Hey, I'm not coming to the defense of thirteen-five era guy, just saying, enough cheap hits did fall in during this appearance to last a few outings.

Lots of moments not to be proud of but Buxton's swinging strike 3 with runners on and not completely out of it, yet, was a dozzy. I'm sure it hit the chalk in the front corner of batter's box.

I'm gonna say something controversial. Jose Miranda is a better hitter than Royce Lewis.

We had a stretch of bad plays/decisions that gave momentum back to Houston.

Runner at 3rd, one out, pop up bunt, no run
Runner at 3rd, no out, no run

Watkins got lucky catcher dropped ball or we would have had a guy thrown out at home with no outs.

All good points. I love Castro, but at times, he takes it upon himself to make some bad decisions. Kepler hits it right back to the pitcher on a contact play. Watkins is the latest in a line of terrible 3rd base coaches.

I was hoping for a home run for 13 personally.

If it was me i would of bunted with 2 strikes ;)

Other years with 12/12: 1952, 1938, 1902 -- probably not too many people posting on here were alive yet last time it happened. We'll take it!

I missed being alive then by 7 years. The statistical probability of a .333 hitter getting a 12 in a row hitting streak is 1 in 531,441 if I did the math right. Damn impressive, but honestly I thought the number would be in the millions.
Change it to a .250 hitter and the odds against are 1 in 16,777,216. That's what exponential growth gets you.
