2020 ALCS Game 4, Rays @ Astros, October 14, 2020

He’s no Juan Soto.

That guy is only 21.

Tucker:

Fouled off, looks at 94 in a lefty’s happy zone (WTF), ball in the dirt, checks his swing on the ball in the dirt, strikes out on a curveball

I don’t understand why they don’t look for the fastball from Glasnow. It’s his best pitch and the only one he can throw for a strike.

good thing Tucker watched that 94 mph FB over the inner half.

Gurriel:

Lays off a curveball low and outside, lines it up the middle, but right into the shift for out number three

Laser from Yuli.

Easy 4-3.

Damn

That was a good swing by Yuli. Another bad result on a good swing by an Astro hitter, though.

Look FB.

Lay off the curve. They’re not landing in the zone.

The strikeout pitch to Correa was the only one that finished in the catcher’s glove.

It’s just that easy, I know.

That sums up this series

Some days you eat the bear, and some days…well the bear, he eats you.

This series has been the latter.

Wendle:

Called strike, flies out to Brantley in LF

He’s thrown one curveball for a strike. They should be sitting dead red on the fastball. If he throws three curveball for strikes, tip your cap. But the fastball is the only pitch you have a chance to contact.

Adames:

Swings through a good changeup, ball, flies out to Tucker in RF

Tsutsugo:

Ball, called strike on the low and outside corner, ball, grounds to Altuve and he makes a good throw. Three outs.

Zack’s first 5 IP in something like a month.

Cannot see that those FBs are elevated.

Three up

Reddick and his rolled up newspaper:

Ball, swings at a high fastball he had no chance of hitting, again swings at a high fastball he had no chance to hit, lays off a high fastball for ball two, flies out to Arozarena

Hanging curve, flyball.

He was geared for FB.
