if it casts a shadow on the batters box, it’s a strike.
Reddick 2-2, pops out to Chapman in shallow left.
Straw F9
5 innings, 2 hits, both by Yuli.
Only other baserunner reached on a FC.
Anemic.
Davis 0-1, takes an Astro strike for ball 1, grounds out to shifted Altuve 4-3
Piscotty first pitch 6-3
Murphy ahead 2-0, lines out to Straw running back to straightaway center.
Nice play by Straw.
Garneau takes a ball so far inside even this ump called it a ball, ditto outside, flies out F7
Tucker gets ahead 2-0, drops a bunt down but it’s too close to the mound, out 1-3
Last 20 innings, this team has scored a grand total of 2 runs, even with four of them starting with a runner on 2B. That’s just not going to beat anyone.
Altuve lines out to short.
That pitch to Garneau was so fat. If you’re gonna miss your spot, miss to the bottom of the order.
Their ghost runner numbers are mind boggling awful.
As Altuve boots one…awesome.
Semian reaches on E4.
Ball deflected of Framber, Altuve booted it trying to scoop it.
(I don’t know care what the scorer says, that’s an error)
Fuck. That’ll go down as a TE2,but Altuve has to catch that ball
Laureano ahead 3-0, takes an Astro strike for a strike, another to go full, Ks looking, Semian running, goes to 3rd on E2 throwing error to the left of the bag.
Crap waffles.
He’s got to commit to catching it and forget the trying to tag.
Yep. Tried to tag before catching the ball. A good throw gets him easily, but Altuve has to keep that ball from going into CF
Fuck.
Chapman tries to pop out but too far for the right side to reach, hits a chopper way too higha bounce to come home, 5-3 FC plates Semian.
