Tucker is back. Maybe he can unfuck this offense.
Tonight, I’m drinking Kelt XO. Gotta pull out all the stops and try to get a win.
Not a good way to get HPU on your side Framber.
2-out walk to Grichuk
Strike zone elusive
Framber struggles with command, but gets three ground ball outs.
No score.
I’m going with a nice Sancerre. If the ‘stros win, I’ve got an excuse for a pleasant habit.
Altuve with a leadoff double!
I like doubles.
Alvarez fouls off ball five then takes a meatball down the middle for strike three.
Diaz grounds out 6-3 on the first pitch
Tucker, whoever the hell that is, hit by pitch
Peña…hacking at sliders a foot outside…hacks out on ball six.
Astros waste the leadoff double. No score after one
Damn Jeremy.
That one was rolling on the ground.
Once again, if the Astros don’t swing at a single pitch, it’s 1-0 with the bases loaded.
Something something, chase rate, something
Wasn’t it just last year when they were one of the hardest teams to strike out, with one of the best ball-in-play averages? Aside from Tucker, it’s mostly the same guys. What changed?
Altuve swings at everything Yainer swings at everything. Peña swings at everything. McCormick swings at everything.
Framber with a clean inning. No score.
I guess with Tucker back there was a 0.0% chance that Altuve, Alvarez, Bregman and Diaz were all also going to be in the lineup
