Dodgers @ Astros, 7/28

Nice inning by Framber. So far, it’s been a night to remamber for Framber.

…sorry

Altuve leads off the bottom of the 4th fouling off a breaking ball for strike 1. Fouls back a fastball, 0-2. Jose rips a breaking ball right at Turner, 5-3.

1 out.

Bregman takes strike 1 on the outside corner. Slider outside, 1-1. Slider low. Slapped against the shift, Muncy ranges over like a bear on roller skates and feeds to Buehler 3-1.

2 outs.

Boooo. (I laughed).

Brantley with 2 outs and nobody on takes a breaker in the zone, strike 1. Buehler has thrown 37 strikes and 9 balls so far. Bounced, ball 1. Drop shot down the left-field line falls in for a single, Brantley slams on the brakes and heads back to first after thinking about going 2.

Yuli with a runner on and 2 outs takes ball one low and out. Fastball/cutter out, 2-0. Buehler at 50 pitches now. Out, ball 3. Low and out, 4 pitch walk.

1st and 2nd now with 2 outs.

Michael Brantley’s approach at the plate is a thing of beauty.

Correa with 2 on and 2 outs takes outside. Taylor heads out to the mound to try and get Buehler back on track. Fastball out, 2-0. Fouls back a fastball, 2-1. Correa rips one to center, Bellinger fields it on one hop and fires home, Brantley slides in ahead of the throw!

2-0 Astros!
Runners on 1st and 2nd

Sadly, yes.

Correa! He’s having a good night. That RBI knock sends Buehler to the showers, foo.

Dodger bullpen seeing some action suddenly as Reddick heads to the plate. And whoa, here comes Dave Roberts to get Buehler.

2-0 Astros
2 outs, runners on first and second.

I love the honesty.

EVERYBODY STOP ENJOYING THEMSELVES! THE FUN POLICE DEMAND IT!

Tell em Carlos

Looks like the Rodney deal is official.

On comes Kolarek to face Reddick, lefty lefty and WHOA way inside Reddick just gets out of the way and the ball goes to the wall. Runners advance to second and third, 1-0. Reddick slashes one in the hole and Seager makes a GREAT diving play in the hole for the out.

That would’ve scored at least one, but the Astros double their lead.

End 4
2-0 Astros

Seager takes a breaker inside for ball 1. Just up, ball 2. Center cut fastball slammed in to CF for a single.

Runner on first for Pollock who takes a bouncer, ball 1. Swings over a low curve, 1-1. Another curve low, 2-1. Another center cut fastball and Pollock finds the hole in the shift between 2nd base and SS. Wasn’t hit particularly hard, but effective.

Somewhere HH is cussing the shift.

Shift takes away a tailor-made double play ball.
