Yankees @ Astros, Game 2, July 21, 2022

I got no objection to electronic strike zones.

OK, Jeremy Peña.

University of Maine Black Bears
Third round pick
Son of a big leaguer

Jake seems to lose track of the outs.

Top 6 (Bielak pitching)

Carpenter: walks on a 3-2 count, ball caught the bottom of the zone
Stanton: 1-2 count, strikes out swinging on a sweeping slider
Donaldson: grounds out 5-3, Carpenter to 2B
Hicks: flies out to the track in RCF, inning over

5-2 Astros

J.J. hit on shoulders. Payback for the walk off?

Slider that got away. Nobody gets drilled for hitting a squibber

Chas!

The Yankees should probably stop hitting Astros batters.

The Fizz delivers the biz.

I kept watching Chas try to go opposite field and thought, Boy, he’s liable to get a holt a one here before too long.

Jose be hackin

I’ve seen guys get to first after a walk faster than Altuve got there.

Bottom 6 (Sears still pitching)

Matjevic: HBP
McCormick: Two-run homer to RF! 7-2 Astros!
Maldonado: Flies out to RF
Altuve: grounds out 5-3
Pena: flies out to center, inning over

7-2 Astros

Chas had 21 hits in 60 at bats vs LHP before the HR. He’s crushing them this year. He’s just abysmal against RHP.

Yes. He should start against LHP always.

Locastro stuck his elbow out into that one

And Bielak getting his nuts squeezed.

Top 7 (Bielak still pitching)

Kiner-Falefa: grounds out 5-3
Locastro: HBP
Higashioka: pops out to Bregman in a 3-1 count
Judge: strikes out swinging, inning over

Astros 7-2

I guess being 6’8” really lowers the strike zone.

Judgey Wudgey Oh for three,
Judgey Wudgey it cannot be!
Judgey Wudgey wasn’t very

good today at all.
