This aged nicely

I bought a thing of fancy citrus juice at Central Market a while back with “no added sugar.” First or second ingredient was “cane juice.”

Ball sure jumps off his bat in a hurry.

I do wish Statcast measured the time for HR to leave the ballpark, because that was out in the blink of an eye

Following the Yordan leadoff HR:

Diaz singles up the middle
Pena lines out hard to CF
Caratini singles up the middle, Diaz to 2b
Meyers hits a bullet but Seager snags it for a 6-4-3

Mid 3, Astros up 2-0

Yordan waking back up certainly is a nice development.

Apparently they do, TK says it was 4.2 seconds

Where are we at on cloning Yordan and hitting him in a couple more places in this batting order?

Easily done in the Production truck with video replay.

I think they’re trying to clone Tucker instead and that’s why we haven’t seen him

I hope it works better than The Fly.

Or Shou Tucker (!) if you’re familiar with the anime Full Metal Alchemist

Kikucki battles, strands a pair in the fourth.

Through four…2-0 Astros.

If it happens on a baseball field, statcast probably tracks it

Victor!

Good stuff from Caratini

Let’s go! Blow this game wide open

Dezenzo single
Dubon rbi double
Altuve rbi single

5-0 Astros

Someone needs to talk to Dezenzo about the mustache. He looks like puberty hasn’t kicked in.

Bochy is still a hell of a manager but he might need a motor scooter to get to the mound soon.
