Astros @ Rangers, September 6, 2025

After the first three pitches, I said to myself, deGrom wants nothing to do with Alvarez with Altuve on deck. He should have listened to the voices in my head.

Altuve carved the fuck up on three pitches

Halfway…2-0 Astros

I’m doing my part by watching/cursing football teams for a while. I did a great job of screwing Rice at the end of the 1st half. Hopefully the Astros will benefit from my absence.

That’s probably the last strike Alvarez sees tonight. Maybe all weekend.

Smith with a leadoff single

“might be able to”

He hit the absolute piss out of that ball

Langford walks

Brown really struggling now.

This is probably Brown’s last hitter

Isn’t that interference if the batter steps out of the box and in front of the plate while the catcher is attempting a throw?

Pederson caught looking

Not on ball four.

Ahhh…details, details. I’ve got the sound off and am looking over intermittently

Nice DP.

To clarify…not when the runner is forced. He gets 2B without liability to be put out, so there is no interference. If it’s a runner who is not forced by the BB, that’s another story.
