Tucker, Straw, and Maldonado up for the “Quest for Mendoza”.
Tucker homers into the Crawford Boxes!
Thank you
De nada!
Ohtani’s slider is pretty good. It’s flat, but it moves a ton.
There’s that curve again.
Starts off at the hip, ends up on the inside corner.
Nasty.
99 then 70. There’s no fucking way to hit that.
Tucker solo HR
Straw Ks swinging
Machete Ks swinging
Altuve pops out to RF
1-0 Astros
If that ball Altuve hit found some grass, and he was standing on 1B, I’d have punched him in the dick.
He seems to have 2 speeds on his splitter too.
92 or so for the traditional sinking action, 87 for less break but a change of pace spotted higher in the zone to complement his FB.
Gosselin Ks swinging
Suzuki Ks swinging on high cheese
Fletcher Ks swinging
Vive le Lance!
I hope y’all notice I am not saying a fucking word about our pitcher. Garcia should sue me.
Keep dealin’, Lance…
Let’s get some offense going.
The Machete throw is up on gameday if you missed it.
Yordan breaks out of the funk with a 60-ft nubber
That ball had some spin on it, man.
