Angels @ Astros April 23, 2001

B2:

Gurriel…0-2…1-2…2-2…grounds out 4-3 as Fletcher battles a cue ball in shallow RF

B2:

Tucker…3-0…3-1 at the knees on the corner…3-2 fouling back a meatball…fouls another meatball…fouls a curveball…flies out at ball four at his shoulders

B2:

Diaz…0-1 at a slider in the dirt…0-2 on a pitch up and away…takes strike three.

Sigh

No score

So after breaking out last night, the Astros look back to being a team that’s gonna struggle to plate a run tonight. I hope I’m wrong.

As was I somewhere along the line. Either my dad in LL or my PONY League coaches-I already knew to do it by HS.

Speaking of meatballs…I have some in the oven

Upton grounds to 2B…no one there…shiftfuck single

Walsh grounds into 4-6-3 double play

No score

B3:

Straw…works the count full…fouling pitches off…strikes out swinging

Strike 2 to Straw was 8 fucking inches outside.

Never even sniffed the outside corner as it tailed away.

What in the blue fuck is going on here?

B3:

Maldonado at the plate…Heaney complaining about the baseballs…

Maldonado strikes out swinging.

B3:

Correa…full up…pops out F4

No score

Count goes from 2-1 to 1-2.

That type of swing is why robo umps should be used.

And Trout sticking his elbow out last night. I hope it still hurts.
