    Well his arm may fall off but Boone is going to get every last drop and we just can’t seem to knock him out

    Astros missing the fastball. Something they are usually really good at.

    Springer being late on fastballs all playoffs has led to some deadbeat ABs from him. He has just looked off-balance.

    Bailing them out man. So frustrating... now up to the bats to get big hits against their bullpen.

    Well, that’s probably it for their starter...it’d be great if he pitched the next inning but with almost 90 pitches i bet they’re going with their bullpen

    Outcome wasn’t great, nor was the final swing, but that was a decent at bat by Springer. Can’t say that about too many of his lately.

    As has MOST ALL of the OF, give some credit to the top line pitching we’ve seen.

    Stros are one of the worst hitting teams against high-velocity fastballs.

    Assuming the stats aren't deceiving me.

    He gets these 2 outs then struggles to finish the inning.

    To be a good fastball hitter, you pretty much have to sell out for the FB to hit it at high velocity....unless you've got god like reflexes like Altuve.
