Exactly. And to get to know all the pitchers in case he is needed if Maldy is out for a more crucial game in the future.
After the Yuli fuck up, Thompson HBP…Astros challenging, saying it hit the bat.
That’s one way to prove to Dusty that Mancini can play 1B just as well.
Sure looked like that hit the knob of the bat.
Looked that way to me too. And it did.
His reaction should’ve been more than enough. If that hit his hand/fingers, he wouldn’t have calmly dropped his elbow pad and walked around.
WTF???
Ruling stands…HBP
I did call the Astros getting fucked on that deal.
How the fuck is that not a foul ball? Jesus christ you blind cocksuckers
The ball clearly hit the knob of the bat. I guess his hand was far enough down that the ball hit it too.
Not exactly a scintillating interview.
That was a makeup call on Semien. One down
Another punch out of Seager…two down
Infield single by Garcia loads the bases…two out.
Rangers have more infield hits in this series than I have ever seen
Would have liked to have seen Altuve at least attempt to cover 2B on that one.
So Yuli fucked up the routine ground ball to him, Framber hit the 9-hitter with an 0-2 pitch, now an infield single where Altuve didn’t bother to cover 2B…let’s see if we can completely fuck this inning up…
Fly ball ends it
Framber strands the bases loaded…3-0 Astros
Good job from Framber getting 6 outs that inning
Bregman draws a leadoff walk.
