Tucker’s at-bat was dollar-store non-alcoholic beer
And looked absolutely terrible doing it.
He has to be battling an injury.
The Astros are not going to continue to get batting practice fastballs forever. At some point they have to actually hit one.
Chas draws a 1-out walk
It would sure be nice for the real Kyle Tucker to show up at some point tonight.
Very surprised some of those balls weren’t called strikes. (Yes, they were balls)
Oh my did Peña ever have one to crush there….
Chas swipes 2B
Peña’s hands go back before he swings.
Like he’s rocking the cradle.
Can’t be good.
Hurt himself doing it, too
Peña…also missing fat pitches…whiffs
Machete about to show up?
Maldy takes a meatball right down the middle…quickly 0-2…whiff
End of two…3-1
Strike one was one of those big ass cookies they used to serve at birthday parties when I was a kid.
Letting Maldonado hit there is managerial malpractice. But this is just absurd. Scherzer is just grooving fastball after fastball right down the center of the plate, daring the Astros to hit one and they just won’t.

At least they cleared Maldy. Gotta keep getting zeroes
I had a feeling Machete would tie the game up, but … pfft.
Our holes in the lineup are gonna end our season if we can’t change things quick
Two checked swing strikes on.balls.
I will never understand what goes through Dusty Baker’s head at times during games. You are trailing with a runner in scoring position. Diaz needs to be in the game.
