Marwin haters to the front please. 

I called him the season's biggest disappointment. I'll eat August crow.

Our record in one run games suck this year

Let's win by 2, then. 

What a great win. I feel like we’re stealing it with this line up. 

Very nice win. Winning road trip against good teams with this lineup is quite pleasing.

The top left picture is why I love this team. Look at the real passion and joy. They’re like a really nasty little league team.

Wish CFM could have gotten the win, though. 

Osuna beat him to it. 

So good to see Marwin heating up.

Hoping Gattis’ bat is getting warmed up too.

Tomorrow is our last game with no DH until game 3 of the World Series.

Do the thing where we hit a HR here and Osuna and Rondon lock it down

The HR came in the 9th, not the 8th when I posted this, but I’ll still take it

I hit you with some rep, was a close enough call for me!

Marwin is a great right handed hitter on the West Coast. Now he needs to bring that back home so he can get some cheap Crawford box homers.

On a different note, has there been a worse at bat this season than Fisher's in the 8th?

Fisher has been a huge disappointment.  He's destroyed his trade value this season.

Hell, we were even able to trade Moran after he obliterated his face.

You mean besides his other 74 ABs this year?

Now 38 Ks in 82 PAs

Fisher was meh in AA and a huge shock he's meh on the MLB level 

lunhow loves him though. im guessing this is his last chance. he has tucker / jake / kemp in front of him 

Boom MFer! Nice finish

I went to bed. This was a nice surprise to get up to go pee to.

I hated on him pretty hard for being so damned surly in the opening series against Arlington.  See Also: got ejected for being a dick about balls/ strikes.

 

He's still my least favorite Astro, but I can appreciate how he has kept making work.  He has had some timely hits, and with the multitude of injuries to position players provides AJ and the team with easier solutions than having to constantly MacGyver the lineup.

He still has one of the best bunts this season that I have ever seen.

Especially considering I was thinking yesterday was an off day, I was pleasantly surprised to wake this morning to a W. Not excited about being shut down for 8-plus innings, but I've almost come to expect that with the current lineup.

Great to see Marwin come up huge in the 9th, obviously. Outstanding AB. I don't think he's owed any apologies, though, because he's a professional athlete whose overall performance has been lagging this season. He's a versatile defensive player who's had some huge moments for us with the bat, and for those I'm thrilled. But I don't see how anyone can fault fans for being down on him — or any other player — when there's a mix of poor play and what appears (outside looking in) to be an occasional attitude issue. People are going to judge on the basis of what they see, and in Marwin's case, that hasn't always been positive.

All that said, a huge W. Morton deserved better than he got, but at least the team kept moving forward in what's turning out to be an encouraging road trip.
