Yordan!!! Shitmofukin yeah!
I shouted BOOM before he even swung the bat.
My powers extend from the hotel down the street
That is a bad mother fucker
T3:
Meyers doubles down the 3B line
Maldonado sacrifice bunt, 3U, Meyers to 3B…good productive at bat
Dubon…0-2…1-2…strikes out swinging at a pitch 4-ft off the plate…couldn’t have reached it with a long handled shovel
Bregman continues his hacking…works the count full…finally walks
Alvarez crushes a home run to CF!…Meyers scores, Bregman scores! Hanging change up right down the pipe
Abreu grounds out 5-3
3-0 Astros
Yordan hit that damn near straight up, and it still went over 400’
It all worked out for now, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Altuve swing at a ball as far outside as Dubon’s. That ball would have gone behind a left handed batter.
B3:
Trammell strikes out swinging
Wong grounds out 6-3
Rodriguez grounds out 4-3
3-0 Astros
That’s one way to get the run home
Jake, you just earned some serious shit from that ump
T4:
Tucker…full up…doubles to RF
Peña grounds up the middle, knocked down, but no play…infield single as Tucker to 3B. Saved a run for now
Julks lines out to 3B…scorched, but right at em
Peña caught stealing 2-4, as Tucker steals home
Meyers…full count…strikes out swinging
4-0 Astros
I’m shocked he didn’t get a pitch clock violation. It was way more that 7 seconds for him to get back in the box.
B4:
France pops out F3 in foul territory
Kelenic grounds out 3U on the first pitch
Suarez strikes out looking
4-0 Astros
T5:
Maldonado strikes out swinging
Dubon continues to hack…bounces out 4-3 on ball seven. Brutal night
Bregman grounds out 6-3 softly on the first pitch, a fat one right down the center square
Halfway…4-0 Astros
I’ll say this, at least Bregman figured out that the first pitch he sees is likely to be the best pitch to hit.
I had other plans for this half inning.
B5:
Raleigh sneaks one past a diving Dubon into RF, Mariners first hit
Hernandez…0-2…one handed swing at a slider three feet off the plate, and it bloops into RF for a single. Raleigh to 2B
Crawford strikes out swinging
Trammell…wild pitch…Raleigh to 3B, but Hernandez stays at 1B…now a pitch timer violation…ball four to load the bases
Wong…0-2…1-2…foul…doubles to RCF to clear the bases
Rodriguez grounds out 6-3
France flies out F9
4-3 Astros
That inning sucked.
These balls and strikes called on time violations are a total perversion.
T6:
Alvarez pops out F6
Abreu grounds out 5-3
Tucker flies out F9
4-3 Astros
