Astros at Braves 8/21/22

Meyers goes deep here?

Buy him some flowers, blue

I’d be quite happy with another bloop single.

That low strike has been there all day

Conviction is a key ingredient here.

That was the pitch, Jake

Another fat pitch missed

This isn’t Jeopardy?

Come on, Maldy!

Jake took some pitches I doubt he would’ve taken last week.

Ok, need a zero
