Mariners @ Astros, July 26, 2020

B1:

Brantley strikes out looking

B1:

Bregman doubles to LCF, Altuve scores, Bregman throw out by 60 feet trying to make 3B…score it 7-6-2-5.

Boneheaded baserunning kills the rally, but the Astros cut the lead in half…2-1 Mariners

T2:

Lopes grounds out 3-1

T2:

Smith grounds out 3-1

T2:

Hudson pops out F4

2-1 Mariners

B2:

Gurriel taps back to the mound…1-3

B2:

Correa singles to RF

B2:

Jones, in his first Major League at bat…grounds into 6-4-3 double play

Rat farts

2-1 Mariners

T3:

Long strikes out swinging

Grienke looks like he remembered that he’s a control pitcher after the first inning.

T3:

Crawford…3-0…walks on four pitches…immediately after Mark mentioned his control

T3:

Lewis strikes out swinging

T3:

Seager walks, Crawford to 2B…Greinke wanted no part of Seager

The first two pitches to Crawford were strikes, FWIW. He is finer than the ump is willing to reward, so far.

T3:

White…full count…flies out F9

2-1 Mariners

And my point was that he’d stopped piping pitches after the 1st.

88 MPH fastballs on the outer 3rd generally get smashed.

B3:

Reddick flies out F9

B3:

Maldonado…0-2…strikes out swinging at a pitch in the dirt. That was an ugly at bat

B3:

Springer hits a screaming line drive right at Seager at 3B. Almost took Seager’s arm off, but it’s an out

2-1 Mariners

T4:

Someone makes an out. Lost power, didn’t see
