Well, that was a huge let down after Margo nearly hit the granny. Ahhhhhh! I gotta believe Clev won't see the Astros lineup for a third time.
Bregman probably would have gotten the run home if he didn’t get plunked. Then you have the barely missed grand slam. Baseball can be cruel sometimes.
Wow Yuli not seeing jack crap out there. Based on his first plate appearance, I'd argue pinch hitting for him. We had a chance to essentially put a nail in the coffin and I didn't have a single ounce of confidence in his ability to even put the bat on the f'ing ball.
I'll have to watch the replay again but it definitely seemed WELL into the hole when I saw it live. Regardless it would have taken a remarkable play to even get him at 3B had he came up with it.
Astros cannot come through with the bases loaded. They were 41-for-133 (.308 AVG) with the bases loaded in the regular season -- 3rd best in MLB. The top team? Cleveland Indians - .350 AVG
He's not going to get much to hit from now on if Yuli keeps coming up empty. It would be stupid for them to continue to pitch to Bregman with a struggling hitter behind him especially in big spots.
LOL. Yuli batted something like 0.350 with a 0.950 OPS in September, and had a double and walk in the first game of the series. Are we really now deciding "strugglign hitter" based on not looking good for 12 innings?
