Fish at Astros, 7/10/24

You’d have your hands full with her. She has a lot to get off her chest. :wink:

Chance for Diaz to really blow this game up here

2-run single for Diaz. 9-1 Astros

Her eyes are a little too far apart

And one is slightly larger than the other

One unsightly freckle, 2.5/10, would kick out of bed for eating crackers

The Ort Cloud in relief

Kaleb Ort? Now they’re just toying with me.

Caleb spelt with a K bothers me way more than it should

Who the hell is this guy and where the hell did he come from and why the hell isn’t he walking the first batter like any self respecting reliever?

Came here wondering the very same thing.

I’ll take the 98 mph heater from this mystery pitcher.

You know what was really cool about that walk off two footer for Bregman?

THERE WAS NO FUCKING GHOST RUNNER THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE WHOLE THING FROM HAPPENING

Position player pitching alert

I like how GameDay is calling every pitch an eephus, be it 57 or 86 mph

The Astros picked up Ort from Baltimore and immediately gave him the McHugh glow-up and it’s dead obvious from his pitch usage charts on Fangraphs. Last year he threw a four-seamer 70% of the time. Now that’s down around 40%, and that thirty percent has mostly gone into cutters and changeups. Seems to be working.

I’m not a cracker, but I could learn

If he keeps striking everyone out he seems perfectly entitled to spell his name with a K.

You getting this from his work in SL, or the 3 IP in Houston?

If he wants to strikeout two batters an inning, I will begrudgingly accept his spelling

In summary:

Astros win 9-1
Mariners win, Astros still 2 GB
Rangers losing
Sydney Sweeney is certainly not up to our standards, not at all
Kaleb Ort is both a Star Wars bounty hunter and a promising reliever off the waiver wire
