Tyler Greene to score Marwin Gonzalez, and a few cheap runs scratched through by the Diamondbacks.
But I was mentioned by name on the TV broadcast, and that made my week. Thanks to the awesome FS Houston team for the shout-out!
I am feeling particularly lazy tonight, so tonight's recap will be brought to you by the readers of The Crawfish Boxes.
First!!
Strong start by the Astros faithful.
First Inning
Goldschmidt vs. soft tossin’ LHP…..don’t like the match up for the Stros.

clack speaketh of Arizona rookie leftie Wade Miley. This season Miley's ERA is 3.02 and his FIP backs his success up. So the Astros hitters should try to take advantage of any fortunate situations they come upon.
Then, Steve Pearce lined it right to Johnson at Third.
Well that’s poor luck.
LD single to CF by JMax….bases loaded.
Followed by an infield fly by Ben Francisco. Suddenly two outs...c'mon Astros!
I love CRPerry13.
#LOVE
campaigning to get your comments featured, huh?
Argh...the Astros leave the bases loaded..
Second Inning
Barnes rolls the ball to 2d….hmm, that sounds familiar.
Ausmus in the booth
Sounded like they were interviewing him for the job of Astros manager next year.
I don't recognize the Astros' players
First major league hit by a guy with facial hair who they say is Dallas Keuchel.
Third Inning
Nothing exciting happened in the top, and that's a good thing. Keuchel has a no-hitter through three. And in the bottom, nothing happened. I got no comments worth copy/pasting here. I am sad.
Fourth Inning
In case any reader is wondering what happened in the game so far, the answer is nothing. Still 0-0. A few singles but not much action.
We all know how CJ has no range! Lets Bunt every play!
Fifth Inning
Moving right along. The game is nice and quick so far. I'm ok with a 1-0 Astros win. I need sleep.
With this team drinking is allowed..
Dang!
Bummer. Safety squeeze scores a diamondback from 3rd.
Astros 0 Diamondbacks 1
Followed by a long double by Chris Young. Astros 0 Diamondbacks 2
In the bottom, Marwin Gonzalez hits a double to right, then Altuve advances him with an infield single.
Another multi hit game for altuve!
What the heck kind of pitch selection is this to Tyler Greene?
Result is a sac fly to center. Astros 1 Diamondbacks 2
Sixth Inning
Busta' was born after me.
For me: April 4th, 1995. Busta’: May 6, 1995.

You guys are so lucky that you barely remember the 90’s.
The sixth ends with two Astros left on base.
Seventh Inning
Schafer gives me gas

I refrained from asking orangeblood kid the obvious question, which is, "How?"
Wow! Fantastic diving play on a liner by Jose Altuve. Saves a run and now there are two outs with men on 2nd and 3rd. Keuchel coming out after 6-2/3 IP and only 2 ER (so far). A very nice outing by Keuchel.
I want to grow my own peanuts.
Now we know!
According to Brita, the United States generates enough plastic bottles to stretch 4,611,534,650 Altuves.
And Fernando Rodriguez makes an absolutely terrible catch to end the inning with no damage done. Keuchel has a Game Score of 56.34. Very nice.
Eighth Inning
CHRIS JUST GOT A SHOUT OUT ZOMG! HE IS FAMOUS!

@CRPerry13What was the quote?
I can’t watch tonight.
"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year." - Mark Twain
He was talking about a study about how athletes perform their best when eating kiwis and strawberries. I replied that somebody should have told Melky Cabrera that.

@CRPerry13
Goldschmidt just doubles in a run, but I don't care because my name was said on TV. Astros 3 Diamondbacks 1.
Ho hum.

Actually, that sums this game up really well.
Ninth Inning
