Rockies at Astros, 6/26/24

Three pitch K
First pitch pop up
1-2 double to LF
K number 9

Mid 6, 2-0 Astros

I know Arrighetti has a low pitch count

but if I’m managing, I go give him a handshake and a butt patt and say ā€œgreat job today, we’ll let the pen take it from hereā€

Don’t blame me, I voted for the Cupid Shuffle.

What was the third choice?

Kodos.

Hum me a few bars.

Yordan pops to 2b
Diaz first pitch broken bat F8
Jake works to 3-0, that’s the first 3 ball count on either side, takes strike 1 about four inches outside, takes ball 4
Jake caught stealing - excellent throw and tag

End 6, 2-0 Astros

Espada getting greedy after 6 shutout. I hope it works out

It worked out.

I am pleased

T7:

Arrighetti with his first first-pitch ball since the second inning, comes back for the 1-2 K swinging. First Astro with 10 K this year.
Abreu warming
Line out to Bregman
6-3 closes the inning, and probably the best start of Arrighetti’s career

Stretch time, 2-0 Astros

Excellent job by the spaghetti man

B7:

Routine pop to shallow CF, 2b nonchalant with the catch and drops it, they somehow give Singleton a hit for that
Dubon PR for Singleton
HPU an absolute mess, JP lines a single on 2-ā€œ2ā€ pitch
Feltner out

Loper ā€œfootā€ ow!

Good at bat by (University of Arizona Wildcat) Cesar Salazar to get the RBI after being down 0-2.

Lordy!

B7 cont’d:

Kinley in for Rockies
Loperfido HBP on 1-2, loads the bases
Salazar flies to medium RCF, run scores, Pena to 3b, 3-0 Astros
Altuve slow hopper to SS, throw home nowhere near in time, everyone safe, 4-0 Astros
Bregman grounder to 3b, force at 2b, throw to first gets away and Loperfido scores, 5-0 Astros
That’s it for Kinley

The throw from the 2B to try to turn two was ugly from the start.
