T1:
Greinke gets a pair of strikeouts, then works around a single.
No score.
B1:
Springer grounds to SS…clank, right off the iron bar in Ahmed’s glove. E6
B1:
Altuve…3-0…3-1 at the knees on the corner…swinging strike below the knees fills the count…Altuve’s head still in the 3B dugout…walks, Springer to 2B
B1:
Brantley lines one off the LCF wall…Springer had to hold to make sure it wasn’t caught, so it’s a 400-ft single off the wall…bases juiced, nobody out
B1:
Bregman…works the count full…takes a meatball right down the center for strike three.
Glad our cleanup hitter is up there looking to mash the ball and not draw a walk.
How are you not ready to hit a center-cut fastball 3-2 with the bases loaded?
B1:
Tucker…0-2…foul…wild pitch, Springer scores, Altuve to 3B, Brantley to 2B…
B1:
Tucker…now works the count full…swings at a pitch at his ankles, 9 inches off the plate.
Get out of the way ump!
Jesus, fuck the offense
That was fucking pitiful.
B1:
Gurriel…0-2…takes a meatball right down the center of the plate
Astros manage to get a run, no fault of their own, but that was as bad as you’ll ever see from the heart of the order.
1-0 Astros
I wonder if Zack Geinke and Zach Gallen are Zach Galifankis fans?
T2:
Peralta strikes out swinging
Runners on first/second, drive bounces off the wall…
Everyone moves up a base.
That sums up theSeptember offense nicely.
T2:
Ahmed grounds out 5-3
B2:
Smith strikes out swinging
1-0 Astros
Well you’re just a sunshine pumper tonight.
Note yesterday on Correa was that of his 40-something hits, 38ish are singles.
He has 1 more HR than Altuve.
