Baseball (Astros) and music, for now.

If I were a betting man, I would bet Bryan Abreu will not receive a qualifying offer after this season.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Two walks followed by a flyout that advances the runner to third.
Two baserunners, one out, and in comes Bryan King to try to salvage this game.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Well, the pitchers' duel is over as the Pirates have scored 3 runs in the 6th with no outs.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

The Astros should really stop walking Oneil Cruz, especially to lead off an inning.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

The Astros are getting some hard-hit balls off Pirates pitcher Jared Jones. Not enough of them have fallen for hits, however.

The Astros scored six runs after two outs in the 8th inning to stun the Pirates, 11-9, with Josh Hader picking up the save in his 2026 debut. Houston was 0-32 when trailing after eight innings prior to tonight.

Andre Ware stayed for the whole game, all 3 hours, 42 minutes of it.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Don’t worry, Astros fans. They will score two quick runs in the ninth to give us hope, then get three quick outs with the tying run on base.

[MLB @MLB]

The @Astros score SIX two-out runs in the eighth inning to complete the comeback!

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

FINAL: unfortunately, we did not win this game.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

And worth every minute of it!

[Chandler Rome @Chandler_Rome]

Three hours, 42 minutes.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

The Astros have scored 6 runs in the 8th inning and Jake Meyers comes up to bat for the second time.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

OMG Cam Smith

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Okay, so it was the seventh inning (Isaac Paredes 2-run HR with 2 outs).

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Don’t worry, Astros fans. They will score two quick runs in the ninth to give us hope, then get three quick outs with the tying run on base.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

The Astros may have pitching depth, but they do not have pitching quality.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Astros pitching has definitely NOT stabilized.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

I guess the NL Central is for real this year, huh?

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Santa is gifting walks tonight...the first two base runners he has allowed this season.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Not a good night for Isaac Paredes. 0-4 with two strikeouts and two errors on defense.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

This is now a save situation for the Pirates. They are making a pitching change up by 4 with the tying run in the on-deck circle.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

Something has to be done about Bryan Abreu soon.

[Ross Pollack @RossPollack8]

@Chandler_Rome Seems like his give-a-damn factor is pretty low right now.
