Middle of one…no score
Dear Christ, 2 minutes of audio from this broadcast and I’m fully Worrell engaged.
Swap to the Astros radio audio
Just realized that the gear icon on Youtube offers the Astros Radio broadcast as well.
Which means Eschenfelder, which is no better. Back to muted.
Attaboy Yuli. Take a meatball down the middle then swing an hour early on a changeup out of the zone. Then pop a pitch a foot outside for an out.
Fucking awful.
I see a couple of familiar faces behind the plate
Two on, two out for Diaz…
Splat.
Diaz flies out to end the inning.
Astros leave more RISP…no score
Where should I be looking?
Behind home plate. About four rows up
Pena punches a 1-out single to RF
Meyers with a single, Pena to 2B…two on for Maldonado…
MACHETE!!!
3-0 Astros
WOOT!!
MALDY! GRIP IT AND RIP IT!
Dusty’s a genius!
Got a 2-0 meatball set right on a fucking tee.
