Yeah, he should have been swinging. Liked his chances for a hit better than Dubon.
Damn.
Nice play.

DubĂłnâŠbases drunkâŠ0-2âŠfoulâŠlines out to RF n a diving catch by Vierling to save three runs
But the Astros bat around and itâs a new ballgame 4-4
Damn. Good swing by Dubon, but a nice play by Vierling.
Very much a âthe other guys get paid, tooâ play to watch.
Hope Hinch doesnât challenge that out at 1stâŠumps probably overturn.
T6:
Blanco takes the pill
Vierling, who made the great play to end the last inning, strikes out swinging
McKinstry grounds out 3U
Haase strikes out swinging
Nice inning by Blanco. 4-4
Blanco has some good stuff. Impressed by him in his first couple of outings.
Vierling is a very good outfielder.
Back to work, bats
A hit for Alex!
A hit for Bregman!
B6:
Englert, which autocorrects to âNeglectâ, on the mound
Maldonado pops out to SS
Peña grounds out sharply 5-3
Bregman singles to RCF, his first hit of the season
Alvarez taps back to the mound
4-4
Yordan asking for time, ignored repeatedly by HP ump
Thatâs working the new rules to your favor
He already asked for time once this at bat. He doesnât get a second one.
Oh ok I missed that
A swing of beauty.
Well, fuck, that was unexpected.
Welp.
