Angels at Astros, 8/11/23

Yep

Oh, we’re in agreement.

There’s a distinct lack of creativity in the nickname department.

Chin music!

Was that a whiffleball JV struck Ohtani out on?

That was pitcher abuse, or batter abuse. Hell the hitter was abused

A fond but faint hope: Dusty would play his best defense in the outfield behind JV.

ETA: my thumb cannot type worth a damn.

I can’t think of a better 0-2 pitch.

Part 2

Homerton strikes again.

Homer2on!!

Holy shit. I wish he had found his stroke in Baltimore.

Wow. That ball was punished.

What was the stat cast numbers on Singleton’s homers?

Something like 105mph and 37 degrees.

Alvarez has looked like shit the last few games.

First HR was 108.9 I think.

Jeez, who’d a thunk that Yordan would be the hole in tonight’s lineup.

per Rome on xitter:

Jon Singleton’s first major-league hit was a home run against the Angels at Minute Maid Park on June 3, 2014.

His first hit in his return to the Astros was a 390-foot missile into the second deck against the Angels at Minute Maid Park.

8 years between MLB HRs, and then 19 minutes before the next one

I looked up Blum vs Wagner:

10 PAs, Blum was 3 for 8 with 2 singles, a homer, 3 rbi, 3 K 2 BB.

Very cool letting Brownie call the game and TK gets to go have some beers.
