Some shuffle in the lineup as Altuve moved down to the 7-hole.
No score after one
Javier with a 1,2,3 second
Javier thus far really has taken advantage of his opportunity created by the pandemic.
Yordan with a 200-mph single through the shift,
Yuli doubles him to 3B
Nobody out
Yep. Couple of guys have. Been pretty impressed with Javier to this point.
Correa…3-0…grounds out 5-3. Blah.
That was hilarious. It was basically right at the 2nd baseman out in RF, and he still ole’d it. He wanted nothing to do with that ball.
Altuve grounds out 6-3 as Yordan scores
1-0 Astros
Under normal circumstances, he would have been in RR for awhile.
Tucker grounds out into the shift
We’ve played two…1-0 Astros
Astros have three starters hitting below the Mendoza Line: Springer, Altuve, and Tucker.
All the sudden Javier has lost his command…
And he gets out of the inning by some really boneheaded baserunning by the Ms
Smith hits a lazy fly ball to LF, and for some dumb reason, Evan White is doubled off of 1B. Maybe forgot how many outs?
1-0 Astros
So…White ran all the way to 2B, had to retouch and then couldn’t find the bag. Which may be worse than forgetting how many outs there are.
Astros go quickly and quietly in the 3rd
1-0
Tiny strike zone tonight
Fuck!
Javier getting the living shit squeezed out of him
Except that I’ve seen him call a bunch of pitches strikes that were 3" off the plate. He’s completely confusing.
Javier walks one, but Machete guns down a would be base thief, and Javier has faced the minimum through 4
1-0 Astros.
Machete has been throwing really well.
