Angels @ Astros, 7/1/2022

Almost worked

Peña grounds into 4-3-6 double play, Altuve in a rundown for 10 minutes as Maldonado stands at 3B and watches

No way he was going home. It’d have been a triple play.

He might’ve gotten Jose back to 1st tho…

Well, it would have been two anyway. Not much anyone could do other than watch in pain.

Had he gone home Altuve would’ve ended up on second. I’ve been trying to decide whether I’d prefer Maldy on third or Altuve on second.

Tucker with another of his long at bats…strikes out on the 11th pitch.

Maldonado’s “speed” cost a run there, but Astros still up 8-1

I like to think had Maldy been more…cat-like…he could’ve gotten Jose back to 1st but probably not.

8-1?

What’s going on?

Javier punches out Trout for the third time tonight

It’s all that rum you drank last night

I’m happy to concur that Trout is the best player in the game, but tonight Javier has made him look totally lost.

The Ks tho…

Abreu in for the Astros

Rengifo with a bloop single…Peña tried the over the shoulder but off his glove

Verrah nice.

In his last 19 innings, Javier has given up 2 runs on 3 hits with 32 strike outs. Wow.
