Giants @ Astros, August 11, 2020

T2:

Slater steals 2B…throw beat him by about three steps, but Altuve simply didn’t tag him

OK.

That was a great slide.

It was only a great slide because Altuve was inexplicably 3 feet in front of the bag when he got the throw.

Fucking idiotic.

T2:

Tromp, he sixth Aruban to play in the Big Leagues, grounds out 5-3

1-0 Giants

The throw beat by him by so much that Slater could alter his slide to avoid the tag. Altuve just wasn’t paying attention.

B1:

Correa…takes a fat pitch belt high right down the middle…takes strike two on the corner…foul…bouncer makes it 1-2…ball just off the plate…strikes out swinging at a pitch four inches inside

B2:

Tucker, sans batting gloves tonight…triples to CF

Gave that one a ride.

Tucker hit that off the end of the bat, and it still went 405 feet

B2:

Maldonado doubles to LF, Tucker scores

1-1

Machete Machete!

Machete dragging that bass boat into 2B!

Might have some potential… Hope so.

Machete has been the team’s MVP so far.

Anybody who doesn’t throw Maldonado high fastballs deserves to give up an rbi double.

B2:

Straw lines out to 3B…hit that one pretty well, but right at em.

B2:

Altuve…2-0…takes a strike off the plate inside, ouch…3-1…walks

Ball 5, take your base.

Josh!

Bad luck for SF but we’ll take it.
