Mauricio’s brain quickly says “if a 101 mph fastball is coming at your shin, use your bat to protect yourself”
Sac fly for Dubon and it’s 9-5!
This guy is throwing 100+ but they’re getting a piece of everything
Damn. 100 foul tip right off Wegner’s mask
Amazed by the Astros’ ability to keep up with 100mph+

Peña lines it right at the 1b for the third out.
End 7, 9-5 Astros
Btw, I benched Chas on my fantasy team so you’re all welcome

Mark Wegner done for the day after being evaluated between innings.
Just to be clear: he was evaluated for injury, not for performance
Montero with some come clean livin’ cruises through the 8th.

Sigh.
9 runs and compelled to use the closer.
No way Pressly is available tmw.
Nice of Pressly to keep the game interesting.
That’s half winning baseball.
Yielding 6 with an out to go and a runner on 2nd not so much.
9-6, the end.
Both teams try to give the game away, Angels succeed.
Got him.
Whew.
Big W.
Abreu and Bregman with rbi’s. Let’s stick with that and see how it works out.

Everyone in that game makes lots of money to play baseball because they are among the top 1% in the world.
All teams will give up runs sometimes and putchers will have bad days.
The best teams find a way to get out of the bad inning and then answer back
I’m sure that just deflated the Angels after cuttung the lead to 2.
There are far more cases of “the other guys get paid too” than most fans care to admit.
The big innings for both teams today did not fall in that category.
They are in the top 0.000000001% in the world.
Wegner wasn’t the only HPU victimized yesterday. Cory Blaser got hit on the mask by a wild pitch and the Pale Sox walked it off.
