Rangers at Astros, 8/11/22

Fucking Christ, Altuve. How many pitches down the middle are you going to miss?

I’ll say you did

to the 7th…5-0 Astros

Ah yes… Gotta love the Astros Spirit Squad or whatever the hell they’re called.

Taveras with a 1-out single in the 7th.

Culberson lines a hanging 0-2 curve to RF, Taveras to 3B

Duran…0-2…1-2…2-2…fouling off pitches…3-2…finally strikes out on the 10th pitch in the dirt, as Culberson moves to 2B on a wild pitch

Runners at 2B and 3B, two out for Thompson as the Astros have a meeting on the mound…Semien on deck, so you want to get this guy.

PONCHE!!

At the Stretch…5-0 Astros

Attaboy FV

OK, I gotta run. Time to head home.

Framber es muy macho

Bottom 7: Rangers 0 Astros 5

Yuli takes a ball down. Gets a center cut fastball and is a mile behind it and fouls it off, 1-1. Spinning breaker belt high inside corner, strike 2. Fouls off a breaker at the knees. Bounced a ball, 2-2. Liner past a diving Seager in to left center, base knock!

1 on nobody out.

Good to see Yuli swinging the stick well today

Tucker with Yuli on first and nobody out slaps a ball at the bottom of the zone for a sinking liner to center, down for a hit! Yuli stops at second.

Is Seager’s range really as limited as it has seemed today?

Bregman with 2 on and nobody out takes a bouncing breaking ball WILD PITCH! Both runners advance on the 58 footer. 2nd and 3rd, nobody out and 1-0 to Breggers. Dying quail to center down for a hit, Yuli scores. Tucker to 3rd.

Texas LF…not smart

1st and 3rd and nobody out for Diaz who hits a fly to medium deep left. Tucker… eventually goes? What the fuck was that camera work? Sac fly I think?

On replay Tucker was just walking then took off and scored easily. The ol’ deke move.

7-0 Astros.

Correctly described by the PBP YouTube crew - nobody moved into cutoff position, Culbertson looked to throw to cutoff to keep Breggy from moving up - when Tucker saw him eat the ball, he took off.

1 out, runner on first for Mancini who takes a pitch inside for a ball. Well done, Junior! 8 inches inside isn’t a strike! 1-0 pitch right down the middle Mancini behind it and slices it foul down RF line, 1-1. Swings over a breaker low and inside, 1-2. Takes one low, 2-2. Good 2 seamer at the bottom of the zone gets him swinging, 2 outs.
