Minter in to face Alvarez with two on, two out
Yordan pops up
Through seven…2-1 Braves
Ugh.
Got a pitch to hit. Just didn’t get it.
That was probably the best remaining chance.
Ok. Bed time.
Someone besides Altuve needs to hit.
Oh FFS. Timer violation just because you waited too long on 2-2?
And then a walk on a clear strike 3.
Fuck off, blue. That was strike three.
Why on earth is Bielak warming?
Good job, Abreu!
Nice double play!
Good job, Bryan!
Astros’ offense: Have good at bats and score some fucking runs!
And quit fucking around.
You aren’t going to win many games scoring one run.
So if Diaz blocks that pitch, Peña’s at double play position and that’s a 6-4-3
Closers pitching in non-save situations usually doesn’t go well. Hader has pitched in more games with the Astros trailing than he has protecting a lead.
Hader brought the gas can.
