First pitch is a pop out to Correa
Langford walks on 3-2
Langford gets a changeup to run on, a perfect throw might have had him but it short-hops Pena
Pederson grounds 4-3 on the 3-2 pitch, Langford to third
Rowdy Roddy Tellez strikes out on three pitches and there’s no damage done.
Gotta capitalize on deG sucking. It won’t likely last.

We’ve got the wrong guys up for that.

I think he’s already done sucking unfortunately. But they’ll at least have made him work hard this inning if nothing else.

Sad that the 3 and 4 batters in this lineup strike out and have unproductive at bats as consistently as they do. Maddening.

Attaboy, Yainer!
Very happy to be wrong! Now try and get to their bullpen early!
deGrom on the bump, we have our work cut out for us
Pena gives a ride to one to dead center, Langford can’t glove it, it will be ruled a double but Langford would tell you he should have had it (Blum says it was a 75% catch probability)
Correa starts 0-2, some confusion about who called time in the middle of the next pitch, works it to 3-2, fouling off fastballs, grounded into the deep SS hole for an infield hit but Pena holds
Altuve up there hacking, strikes out on a 1-2 fastball
Walker (1-15 career off deGrom) strikes out on a 3-2 in the dirt. I guess he’s 1-16 now.
Maddux out, I guess to give deGrom some rest - 24 pitches already
Carratini starts 3-1, fouls one off, takes one on the edge to load the bases
Diaz fouls a couple off, saying something to HPU, LINE DRIVE SINGLE TO LEFT SCORES 2!
Sanchez naturally swings on the first pitch and skies one to right.
But they score 2 AND put 35 pitches on deGrom.
End 1, 2-0 Astros
wtf Sanchez?! Dude is on the ropes and you bail him out on pitch #1

Let’s hope Javier doesn’t realize he has a lead.
deGrom is lefty when he throws his glove.
The bottom of the zone is not open.
What does the bullpen look like when Javier crashes out after 4?

Too many 2 strike hits.
T2:
B1 was 17 minutes. Hope CJ is’t cold.
Javier punches out Adolis. Unfortunately, not literally.
Osuna (no, not that one) lines a 2-1 slider just past a diving Correa
Osuna running 1-1, Yainer puts it right on the bag but he’s barely in
TK reports that 35 pitches was the third-highest inning in deGrom’s career
Jung hammers one to LCF that barely stays in the park, run scoring double. Fastball that totally missed its spot.
Heim grounds one right between Javier’s legs, routine 6-3 and Jung moves to third
Freeman lines one right past Javier and we’re tied at 2. Fuck everything.
Freeman running, looked like a bad jump out by Diaz but he’s gunned down to end the inning! Freeman appears to be hurt on the slide.
Mid 2, we’re tied at 2
4!? You wide eyed optimist.
I knew as soon as the Astros scored it was going to at least be tied again after the next half.

B2:
Jake fouls one down the RF line foul, Adolis barely jogs towards it and it falls in harmlessly. Jake can’t check the swing next pitch and strikes out.
Cole pops up to shallow LF
Pena pops one to RF foul and Garcia fields this one.
Only faced 8 pitches that inning. Talk about letting him off the hook.
You know, I’m really hoping that Mark’s season-long impression of Randy Quaid’s character from Major League 2 follows the same character arc.
