Fishslingers @ AL West Champion Astros, September 25, 2024

I probably do not have time to do PBP for the same reason I had to cancel plans to attend live, but maybe by opening up this thread I can entice someone else to weigh in.

Kikuchu set them down in order in the first.

Astros resting Altuve (Whitcomb) and Tucker (Heyward).

Alvarez still convalescing after amuptation.

Any word on when Yordan gets fitted for his prosthetic leg?

Pena just stole 2nd and 3rd to get to 20 on the season (reached via HBP)

Early, but Kikuchi is painting the strike zone. Picasso kinda shit.

You just hate to see the M’s desperately trying to keep their season alive while the Astros have cruise control engaged. I feel not bad at all for them.

I hope those scurvy lubbers eat weevely hardtack and drink bilge water while watching the playoffs from that leaky flotsam they call Seattle.

Caratini singles home Doubleton…1-0 Astros

Did he scamper?

Hard to tell. I’m guessing he was picking them up and putting them down.

With a great throw from cf he would have been out. We got some help there.

I’ve forgotten what a great throw from CF looks like.

BTW, we’re halfway…Astros lead 1-0

Whitcomb is strengthening Bregman’s bargaining position.

Verlander should get the 9th.

Turner with a 2-out, 2-run single.

Not a bad pitch at all, and a great day on the mound today for Kikuchi. Regardless of the score.

Mariners get two unearned runs on Whitcomb’s iron glove at 3B…lead 2-1

Jose Altuve going on the public record with Chandler Rome to profess he wants Bregman to stay long term should be a sign to Crane and Dana Brown to get a deal done.
