Yordan gets an RBI knock for the game’s first run with one out in the third.
Me likey
Isaac gets an RBI knock and it’s 2-0 Astros after three innings.
Blummer is shitting all over the Pitt 3B defense
Nice throw/catch/tag by Vazquez and Nick Allen on that CS. ONeil’s not easy to throw out.
Can’t challenge checked swings, right?
Correct.

I could have sworn I saw someone do that the other day, challenge a check swing.
Yet. They’re testing the system now in the minors. The rule would be if the bat goes beyond parallel to the base line.

Which is truly ridiculous: that’s much further around than checks that would easily be called strikes today.
Welp, fellow Tucsonan Nick Gonsales smashes a hanging slider over the plate to give Kara’s team a 7-3 lead in the top of the 7th. I believe that’s called kicking the Astros in the testicles.
I think the point is to create a standard rather than an arbitrary interprtation.

And supposedly it actually favored the hitter in practice
With all their fucking around I’m glad MLB has sped up the games so well.
The Astros now trail 9-6 with 2 out a man on 2nd in the bottom of the eighth.
Pena walks, with Vasquez already on 2nd. Now Yordan represents the tying run at the plate.
Pitching change, Lefty Soto on looking to pick up a 4 out save.
Yordan singles, Vasquez scores, Pena to third. Astros now down 9-7.Walker batting.
Walker hits a dribbler to second, beats the throw that goes wild, Pena scores, Cole running for Alvarez makes it to third.
For those of you who stopped watching, and I don’t blame you, the Astros have tied it 9-9
