Abreu!!

So since Abreu has been single handedly losing games for us, if he homers and we somehow win, does that mean he single handedly won the game for us?

Wait a minute…I thought he sucked?!

Two innings, 3 runs. An embarrassment of riches.

A drive to the RCF gap. That’s a pretty good poke for a RH hitter. You have to really stay on the ball. Good to see.

B2:

Jake swings at one in the dirt for the K
Dubon taps 1-3
Abreu homers to RF! BUM AND LOSER! (Oh, and people are cheering loudly for him)
Caratini has an out I missed

End 2, 3-0 Astros

T3:

Tucker with a running, jumping catch at the wall for out 1
Santana with a smooth 5-3 groundout
Liner to LF ends the inning

Mid 3, 3-0 Astros

Tucker!

B3:

Altuve lines out to CF on first pitch
Tucker homers to RF! 4-0 Astros! Ryan put that one on a tee.
Alvarez walks on 4 pitches.
Bregman thinks he has the walk on 3-1, unbuckles the shin guard, called a strike. Lines a 3-2 pitch just foul, Yordan thinks it’s fair, circles the bases. Bregman then keeps one fair for a double to LF, Yordan stops at third, clearly gassed.
Pena with a horrible strikeout, just can’t do that.
First pitch to Jake almost scrapes dirt, called a strike. Next pitch is a routine 6-3, two RISP stranded.

End 3, 4-0 Astros.

Pitcher’s best friend.

T4:

4 pitch walk to Margot
Correa with a line out to Tucker
Jeffers with the perfect 1-6-3 to clean it up

Mid 4, 4-0 Astros

My sample size is low, but the hpu does not seem to have a clue.

B4:

Dubon first pitch routine F8
Abreu K looking. He is worse than Satan.
Caratini routine F9. They really let Ryan off the hook that inning.

End 4, 4-0 Astros.

T5:

Missed the first out due to nature’s call. Two strikeouts followed.

Mid 5, 4-0 Astros
