Damn hanger.
Yep, and he was sitting on that pitch from the dugout.
Nice job, Lance.
Gonna be a long night.
Harper didn’t miss the pitch Realmuto got. Yuck.
Leadoff walks kill
It’s always the first inning with LMJ.
Jesus…
You know what’s coming, and McCullers hit the bat with it.
So do flat hanging curves
Suboptimal. Bats and bullpen gonna have to win this one
Better get Garcia up
All about fucking command. You can go talk to him, Machete.
I was afraid of this. I hope he gets his head out of his ass before a total meltdown.
.
Worst pitch of his career in the most import spot.
Bottom 1.
McCullers pitching.
Schwarber - slider high and outside, slider strike, curve inside, curve way outside, slider strike, slider just outside. Walk.
Hoskins - fouls off FB/sinker, fouls off another FB/sinker, slider low and outside, swings and misses a slider that drops out of low/outside corner. K.
Realmuto - low slider, fouls off sinker, FB/sinker inside (Smoltz noting that McCullers is flying open), FB/sinker strike (outside half), fouls off slider, changeup low, fouls off slider, pops up slider F2.
Harper - homers on what a pitch right down the middle (Gameday says knuckle curve, but it didn’t move all that much). Schwarber scores.
Castellanos - sinker outside, sinker outside, 5-3.
End 1. Astros 0. Phils 2.
Astros’ offense: Go to work and get those runs back.
BS. He hung a curve.
Certain guys you had to say “he’s not gonna beat me”. At the top of the list is Harper. So Lance lays one in there for him.
It’s not BS. He missed badly with quite a few off speed pitches in the first inning.
