Not getting breaking ball even close most of the time.
Oh yea, that’s what you do when the #7 hitter gets a two out double.

Look at the wheels on Luis
Garcia makes contact, at least.
Let’s go Jose, it starts with a hit. (I know he isn’t reading this… I don’t think he is anyway)

Jose, find a pitch to drive and do damage.

Would help if you swing at strikes.
Well that was an uneventful inning.
That’s twice he’s swung at balls in his eyes
Damnit, Jose. That was ball five.
That weren’t good.
Altuve strikes out on ball five.
Anderson can’t hit the side of a fucking barn, and the Astros are hacking at everything he throws up there.

Nice on-air interview with McCullers - could have a future in the booth.

Second time thru for Garcia.
Throw strikes.
When the Astros are cold, they can’t hit anybody no matter who is pitching.
When the Astros are hot, they can hit anybody no matter who is pitching.
It seems it has been that way all season.
No leadoff walks, please.
