I sure hope Hensley or even Diaz ph for Mancini next time through
Oh hell yes. You cannot let Mancini hit again this game.
Holy shit, Realmutoās brain just got scrambled
So, with all due respect to the estimable Mark R., could the Astros please unfuck their hitting??
Asking for a friend.
You spelled āseriesā wrong.
Chas has had two good pitches. If he didnāt have that huge uppercutā¦
Realmuto is damn lucky that hit him low.
Vazquez now?
Need Maldonado to be The Machete here. Next guy is an automatic out.
Come on Machete!
Nvmnd forgot no 3rd catcher
#9 up, #10 on deck.
Damn.
This pitcher doesnāt have it, we need to get the upper hand now
That coulda been two runs.
Ugh
Soooo sloooow.
Bottom of the 6th.
Alvarado pitching.
Tucker - pops a 100mph FB to short left for F7.
pitching change - Eflin in to pitch.
Gurriel - cutter outside, sinker strike, swinging bunt down third base line picked up by Eflin, but throw is late. Single.
Mancini - sinker low, sinker low/outside, FB down the middle for strike, pops to right for F9. Gurriel holds at first.
McCormick - ball outside, FB low, fouls off FB, curveball low and outside, fouls off cutter - takes Realmutoās mask off, curveball misses inside. Walks. Gurriel to second.
Maldonado - FB low, FB low and outside, grounds down third base line for 5-3.
End 6. Phils 5. Astros 5.
That was a big league play by Bohm.
Eflin looks like a jihadi terrorist about to walk into a synagogue.
