And it’s quickly 2-0 Angels. That’s likely enough.
Caratini with a leadoff walk, followed by a single by Peña. Astros have the first two on in the second…
Meyers grounds into 6-4 FC, but no double play. Astros on the corners, one out
Cam Smith with an RBI single!
Dubon, who s using the torpedo bat…with a torpedo up the middle as Meyers scores…Smith to 3B and Dubon to 2B on the throw home.
Holy Torpedo!
Altuve!!!
3-run shibby!
Now ruled foul. Ratfarts.
Very foul
Altuve flies out to shallow CF
Blum on the fans saying it was fair: “There’s a lot of St. Arnold’s out there affecting their judgment.”
Paredes says “THAT ain’t foul”!
3-run job
Fuck your foul pole
Yordan fouls one off his knee…trainer out. Awesome.
Alvarez flies out F8
But the Astros with a big inning…lead 5-2 after two
That was a great call by TK
Saw an interview with Dubon recently and he said he tends to hit the ball a bit below the barrel of a usual bat so he’d try these out in BP
Halfway…still 5-2 Astros
That’s what I have seen with players talking about the torpedo bat. It’ll mostly help guys that have trouble getting the barrell to balls on the inner third
Eta: I wonder if Chas is a guy who would benefit as much as anyone. He’s good on outside pitches but gets blown up a ton
Makes sense to me
