2024 AL Wild Card, Game 2 Tigers @ Astros, October 2, 2024

[Astrojo]

Sigh.

[HudsonHawk]

Alvarez grounds out softly 4-3 again.

No score through three

[NeilT (Neil Thomas)]

Hinch would have remembered to tell Altuve not to get caught looking.

@HudsonHawk

Hinch is gonna fucking manage circles around Espada. More than he already has.

Not disagreeing, but Espada isn’t taking at bats for the Astros.

One run in 11 2/3 innings isn’t going to win games.

I don’t disagree, but Hinch has a plan, mainly “Tucker and Alvarez are not going to beat me”. I’m not confident that Espada has one.

Strike three was a good pitchers pitch. Strike two was the one Altuve should have let go.

[PuhlLemongello (J Mac)]

6th inning is going to be crucial imo (if we can get to 6 even or winning).

[HudsonHawk]

T4:

Vierling strikes out swinging

[Col.SphinxDrummond]

Just to be a contrarian, I’m gonna Yordan reminds me Willie Stargell more than McCovey or Ortiz.

Agreed. The way Espada managed the bullpen yesterday in the middle innings when the Tigers threatened to blow open the three-run lead concerned me. It was how he would do it in a normal regular season game.

Greene flies out F8 on a nice running grab by Chas

[HudsonHawk]

Keith grounds out 6-3

Middle of four…no score

[Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland)]

@austro

Wasn’t Frazier the guy that Verlander broke with a curve ball?

Yes

[HudsonHawk]

Bregman flies out F8 on the track

[DVauthrin (David Vauthrin)]

Alex with a good at bat, but nothing to show for it.

[HudsonHawk]

Diaz singles to RCF

[HudsonHawk]

Caratini hit by pitch

[HudsonHawk]

Two on for Pena…

You are around 25 seconds ahead of my TV broadcast. Not sure if I like that or not.

[JimR (Coach)]

Ahead of mine too

Dang it. I’ll give it another 25 second delay. In case anyone around here uses a swear word.
