How about we get off our dicks today, fellas.
T1:
Chisholm…0-2…foul…strikes out looking
Rojas…0-2…flies out F9
Soler…0-2…1-2…foul…strikes out swinging
JV with 12 pitches, 11 for strikes. No score.
Why, why, why is Bregman batting third???
B1:
Altuve doubles to LF on the first pitch
Altuve to 3B on a wild pitch
Brantley grounds out 3-1 as Altuve scores
Bregman works the count full…grounds out 5-3
Alvarez dribbles one down 3B line for a 37-ft infield single
Tucker taps back to the mound
1-0 Astros
You’re preaching to the choir.
The TZ: The Echo Chamber of Astros Genius.
T2:
Aguilar flies out F8
Sanchez pops to shallow CF
Astudillo lines out to SS
1-0 Astros
The world would be a much better place if everyone just listened to my advice.
Leadoff doubles are fun
B2:
Gurriel with a leadoff double
Peña…0-2…1-2…2-2…soft humpback liner to SS, Rojas with an over the shoulder catch
Castro grounds out 3-1, Gurriel to 3B
Siri…0-2…1-2…foul…strikes out swinging
1-0 Astros
Wasting them…not so much.
Sigh.
That was a pretty nasty pitch.
This team is increasingly difficult to watch. The amount of risp with NO OUT stranded is unconscionable.
The futility of the bottom of the order is eclipsed only by that of the middle.
T3:
Fortes pops to shallow CF
De La Cruz lines to LF on a sliding grab by Brantley
Williams grounds out 6-3
1-0 Astros
Some nice defense that inning.
Man, Williams can absolutely fly.
Is the 24 memorial for Jimmy Wynn?
His number is retired.
