I know who Tom Verducci is I just didn’t know he was in the booth, also didn’t know he did much tv work outside of the 3rd man stuff Rosenthal is doing tonight.

Called strike (fastball painted low and away), ball, ball (fastball away), swinging strike, ball (slider not close), grounds out to 2B. 2 outs.

DVauthrin · July 11, 2021, 1:10am

Brantley grounds out 3-1 on the first pitch.

NeilT · July 11, 2021, 1:11am

Oh man, the game may not be going great, but Fox just announced a re-boot of Fantasy Island! I’ll never forget where I was when I heard that!

AstrosFanInBigD · July 11, 2021, 1:11am

Anemic AB after anemic AB.

DVauthrin · July 11, 2021, 1:11am

I haven’t seen him on the Fox’ national broadcasts much before tonight, but they would be wise to keep him in the role if he’s willing to do it.

TomServo · July 11, 2021, 1:12am

I wonder if they even approached Peter Dinklage as Tattoo.

NeilT · July 11, 2021, 1:12am

Has there been any announcement about Cole?

ETA: Fuck.

DVauthrin · July 11, 2021, 1:12am

Yep. The All Star Break can’t come fast enough it appears.

NeilT · July 11, 2021, 1:13am

If they did, I wish I could have been there.

TomServo · July 11, 2021, 1:14am

Greinke? I haven’t heard anything.

DVauthrin · July 11, 2021, 1:14am

Top 7

Gardner:

Called strike (fastball up), ball, called strike, called strike three on a low fastball. 1 out.

NeilT · July 11, 2021, 1:14am

I guess I was too excited about Fantasy Island.

TomServo · July 11, 2021, 1:15am

There was speculation between McTaggart and Rome on Twitter about the Astros possibly planning this to shave some innings off Greinke’s workload and to get some innings for Javier. But that’s just speculation.

DVauthrin · July 11, 2021, 1:16am

Higashioka:

Called strike, ball ( low sweeping slider), ball (low and away fastball), grounds to Toro, who throws him out. 2 outs.

AstrosFanInBigD · July 11, 2021, 1:17am

That’s exactly what it looked like.

They showed Grienke with Dusty/Strom smiles etc after his last inning.

AstrosFanInBigD · July 11, 2021, 1:18am

How about a borderline call for Houston, blue?

DVauthrin · July 11, 2021, 1:20am

Locastro:

Ball, fastball fouled away, Ball (looked like it caught the top of the zone, and umps said he checked his swing), swinging strike (high fastball), check swing foul ball, fouls off a low fastball, strikes him out on a high fastball. Inning over.

DVauthrin · July 11, 2021, 1:21am

Alright Yuli, Yordan and Kyle, let’s rattle the bats and get some runs this inning.
