Astros @ Orioles June 23, 2021

McCormick with a solo homer. 12-0 Astros. 1 out, top of the 8th.

Oh, please. Greed and cutthroat behavior are too, but that does not make them admirable.

Before we get too deep in the weeds, I think most criticism of Altuve has been in the vein of ā€œHe is a great player, but this aspect which is in his control keeps him from being even greaterā€.

As are arrogant and condescending behaviors. Nothing to admire there.

Maybe not an inning from the IP standpoint.

He is a very good player and an excellent hitter, but his shortcomings keep him from being considered great, in my opinion. He could be one of the greatest ever if he had situational awareness and plate discipline. He is not great now, but he could be.

He also appears to be a wonderful person.

Garcia scores on a Toro single. Astros 13-0. Top of the 8th. 2 outs (after Straw fly out).

Bielak in to pitch the 8th.

Another strong outing from Urquidy.

Here I sit at Globe Life Field in a 0-0 game rooting for the Rangers to beat the As.

Bielak loads the bases with no outs.

Iā€™ll allow it.

How the stadium?

I havenā€™t been there yet.

Oriole announcers think Bielak needs a Greinke pause in his delivery to gather himselfā€¦

Very nice.

1-0 Rangers.

Garza Jr, in for the bottom of the 9th.
