[Official] Astro s@ Athletics

Lead off double leads to nothing. Classic Astros.

 

HBP for Tucker.

 

Guess not. BS call

 

Astros offense back in a funk. Four runs in 19 2/3 innings.

 

Once it was a ruled a foul tip it couldn't be challenged. That rule needs an amendment to allow a challenge on a possible HBP.

 

Manaea off to a good start

 

Nice play Altuve

 

Love that Valdez mid to high FBbthat tails slightly away. No good contact on that pitch

 

I've watched THE SHOT about 750 times. It keeps me from being distracted this last couple of days.

 

Manaea matching Framber. Astro bats are ice cold

 

Correa showing that $35 million dollar defense.

 

Yeah, he gets that crazy, almost screwball-movement on his sinker when he's going right. He can throw it up/down/in/out, groundball machine

 

All Glove No Bat game so far.

 

Meyers quit hitting.

 

< .100 avg in last 21 at-bats

Rookie wall?

 

Definitely rookie wall. And teams know how to pitch to him.

 

Astros have 3 hits in this series.

 

It never fails. The announcers jinx the **** out of the Astros.

"Murphy has struggled against Valdez."

*Murphy walks*

 

I think they are insanely deep thou even if that depth is mostly young guys... A big game could come from Meyers/Siri/McCormick at any given time.... Also maybe its absolutely no deal at all but these guys play year round hearing boos and absolutely getting hated on ever single inning in away games.... Maybe this will help the team in the playoffs mentally, they have been battling all year in high pressure situations...

 

Manaea last 2 starts…

10 innings…
17 hits….
9 runs….

Today…Cy Young
