Astros at Angels 12 July, '22

Good grief.

Another popup.

It’s up to JJJ

Really?

Top 9.

Iglesias pitching.

Altuve walks

Diaz singles to right, Altuve to 3rd (Angels lose challenge on whether Altuve touched 2nd). Siri in to pinch run for Diaz.

Tucker doubles to right, Altuve scores. Siri to third.

Bregman IBB. Bases loaded no outs.

Gurriel pops up to short.
Ditto for Pena.

Matijevic Ks.

8.5. Astros 6 Angels 5.

Every day I wonder how this team has managed to win so many games.

Then I remember they have more pitching than God.

Awful 3 ab’s

That fizzled quite a bit.

Dropping from Brantley to Chas/Aledmys is manageable. Dropping from Yordan to JJ is catastrophic.

And a hitter that makes Altuve and Tucker seem ordinary.

Turrble

I initially typed Yurrble and now that I reflect on it I think that works too

It could be ameliorated somewhat if the real Yuli would come back.

A rusty Pressly, we need 3 outs, zero runs allowed.

Marsh out.

Stefanic out.

I’ve said it before.

I really love Peña’s quick release.

Bottom 9.

Pressly pitching. Siri in left.

Marsh Ks. (Angels announcers marveling at Pressly’s spin rate)

Stefanic 6-3.

MacKinnon Ks.

Ballgame. Astros 6 Angels 5.

MacKinnon out. ASTROS WIN 6-5

Thank God that ended well.

Boom.

Way to go Pressly.

Garcia pitched very well after a rough 1st.

Now let’s never speak of this again.

Whew. I hope they can shake off this defensive sloppiness.

Gotta win the ugly ones, too.

That was ugly. But it counts.
