Basehit and we are on the board
Wheeler starting off Altuve with an eyebrow-high FB trying to get him hacking. Laid off it both times.
Altuve, that was your pitch.
Gee, I wonder what’s coming next
Just finished my cheesesteak let’s gooooooo

Grrr. That should have been the inning.
Need a zero!
Let’s go Framber
Started to beat him up a little bit that inning…
Astros just went up determined to hack at whatever the saw that inning
That was disappointing as fuck all.
Well, I was wrong, but the result was the same.
Altuve should have swung at the 2-1 pitch.
Need a zero Framber

Bottom 3.
Wheeler pitching (averaging 11 pitches per inning).
Mancini - fouls off inside FB (98mph), fouls off changeup, curve low and outside, FB high and away, fouls off inside FB (and breaks bat), opposite field single on a 99mph FB!! single.
McCormick - curve low and away, fouls off inside FB and breaks bat also (97mph), swings and misses over inside sinker, FB high, curve outside and low, breaks bat with grounder up the middle, 1-4 FC. Mancini out at second. McCormick safe at first.
Maldonado - sinker strike, sinker inside, soft bouncer down third base line. 5-3. McCormick to 2nd.
Altuve - FB high and away, FB high, FB strike outer half, FB strike low outside corner, fouls off high FB, swings and misses at low inside 98mph sinker.
(Wheeler at 43 pitches, 21 in the third.)
End 3. Phillies 0. Astros 0.
I don’t know why the gameplan is to take fastballs when Wheeler is filling to zone with them, but it’s not fucking working.
Fucking pitiful aside from Mancini so far.
Tip your hat. He’s fucking dealing.
Put some pitches on Wheeler though. But from now on, let’s not hack at pitches headed straight for our nuts, ok?

Vazquez swung at two way out of the zone. MCCormick swung at three. Altuve swung at two.
I really don’t have the patience for this, witnessing two gifts calls so far with LSU Alabama
Ponche!
