I don’t know why anyone throws anything middle-in to Yordan. Does not matter what the pitch is.

T3
Bibee pitching

Matthews - 3-0, 3-1, walks
Correa - 6-4-3 DP
Alvarez - full count, liner into right for a single
Altuve - around to bunt but takes ball one, second ball after Jose wins a challenge, 2-0 count. Liner into left holds up just enough to be caught

Still 2-0 Astros

Honestly, I’d probably just walk him

Kwan with a “clean?” single to the right side. To a space vacated by Walker as he ran to first to take the throw from ???

Boy, hitters really struggle with Lambert’s fastball.

Something funky about it for sure

Thigh-high in the zone at 95-96 usually gets you demolished these days but they’re just not on it.

T4
Bibee pitching

Walker - 5 pitch walk
Paredes - P5
Smith - K’s swinging
Johnson - showing bunt, takes strike one. F9

Still 2-0 Astros

This pitcher’s name makes me think of the Three Stooges’ song Swingin’ the Alphabet.

Lambert pitching

Valera - grounder to 2nd, Altuve boots it, recovers to get the out call but it’s going to be overturned

A routine I only know from King of the Hill.

Phew. Thought Naylor had put more into that one off the bat.

Yep, overturned, E4
Schneemann - K’s swinging at a breaking ball in the dirt, it gets away from Vazquez and Valera moves up to 2nd
Brito - 3U on the first pitch, Valera to 3rd
Naylor - L9 on the first pitch

Astros still lead 2-0 after 4
