Maton you fucking slapdick.

[austro (Mark)]

How did that guy pull that pitch into the corner? Further evidence that we’re just snakebit this year.

[AstrosFanInBigD]

Whew.

[DJ.Drummond (Older but Improved)]

Agreed. Nothing is easy these days.

[MarkR (Buford T. Justice)]

That curve rolled a little bit and didn’t have the same dive that the first curve Maton threw. Stayed just up enough for him to yank.

[MarkR (Buford T. Justice)]

Hell Pena, maybe just don’t take a bat to the plate next time.

[AstrosFanInBigD]

Tuck3r!

[austro (Mark)]

Tucker en fuego!

[DJ.Drummond (Older but Improved)]

Thank you King Tuck!

It wasn’t a big yanker, but it still wound up in a place that’s usually safe. Usually.

[AstrosFanInBigD]

I wish Peña would decide to just hit for average.

[MarkR (Buford T. Justice)]

I wish he’d just learn that the strike zone ends around the knees and no shoetops.

[Col.SphinxDrummond]

I also wish Peña was better.

[MarkR (Buford T. Justice)]

They’re… PHing for… Diaz?

Zuh?

[DJ.Drummond (Older but Improved)]

Montero had a good inning

[Col.SphinxDrummond]

Raffy baby, welcome to 2023!

[AstrosFanInBigD]

Foul pops like that are a great reminder of what a terrible field layout that is.

[austro (Mark)]

It’s like cricket.

[MarkR (Buford T. Justice)]

I sure like it when an Astro makes a play 70 feet in foul territory.

[MarkR (Buford T. Justice)]

Holy fucking christ. This HPU has been pretty good tonight, but he just raw dogged Chas on a pitch 5 inches below the zone.
