I take some time to comment in the nerd sci-fi thread and the Astros score 5 runs.
Maldonado takes 98 at the knees 0-1, lines a slider foul, stays alive with a foul tip, takes way inside 1-2, way outside 2-2, fouls a slider, Ks looking at a slider up in the zone.
10-3 Astros
Next time we’re at bat you need to go there and comment on Picard vs Kirk
Raley stays in
Arenado doubles to left
Murphy grounds out 4-3, runner to 3rd
McMahon homers to right center
10-5
cement mixer, meet the visitors bullpen
Rodgers 0-2, fouls, Ks “swinging” at a pitch 2 feet over his head.
Momentum would not be denied.
Hilliard lobs a single into center
Wolters 1-0, fouls 1-1, takes a curve that scrapes the inside corner 1-2, Ks swinging
10-5 End 5
5 innings.
We’ve played 5 innings.
A Coors Field slugfest in the traditional style…
Top 6
Harvey (RHP) on the mound; Astros 10 runs vs Márquez who has given up 8 in his other 5 starts combined
Springer hit by a tailing FB on the back arm
Altuve can’t hold up 0-1, fouls a breaking ball 0-2, grounds to short, Springer out on 6-4 FC; no throw to first
Correa takes low 1-0, Altuve jams a finger diving back on a pickoff attempt, ball inside 2-0, outside 3-0, strike on the corner 3-1; medical visit to the mound as Harvey says something is wrong.
New pitcher coming up with yet another injured pitcher.
Kinley to pitch with a 3-1 count to Correa
Correa chases a FB off the plate/fouls 3-2, Altuvev picked off 1st, Correa bounces out 5-3
Mid 6
10-5
Another basepath blunder.
Bottom 6
Raley pitching, James warming
Tapia 2-2, fouls, inside 3-2, fouls a low FB, takes a curve way inside
Leadoff walk ends Raley. James coming in to face the righties.
Zero percent chance that walk does not come around to score.
For fuck’s sake, Reddick.
That was fucking awful.
Story 0-1, fly ball to right misjudged by Reddick, double with runner to 3rd
