Rangers @ Astros, September 2, 2020

Holy crap that was not close.

The banned-in-China-Rockets lead 61 to 59 at the half.

Bottom 8

New pitcher: Rodriguez (LHP)

Reddick scalds a ball off the fence in right on a hop for a loud single

Díaz grounds into a 5-4 FC, no throw to first

Who has the ninth?

Pressly

Has to be.

Maldonado takes an 0-1 pitch low, Diaz to second on WP, takes wide 2-1, FB wide 3-1, walks

He saw zero strikes in that AB

Fuck George…two fucking cookies

Fucking pathetic

Springer takes a FB right down the middle, takes another strike, Ks swinging

That might have been Springer’s worst at bat ever.

Altuve with 2 on and 2 out, takes a strike up in the zone, lines out F8

So a hit, a wild pitch, and a walk, and the Astros manage to see 11 pitches.

I never expect Altuve to drive in runs any more but at least he hit it pretty well.

Downright Altuvian.

Does Springer know he’s a free agent after this season?

Should have been 10.

The pitch Machete swung at was 5 inches off the plate.

Pressly starts the 9th

Kiner-Falefa takes a slider on the corner, tips another slider, taps out 1-3

Shit, I thought Pressly was gonna throw that comebacker into RF
