Flipping the script, why would you throw a first ball/fast ball hitter a first ball/fast ball?
Sure, Jose noodled it, but that couldn’t be the plan, right?
There’s no way that’s their gameplan.
Or if it is, that’s insane.

Well that was another weak inning.
Bottom 3, 1-0 Astros
Machete grounds out 4-3
Altuve has seen two pitches and made two outs: a fly ball to center
Brantley pops out to right. Nothin’ doin’.
On to the fourth.
Eovaldi isn’t making great pitches. Letting him off the hook repeatedly.

At some point they gotta break out. They’re not gonna hold the Sox down forever.

Altuve should have made it 2-0 with the pitch he got.

Moving his foot helps, adrenaline probably helps more
Devers takes some Springer-like swings.
You put your left foot in
You pull your left foot out
You put your left foot in
And strike the fucker out…

It’s almost like he’s taking a page out of the Charlie Morton book. Which, of course, is straight out of the Strom + Astros analytics book.

Let’s get this guy some help. Score runs.
Devers is all or nothing on every swing. He scares me.
