Pretty generous strike zone so far.

Fried just doesn't have it lately.  Too bad.

Neither does his defense, unfortunately. A couple infield hits, and 2 errors.  Now a wild pitch.

4-1 Astros.  

[beatlesrule]

So sad. Errors.

[beatlesrule]

Um, how long is Fried gonna stay in the game? Lakers are destroying the Thunder and it's still the 2nd quarter.

Alex Rodriguez is a big dumb ass.

The guy on the grounds crew responsible for watering down the dirt always seem to have an excessively heavy hand with the hose. 

[beatlesrule]

Astros pulling away. 7-2 now bot 7th.

Gross.

Tonight's game is in Atlanta, where the weather isn't great--but should clear up a little before the game.  5:09 Pacific on Fox.

Braves chant!!

It looks like they are playing in a fog bank.

Maybe it will obstruct the view for the Astros cameras.

[beatlesrule]

No score bot 3rd.

[PattyD22]

Braves had bases loaded and 1 out.  Next 2 hitters go:

Foul out and strike out.  So hauntingly familiar.  Tough half inning for the Braves, but some great pitching by Garcia.

They scored a run but it was a disappointment.  It was, as familiar as my right hand.

Official no hitter alert. Astros no hits through 5.

[Justin]

Anybody else remember the days when you didn't pull a pitcher throwing a no-hitter? 

[beatlesrule]

He was at 76 pitches. Could have given them a couple of more innings at least. I bet if he was at 60 or so or if the Braves had more than one run, he's back out there for the 6th. They are clearing saving him.

I agree.  If it wasn’t a damn near must win game 3, he would probably still be in the game, at least until the Astros got a hit.  Tonight?  No way.  Not with the Braves bullpen.

Tucker with a great play.

[daygloman]

I wish some scoring would start happening.

[beatlesrule]

Combined no hitter through 7 now..

I hope it’s the Braves who do the scoring.

I’d hate to see the Astros break up the no hitter AND the shut out with one swing.  

[failos]

Idiot fielding. Unbelievable.
