Correct. Three batters or finish an inning.
I know the Rays are good, but Let’s do some vaunting this inning, Astros’ offense.
Uncle Mike:
Called strike, shiftfuck ground out up the middle
It hit the mound and then I think the pitcher’s glove and bounced about 5 times before it got to 2nd. Not sure that’s a hit even without the shift.
Damn
Altuve:
Ball, Ball (almost hit Altuve), Ball, called strike, swings over a changeup, hits a rocket off the bag, thrown out at 2B on another stupid baserunning play by Altuve
Dang, Altuve hosed
What a stupid fucking decision.
Risk reward
God, Jose. Idiot.
Risk, you’re almost definitely out.
Reward, maybe the throw doesn’t beat you by a full foot?
Not with one out and the middle of the order up. Two outs, you take that chance.
Bregman:
Ball, called strike, called strike, fouled off, flies out to CF
The Rays don’t beat themselves. If you are taking an extra base you better be sure you’ll make it, or there are two outs in an inning.
Do not let Rice-A-Roni beat you. He get bupkis to hit!
I was too succinct:
Risk reward calculus favors staying at first and seeing if Alex can bring you around.
I thought it was stupid.
Raley back out, James throwing in the pen.
Should be James
What a stupid fucking decision.
This
Arozarena:
Ball, Ball, Fouled away, Ball, Fouled away, Fouled away, fouled away, Got him swinging.
