Astros @ Twins, May 11 2022

Jesus, I hope the Astros pitchers are going to get that outside corner as well.

Altuve lines to CF, who is now Celestino, and Brantley bounces to the pitcher.

The rookie gets a 1-2-3 debut inning.

We’re in for both games. Section 108, which is 1B side, up from the 2B-to-1B line extended.

Off to a great start, dots the bottom of the zone and it’s called down.

Fuck, Abreu. Come on, man.

We’re sitting right where that foul ball went (from Miranda).

That was a bloop pop up, not a liner.

Thanks, went back to game day for the reference and was misled.

Abreu’s stuff is just ridiculous. It’s so frustrating that he’s 3-2 on everyone.

Abreu follows the lead off walk with three straight strikeouts.

Man, that Contreras kid can fly.

Bregman with a shallow fly out.
Alvarez tips his cap to his fellow Cuban, then breaks his bat for a fly out to shallow center on a good dive by the CF.
Yuli grounds to third.

Let’s wake up a little.

Celestino with a lead off double, Lewis follows with a line single up the middle, Celestino holds at third.

Mark Contreras in his first career at bat:

Flies to center field two steps short of the track on the first pitch. Sac fly, runner at first holds.

5-2 Astros.

ETA: I guess it becomes his first plate appearance, but not his first at bat.

Kepler grounds to first, off Yuli’s glove on a tough backhand but Altuve backs him up for the 3-4-3.

Sanchez HBP on the back of the hand. I guess he’ll have trouble catching the ball.

For fuck’s sake, Abreu. At least NEAR the plate, please.

Polanco strikes out on a 3-2 slider down and in.

Abreu escapes further damage and will likely give way to Maton next inning.

Tucker with a moonball HR!

Tucker with what looked like a VERY wind aided HR to RF!

6-2 Astros
