Astros @ Red Sox, August 9, 2024

Altuve got on base. Don’t count on me for PBP.

Altuve and Bregman on the corners. Yordan taps into a 3-6-3 and the run scores.

Yanier pops up to CF.

Mid 1
1-0 good guys

Solid breeze blowing out to LF

It’s carrying. Duran’s double off the wall wasn’t hit terribly hard it just didn’t come down.

Wilyer Abreu is a terrific Abreu name.
Blanco gets him to 2-2, misses outside, gets a foul on a nice pitch on the outside edge…
And then strikes him out looking on a high curve.

Masataka Yoshida grounds out 4-3. Duran to third. Two down.

Blanco should not throw Devers a fastball anywhere near the zone. He doesn’t, and strikes him out swinging up and in after two foul balls on down and in.

End 1
Astros 1 - Red Sox 0

Of course I’m quite glad we traded for Christian Vasquez and won a WS, because that shit is fun, but Wilyer would look pretty good in the OF right now.

Singleton pops up to what should be the pitchers mound but the wind carries it to deep shortstop.

World Series is one of the few funner things to say than Wilyer.

Pena grounds out to third on a close play when the throw is in the dirt.

Dezenzo reaches on an easy error by the shortstop.

Meyers grounds out 5-4.

Middle 2, up by 1.

Sogard with a two out base hit to right center.

Rafaela singles to center-left. Runners on first and second.

Hamilton doubles of the out of town scoreboard, knocks in two.

1-2 Sox.

A lineout to center puts the rally to rest.

I’m proud of Meyers for hitting Pena on the fly
