Let’s win another series!
Altuve reaches on an E5
You aim higher than I.
Let’s not shit ourselves!
And Bregman GIDP
Just start winning more than they lose. Baby steps
Astros down on 7 pitches. No score
Arrighetti gives up a leadoff single
Strikeout and long 3-2 walk racking up the pitch count.
Bregman with a nice backhand play to end the inning. No score after one
I think we frequently take Bregman’s defense for granted.

Glad to see he’s back in there after that HBP.
Astros go down without a murmur of protest.
Ok, got a 7:00am flight to Midland tomorrow. Time to hit the sack. Let’s at least get a couple of hits.
Tucker got off the crutches today so I’m hopeful they won’t have to amputate.
Astros with a whopping 33 pitches faced and zero balls out of the infield through 3.
He’s off the crutches because they amputated and then fitted him for a prosthetic.
B3:
Schmidt grounds into a shift-aided 4-3. Oh, we banned the shift? Ok, Altuve was just really close to 2b.
Wisely with a more traditional 4-3

B4:
Soler bounces behind the 3b bag, Bregman can’t corral it. Serves me right for praising his defense.
Baby Yaz with a swinging bunt to Bregman, Soler to 2b, Yaz out at first.
Estrada pops foul to first
Pop to LF, Dubon stumbles to the ground but makes the catch.
End 4, still 0-0
