Twinkies @ Astros 8-23-22

Walk loads the bases and outs the tying run in scoring position

Urshela 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 3-1 FB, walks.

That was very close.

But based are loaded for Jake Cave

Bases loaded

Ponche!

That’s a winner

K, as planned!!

Jesus

Talk about doing it the hard way.

Cave down 0-2, Ks swinging

Astros win 4-2

DubĂłn got them on the board.
Bregman had a big blast.

But the story was the mastery of JV. That and the question of why he was pulled after 6.

Never in doubt?

Well I’m going to need some Rolaids after that.

I can’t believe I had to stay up for that slapdickery.

After 91 pitches? I hope it’s not the D word…

What the hell?! I take a phone call going to the 9 th? See 4-2 2 out Abreu walking the bases loaded. Got the K but can’t believe how close that ended up being!

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Preacher, meet choir.

Neris is the man

Let’s just hope Baker was just trying to not overuse JV. He looked as sharp as ever and showed no signs of being hurt that I could see.

So was JV in the dugout after his exit? Didn’t disappear down the tunnel with a trainer?

No he stuck around for the bottom half of the inning.

Diaz with a solo shot.
