Popup. Who’d a thunk.

Rats.

Bottom of the 1st.

Nola pitching.

Altuve - FB/sinker strike (low outside corner), fouls off low outside cutter, looks at cutter further outside and low, fouls off inside FB, swings and misses at ball in the other batter’s box.

Pena - FB/sinker strike in low outside corner, ditto, bounces outside breaking ball, another low/outside breaking ball, called third strike on FB in low/outside corner.

Alvarez - breaking ball low, FB high and outside, fouls off high outside FB, FB high and inside, low/inside changeup. Walks.

Bregman - FB low and outside, fouls a FB right down the middle, pops up cutter F5.

End 1. Phils 0. Astros 0.

Well, guess it’s rum and cigar time

My first Manhattan of the evening, not to be the last, is helping immensely.

Had half my pizza and working on a fresh 15-pack of Founder’s IPA.

Harper swinging for the fences, missed three times.

Pregame Cuba Libre and a 12 pack of Coors tallboys has worked for the Stros so far so I’m changing nothing.

I bought two bottles of commemorative Astros wine in 2017. Mrs Hawk hates the bottles taking up space. I told her if the Astros win the pennant, we’d open one before Game 1. If they win the World Series, we’ll open the other. Popped one tonight. It’s terrible.

Or he could make it even worse by adding Coca-Cola to it like the Spaniards do.

We all must sacrifices for the revolution.

We really need the guys to score some runs.

I hope he isn’t pressing as much in his mind and I am for him every time he comes up to bat. I want to win, not matter who comes thru, but I agree, I’d love for it to be Mancini. Class dude. Let’s go right here Trey!!
