Tigers @ Space City, April 3, 2023

Astros’ offense: Let’s score some runs!

B4:

Tucker flies out F8
McCormick flies out F8
Hensley takes strike one down the middle, takes strike two down the middle, takes strike three down the middle. That was pitiful

2-0 Tigers

I’m getting sick of the Astros being at 1 or 2 hits through four or five innings.

Rookie needs to learn how to close out an inning.

2 out trouble again.

Freaking tennis swing gets another one home.

Hunter has been squeezed a few times.

Good approach that time by Baez. Brown has to start working righties inside.

He won’t get to close out this one.

T5:

McKinstry strikes out swinging
Haase strikes out swinging
Maton…3-0…3-1…3-2…walks
Greene…3-0…walks, Maton to 2B
Báez punches a single to RF, Maton scores, Greene to 3B, Báez to 2B on the throw
Carpenter…full count…checks his swing…walks to load the bases

And that’s all for Brown

And 3BU finishes the squeeze job.

So through five games, the Astros have 23.2 innings from their starters. That’s unacceptable.

And Maton walks in a run.

T5:

Maton in with two out, bases loaded…

Torkelson walks, the fourth of the last five hitters…Greene scores, Báez to 3B, Carpenter to 2B
Meadows pops out F4

With two out, the Tigers plate two more on one hit. Lead 4-0

Take your walk, Dubon.

Also unacceptable.

I find tonight’s Astros’ pitching and offense to be unacceptable, so far.

Excuse me hit.

Love the smile from Maldy.

Maldonado asks for a review, and Baker listens.

Looks to be off the bag to this unbiased observer

B5:

Dubón walks
Maldonado with an excuse me swing punches one to RF, Dubón to 3B
Peña grounds into 5-4 FC, Dubón scores…Astros challenging play at 2B…McKinstry off the bag at 2B….call upheld, even though he was a foot off the bag…wow

And that’ll do it for Boyd
