I always believed Nuke getting called up to the bigs directly from A ball was the biggest flaw in Bull Durham. I guess it can happen after all.

This is the major league debut for the name Nivaldo.
Nivaldo joins Framber and Yuli in the unique name club. All 3 appeared in this game.
I don’t know if that’s happened before, but just for fun let’s say no and enjoy the moment.
And now back to the game.
I swear this season already feels like Manfred woke up from a Sunday afternoon bourbon nap with the hazy dream thought: “What if spring training games counted in the standings…” and then decided to make it a reality.

I switched over to the FS1 broadcast for a couple of minutes. Horrible.
Soft single, couple of outs, then a Betts double.
Full count to Muncy, grounds out 3-1.
Do tell.
Springer up to face Treinen.
Grounds out 6-3.
1 for 20 in 2020.
Altuve works it full, smashes a 1 hopper to 3rd, out 5-3.
Was Springer even trying to beat that out?
FS1 is how I have to watch in SoCal…terrible.
Bregman walks (ball 4 is a slider away bc Treinen isn’t a punk ass)
Brantley taps out 4-3.
To the 9th.
Nivaldo back out for 3-4-5.
Turner walks
Bellinger Ks (ball to the dugout)
Taylor reaches on E5, Turner to 2nd (should have been 5-4-3)
Seager grounds out 4-3, runners advance
Pollock 5-3
2 solid innings from Rodriguez.
What an absolute embarrassment of a showing from the Astros hitters tonight. After the Rookie Brigade stopped the bleeding and held things at 5, the offense took a deep breath and promptly shit themselves.
It’s gonna be a long short season if the offense doesn’t step up.

Jansen pitches the 9th.
Yuli pops out to RF
Correa breaks his bat but the ball settles down the LF line for a double (3 for 4 tonight)
Reddick pops out to 3rd
Toro quickly 0-2, pops out to Seager in shallow left
Astros lose.
Bullpen day tmw.
The ‘incident’ is trending. Venture into the interwebs at your own peril.
Astros had 4 hits, 3 of those from Correa.
Pretty anemic.
And the one time the Astros needed Correa to come through he got punked by a guy that didn’t throw a single fastball.
