Yankees @ Astros, Game 2, July 21, 2022

Still game to play

Oh NOW that pitch is a strike. Fuck you, ump

You beat me to it. Thought that looked an awful lot like Bielak’s ā€œball4ā€ to Carpenter.

It was several inches lower.

Tucker the speedster !

That would’ve been a close play in kickball.

Bottom 7 (Chapman pitching)

Alvarez: Strikes out looking at a pitch at the bottom of the zone in a 3-2 count
Bregman: Grounds out 6-3
Tucker: reaches on catcher’s interference
Meyers: Tucker steals second, Meyers strikes out swinging on a 1-2 pitch in the dirt, inning over

7-2 Astros

Carpenter dives into an 0-2 pitch

I’m surprised Boone’s not complaining that Bielak is throwing at his guys.

IT’S A SHIFT!

Top 8 (Bielak still pitching)

Torres: Strikes out swinging on high heat in a 3-2 count
Carpenter: HBP
Stanton: strikes out swinging on a fastball on the outside corner
Donaldson: shiftfuck single to the vacated hole at 2B
Hicks: flies out to Meyers in CF, inning over

Still 7-2 Astros

Edited to properly convey the Stanton strikeout.

Point of order…Stanton got blown away by a fastball on the outside half.

My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

Blown away by a 94 mph four seamer that caught an awful lot of the plate.

Didn’t want any Yankee fans to think Bielak didn’t challenge him.

Bielak has a great buzz cut.

Bottom 8 (Loaisiga pitching)

Matijevic: grounds out 1-3
McCormick: lines out to RF
Maldonado: grounds out 6-3, inning over

Still 7-2 Astros

Man, it’s been a long day at the ball yard.

Bielak getting tired

Anybody warming up? Martinez?
