Astros at Tays, 8/14/24

Mid 2, 0-0 after the Astros face all of 4 pitches in the second. Blanco on the hill.

Time to get our bats going

It’s been a pop up fest so far for the visitors.

And Chaz could not even make contact … oof.

McCormick breaks the pop up /weak grounder streak by quickly striking out.

He’s in such a bad way.

That’s 9 up, 9 down for the Astros.

TB’s lone baserunner thus far reached on an E3 as Dezenzo was catching mice on a grounder to his right.

Same with Meyers

It’s brutal to have them both struggling and both in the lineup each night.

Nice play there by Dezenzo applying the tag after an errant throw from Peña.

Nice tag by Dezenzo

Not so nice play.

Tough hop.

First hit by the Rays.

Blanco got him chasing.

That was a .165 hitter.

The law of averages smiled on him there. He hit it pretty sharply.

“So you’re telling me there’s a chance.”

Pop out fittingly ends the inning.

Swell, we START the 4th with another pop out

In Yordan we trust

A baserunner! Baby steps tonight
