Astros @ Rangers, May 22, 2021

McCullers grimacing on the bench

That was a very confusing shot.

Is his arm hurting, is he just exhausted, or was the wrap too tight/painful?

CHAZ!

McCormick!

Homers to RF

Spikes on the Johnson hurt.

Blummer makes an interesting point…

McCullers was at a very unusual spot that inning. Has a pitcher ever struck out 3 AND given up a grand slam in the same inning?

Chas!

This is a very odd game.

Probably…but not giving up the slam after striking out three in the inning.

Altuve strikes out swinging

Obvs what I meant.

Also, another moving part… Without giving up a hit.

His line that inning could’ve been no hits, 3 Ks, grand slam.

That was a frozen rope.

Brantley grounds out 4-3

Astros score another run, but little rest for Lance

3-0 Astros

GS after the wp K wouldn’t be recorded against pitcher?

B2:

IKF singles to LF…first ball put in play for the Rangers

Hey, he didn’t walk the leadoff man.

Yes, it would.

Pitch count is going to get McCullers in the 3rd at this rate.

Interesting. According to the box on MLB, Gallo does not get “credit” for any LOB on his strikeout. Is that right, or is MLB screwy? I guess because he reached base, even if it was on a strikeout?
