Astros @ Mariners, July 26, 2021

Single, K, Shiftfuck single, K, and Seager drives a 1-2 pitch out to right.

It’s 8-6.

2 outs

That’s it for Garcia.

He wasn’t nearly a terrible in his 2/3s of the 5th.

But he threw an absolute meatball to Seager and that’s that.

Yeah, there weren’t a bunch of bad pitches, but the nibbling and pitch wasting is fucking infuriating.

Abreu gets a lineout to center.

Luis let the Mariners back in this game.

Just terrible in his last 1.2 innings.

Bats quiet in the 6th.

Alvarez walked, everyone else popped up.

And Carlos watches a 2-0 middle of the plate FB only to pop out on the next shittier pitch.

Abreu follows up a 1-out walk by going 2-0 on the next batter, evens the count then goes full, gets the swinging K.

Shed Long watches a WP advance the runner, drives in the run with a shiftfuck single.

It’s 8-7.

Maldy gotta block that.

The wp was a breaking ball in the dirt.

The single was corkscrewed thru the abandoned left side.

Don’t walk the second batter and none of that matters.

The Astros are going to lose this game.

This has been pretty fucking horrible since the first few innings.

I switch over to watch Olympic Rugby (USA Men are through to the quarterfinals, btw) and come back to watch the Astros shitting the bed. Good Lord.

Taylor in to face a lefty.

Gets the K.

8-7

Sure feels that way.

Oh good.

Another pop up.

That went straight between his legs

Toro drives one to the track for a loud out.

Straw flies out to RF.

Taylor gets the top of the order out.

Mid 7

I will say, as a complete aside, that the game of men’s and women’s Olympic volleyball has completely changed. Everyone is a giant.

I also watched USA-Ireland in Rugby on the other screen during the game tonight, I still do not understand the rules.

Rugby has like 4 rules, and I don’t understand 2 of them.
