Brantley “available” off the bench, but Singleton on deck to hit for Maldy. Yeah, right.
Pena doing his thing.
Diaz, McCormick, & Pena single to load the bases.
Singleton bats for Maldy…
Top 7, 'Stros down 0-5, loaded, none out…
Why not hit Brantley here?
SF to RF, 1-5, 1 out. No advance.
On the board w/ Singleton.
I’ll take it, wanted more
Come on, 'Tuve.
Might need a new bat…
I wish Altuve would shut these motherfuckers up.
2-2 for 'Tuve, K’s,
2 outs.
Breg out.
1-5 Mariners thru top of 7th.
Happy to see the boys are right back to sucking dick on ice after a taste of false hope yesterday.
Maton starts bot of 7th, 1-5 Mariners
Raleigh GO to 1st
Julio single to Tuck
1 on, 1 out
It was a foregone conclusion that Bregman wasn’t going to do shit there because he’s been terrible or worse lately, but Altuve’s getting called out on strikes there is completely inexcusable.
Fortunately for the Astros, the bottom of the order’s due up again so there is some hope.
As much as they are physically tired, I think they are mentally struggling, too. They need a re-set.
Bot 7, 1-5, 1 on, 1 out
2 sweepers for strikes, then two balls, foul, foul, (get a DP, nope) K
2 outs
Oh, they’ll get one.
Bot 7, 1-5, 1 on, 2 out
Kelenic 1-2, K, 3 outs
Top 8th 1-5,
Go Yordan, Tuck, & Jose A!
What? A rest or reset?
Hopefully the latter.
