Astros at White Sox July 20 2024

Getting owned by a 2-6 pitcher with a 5.35 ERA is a great feeling.

When youā€™re facing an incredible pitcher like checks notes Chris Flexen, you really had no chance to begin with

Hereā€™s the offense Iā€™ve gotten used to lately. Sigh

Jose singles in Dubon from second. 2-3

Good grief, Altuve couldnā€™t have hit that second strike with a broom. So, naturally, they fuck up and throw him an inside fastball that he lines into LF to drive in Dubon.

Bregman singles, Altuve to third. Pitching change. Yordan singles, Altuve scores, Bregman to third. Tie game.

Well, weā€™re tied again. Hummel with a chance to give the Astros the lead againā€¦

High chopper and low throw gives the Astros the lead!

The Sox first basemen isnā€™t exactly a fielding machine. Scored a TE5, but that should be an E3

Theyā€™re calling it a TE5.

I saw that. The ball didnā€™t bounce, did it? I know the throw was low, but you gotta make that grab.

Vaughn is not covering himself in glory for sure. Should still be 3-3

Gameday doesnā€™t elaborate.

Itā€™s not too hard to see why the White Sox arenā€™t winning many games.

Iā€™m watching and didnā€™t see it hit the dirt. Shoulda been caught.

On the Gameday replay, it looks like it hit the ground and the 1Bā€™s glove at the same time. Definitely a catchable ball, regardless.

ETA: Nope. It short-hopped him. Still catchable.

Even if it did, picking a bounce clean is pretty much expected of a modern Major League first baseman.

Bases jacked, two out, 3-2 count, start the carousel.

How do you miss that as an umpire?

2nd HBP reversal this series
