I don’t think Grienke is going to get flapped tonight.

22

Where do we stand on Frito Pie?

23

That’s a postseason thing. At least at my house.

24

B2:

Correa taps slowly back to the mound on the first pitch

25

B2:

Reddick takes strike one a foot off the plate…swings and misses at a pitch in the dirt…ball in the dirt, but Reddick amazingly doesn’t offer…pops to 3B

26

B2:

Maldonado…full count…takes strike three on the corner

1-0 Astros

27

Here’s the Correa note:

28

I’m gonna make a T shirt with that Grienke quote and wear it to parties.

29

T3:

Varsho strikes out swinging

30

Greinke and myself share a similar perspective on things like banal conversations and meetings.

31

T3:

Kelly…0-2…1-2…lines a hanging curve into CF for a single

32

T3:

Rojas grounds into 6U-3 double play

1-0 Astros

33

That’ll do nicely.

34

Springer has a solid strategy tonight.

35

B3:

Springer grounds to 3B…right through the wicket…E5

edit: now their scoring that a hit…the ball went right between VanMeter’s legs

edit to the edit: now changed back to an error when people stopped laughing at the scorer

36

B3:

Altuve…3-1…3-2 trying to yank a pitch off the plate…chops slowly to 3B into a 5-4 FC

37

Here’s a great photo of the aftermath of the 1st inning wp:

38

Altuve, on the other hand, is totally flappable. He’s in a state of perma-flap.

39

B3:

Brantley singles to LF against the shift…Altuve to 2B

40

B3:

Bregman flies to shallow CF
