ahh, the ssssssssteM
Paredes is a lug on the basepaths, but he got there.
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.
Marte, who was HBP in his first AB, grounder DIVING STOP By Paredes, pops up and throws him out! Lil’ leather there! 2 outs.
He gives you plenty of time to inspect his running mechanics.
Doughnut Truck??
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.

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.

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