Astros at 2B, 3B, one out for JP
PeƱa grounds out 4-3, but Bregman scores
Heyward lines out to CF
But the Astros plate a pairā¦lead 2-0
A couple of really well struck balls for outs and a couple of doinks that drop. Gotta love it.
Iāll admit to a fandom that may be excessive, borderline irrational, but sitting Singleton against RHP is never the move to make.
Iām ok with occasionally giving Diaz a break to play 1B and Caratini behind the plate against RHP. But it happens too often.
End of fourā¦2-0 Astros
Have to give Hunter some kudos - nothing like a shut down inning following an offensively productive inning
Good job by Brown to put up a zero right after a 2-run Astro inning.
Couldnāt have said better myself.
Iām not one to get excited about Astros giveaway trinkets, but I have to admit I wouldnāt mind one of those sugar skull bobble heads.
Astros down in order
Halfwayā¦2-0 Astros.
Iām perfectly fine with Yainer or Victor playing first against a left handed starter. If they want to give Yainer a day off from catching and keep his bat in the lineup Iām pretty sure they can figure out how to make that happen.
Holy shit this whole crew is a fucking joke.
I donāt care for Caratini against LHP. He needs to start against righties. I suppose those are days you could DH Yainer.
Heās definitely much better from the left side. If he vibes better with a certain pitcher or two Iād pair him with them irrespective of the opposing pitcher.
Thatās a really nice pickup by PeƱa.
Seattle had the bases loaded in the bottom of the first with 1 out. Pop foul for the second out, then Robles (on third) tried to catch the pitcher napping on the throw back from the catcher after the 3-0 pitchā¦ and was gunned down at home.
Arraez down on strikes for the second time this month. What is the world coming to
2-0 Astros
Holy sweet fuck, ump.
