Angels @ Astros, August 24, 2020

Framber is slowly bleeding.

Single up the middle plates a run, Trout to 3rd.

Altuve couldnā€™t knock it down. Sigh.

donā€™t make it a gusher

What a fucking shit show

Framber has thrown 3 curve balls right down the fucking middle in ahead counts this inning.

Bleeding is a kind description for what heā€™s doing.

another hit, another run.

Tucker spiced it up by juggling the ball before getting it back in.

Heā€™s lucky that ball didnā€™t end up on the tracks.

Same for the pitch he threw Rendon.

Pus pitches.

And a hanging curve for strike 3.

I suppose itā€™s too much to ask for the Astros to score again.

I donā€™t follow it as close I should, so I ask everyoneā€™s opinion on just how effective the extreme shift actually is. I seem to not like it at all.

Middleton (RHP) pitching

Tucker 0-2, 1-2, F9

I especially donā€™t like it when it doesnā€™t work.

Yuli flies out into the nook to the right of the scoreboard. Adell had an unsure route to the ball.

If Yuli just pulls it 1 degree moreā€¦

ā€œThe Numbersā€, according to ā€œPeopleā€, say it has been a net benefit for the Astros. Thatā€™s all I can tell you.

It can be very frustrating though.
