Cam Smith takes a breaker at the bottom of the zone, 0-1. Slow roller to the right of Lindor, fields and fires and gets Cam by half a step at 1st. Pretty slick play there.

Nimmo takes a ball and a strike. Swings through a breaker low and away, 1-2. Up and in. Emergency swing fouled back. Ponche on a curveball! 1 out.

He gives you plenty of time to inspect his running mechanics.

Good inning from Framber there.

Taylor takes strike one on the inside corner. Takes a strike at the top of the zone, 0-2. low and in curve, 1-2. Chops a curve foul. slapped up the 3rd base line, foul. That was right down the middle. Way inside fouled off. Holds off on a low curve, 2-2. Hit pretty well the center, Meyers backs up and settles under it. As he catches it Cam Smith comes FLYING by behind him backing up the catch. Love it.

Mid 4

3-0 Astros

Hey!

Good game so far, improving by the inning.
As long as Juan Soto ain’t standing by the plate.

Bottom 4

Dana Brown in the booth with the gang.

Rodgers takes a sweeper away. Swings through a fastball at the bottom of the zone, 1-1. Takes a curve at the bottom of the zone. Slapped foul protection swing. Low and away. Swings through an absolute meatball curve right down the middle at 81. Yuck. 1 out.

Only be there this weekend.

Meyers fouls back a fastball. Slaps a fastball back up the middle under a diving Lindor’s glove, single!

Altuve, with a runner on first, throw over not that close, swings at a pitch at his fucking shoetops, strike 1, DRILLED back up the middle for a single!

Lots of great up-the-middle swings today.

Paredes needs to unhook that bass boat. He’s making Machete look like Bob Hayes.

Paredes 1st and 2nd and one out, curve catches the outside corner, 0-1. Takes a center cut meatball, 0-2. Low and away, 1-2. Low, 2-2. Way outside, full count. Fouled back a curve, that was a mistake pitch. Hit hard to 3rd, 5-4-3 on a really awkward looking double play. Alonzo made a great stretch and held the corner of the bag at first.

End 4

3-0 Astros

El Oso Blanco Segundo? Maybe he’ll lead the league in triples.
