Game 2: Mets @ Astros, March 28, 2025

That asshole has filled the role formerly played by Pujols.

Brown back out for the third
Torrens up, then down, k’s swinging
Lindor… down 0-2, Hunter misses way high a couple times, 2-2, grounds out to 1B. 2 down
Soto, just 19 years old, a hero really, if you think about it… aaaand fuck he homers to RF on a cutter up
Alonso k’s swinging, 97 smack in the zone

Almost a good bounceback inning for Brown, but it’s 3-0 now on the Soto homer

Maybe the plate is only 17 inches for the Astros

Smith works the count full, fouls one off, caught looking on a fastball that barely clipped the outside corner. 1 out
Rodgers a little jammed, lines out straight to 2B. 2 out
Jake swings at one more than barely off the outside corner for strike 3. Inning over

3-0 Mets after 3

Some pretty lackluster batting from the Good Guys through 3.

I need Altuve to wake the fuck up here the next time through the order.

Nimmo strikes out on a curve in the dirt, Yainer throws to 1B to complete the PO. 1 out
Vientos grounds out, Rodgers moving to his right past 2B, good play. 2 down
Winker, who has altogether too much hair, full count… walks. Bah
Taylor grounds out to P. 3 out

Clean innings proving elusive, but no damage this time. 3-0 Mets

A hit!

Paredes hammered that ball.

How the fuck is Paredes not on 2B?

Jesus Yordan. That was Altuvian.

Re: Paredes not making it to 2B, bounce came straight in off the wall, right where the LF was charging in.

And yet Altuve was standing on 3B after having stopped for a hot dog and a couple of beers…

Walker channeling Altuve there

Diaz channeling Diaz.

Yainer as well.

Altuve, grounder… past Lindor! First Astros baserunner
Paredes LINES one past third, Altuve to 3B, bounce keeps it in front of the LF, single. Runners at the corners, no out
Yordan sac fly to left center, Altuve scores. 3-1 Mets, 1 out
Walker strikes out swinging, breaking ball down. 2 out
Yainer loves to swing, so he swings, three times, and should not have swung at the last one. 3 out

3-1 Mets after 4

The Google AI commercial pisses me off. “When the home pitcher throws a 98mph fastball with 13” of drop etc etc etc it has a X% of the hitter swinging and missing"… who gives a shit if it’s the home or away pitcher? Google doesn’t know ball.
