Astros @ Padres, September 17, 2024

Astros put the first two on, have runners at the corners followed by back to back pitiful at bats by Diaz (strike out swinging over his head) and Bregman (caught looking). Just awful.

No score.

Ok, but can I just add…fuck that fucking umpire!

Bad calls happen. But your 4-5 hitters not being able to put a fucking ball in play shouldn’t.

Diaz took two meatballs before hacking at a pitch in his eyes. Bregman got two pitches to hit. Strike three was close. No excuses.

Profar with a 2-out single…because of course.

Machado with a seeing eye single.

The Padres have good players who play like good players.

This game is dangerously close to being over.

Higashioka tries the safety squeeze, pops it up. Two down.

As much as I hate the shift that wasn’t the shift, Altuve was moving to cover second on a stolen base attempt. It was a hit and run and keep running.

Arraez flies out F9. Good job by HB

No score after two

I stand corrected. And slightly less annoyed.

BTW, Salazar is active tonight, Gamel to IL

I forgot to mention…tonight is the Harvest Moon. Hopefully it wakes the bats up.
