Guardians @ Astros, August 2, 2023

Chas has transitioned from opposite field power almost exclusively to turning on pitches that need to be turned on.

Looks repeatable too.

Leadoff walk. Aces

Just no command.

I don’t think we’re going to get 6 IP out of Blanco today.

Insanity is starting Julks over and over and expecting different results

I’ll be shocked if we get 4.

You misspelled 4.

Not just starting him…starting him specifically for his bat.

6-4-3 ends the top half of the third

Still 2-2

That was unexpected and much-needed.

Ramirez is one of the bright young players in the game.

Many aren’t aware of what he had to overcome to get there.

Or that he used to be called Rafi.

And played for a fictional team.

Just roll with it:

You sure about that?

Bregman with a 2-out single

Enjoyed that standoff.

End of three…2-2

Damn.

I do think Yordan needs to reacquaint himself with the CBs.

Almost did there.

Grrrr…

Walk, single…two on, nobody out for the Guardians

At least the bullpen is rested

This HPU also likes to take his time making the strike call.

“I’ve been horribly erratic so far. Is it a ball? Is it a strike? You don’t know what I’m gonna call, do you?”
