Angels @ Astros, April 13, 2025

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!

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

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
