Good Christ, Kalas. Could we slow down the slurpjob on a guy with a 8+ ERA just a touch?
He’s just trying a reverse jinx
Hey, I’m finally going to get a “Name That Astro”.
More slapdick defense, naturally
eta: should be overturned, if Dusty decides to challenge it
Might want to be a little more chalant on that effort, Peña.
T5:
Andrus…fouling off pitches…man he’s a tough out…finally strikes out swinging
Piscotty strikes out swinging on a splitter that rolled off the table
Kemp…0-2…grounds to SS. Peña’s throw is wide…TE6…Astros challenging tag, it was obvious…overturned…Yuli saves an error and score it 6-3
Jake strong through five…1-0 still.
My favorite part was how sour the umpire was in overturning it. Looked like he was announcing he’d just found out someone shit in his shoes and he just realized it right then.
He’s out.
But that’s another terrible defensive play. (The throw; nice one by Yuli)
Pena gets himself in trouble occasionally with the nonchalant no plant throw when he has time to set up. It’s really annoying.
