Rays @ Astros, September 28, 2021

Bregman…looks at strike one…looks at strike two…foul…ball…ball…strikes out swinging

Gurriel flies out

To the 9th…new ballgame.

Maton still in

Meadows lines out to 1B

Arozarena crushes a home run to RF on the first pitch

Well, the tie was nice while it lasted.

Well, shit

That was…unfortunate.

I’m totally fucking tired of Maton. He has great stuff, he’ll be great for a batter or 2, but he is completely unreliable. He’s nothing more than a 5th inning pitcher.

Choi with a double on soft liner to LF that Diaz punches into RF on the dive

The pitch Arozarena hit out was not bad. He put the perfect swing on it.

That said, other than Baker being crazy, I have no idea why Maton is pitching in the ninth if Stanek is available.

If we can have a postseason roster, and Maton is on it, I may burst into flames of anger.

Zunino down on strikes

Maton has great stuff. He needs to be on top of his breaking pitchers. They are flat. I would not give up on him.

That was good hitting by ricearoni

I’d also like Todd Kalas to stop saying things like it’s been a rough night for Arozarena right before he hit the home run.

Agreed.

Kiermaier taps out in front of the plate

But the damage done. To the bottom of the 9th, Astros chasing a run.

Runs?

Maton grooves and hangs so much shit, it’s unbelievable. For a guy with his nasty stuff, he gives it up left and right.

I like they way you’re thinking here.
