[Official] Astros @ Rays

Looked like it.

 

Shift just cost Javier an out on that popup. Damn nice try by Maldy.

 

Javier got out of that jam. Nice job.

 

Rays now 3 for their last 57 with RISP.

That's tough to do.

 

Altuve down to .268. Bad slump.

 

Since getting 3 hits in his first game back from Covid, he's 2-22

 

Javier's velocity isn't up to what has been most of this year. Back to getting pop ups and harmless flies instead of Ks.

 

Looked like he went around to me.

 

Maldy with a "close" throw. eh hum

 

Straw's throw is a little off line.

 

Correa holding the tag near the base as if he had the ball was nice. Might have caused enough doubt to prevent the runner from advancing and saved a run on the next fly ... God knows Straw wasn’t going to gun him down.

 

Maybe Straw should try Tucker's trick. Throw it to Correa.

 

OFF THE BAG! MARK IT ZERO!

 

Yordan...Yordan...Yordan...Yordan! YoRdAn! YoRdAn!

 

Jobu is pleased.

 

Yordan with a blast.

 

I always love the courtesy jog by the OFs back like there was a chance it would come off the wall to make the pitcher feel better.

 

I was pretty shocked they didn't send Lowe home on that shallow fly to CF earlier

 

I love it when they never move and never even look over their shoulder

eta: that was the longest homerless streak of Yordan's career

 

What impeccable timing I have. I was in the middle of writing a post about it being 13 innings since we last scored and BOOM!
