Cole with 2 Ks and an F9 in thre first.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #1 on:** May 11, 2019, 07:22:06 pm »

First pitch F9 from Springer, first pitch grounder to 2nd for Josh. Bregman took a couple of barely strikes, worked a full count, then grounded out to short.

There's a game within a game going on between Pence and Reddick.

He swung at one pitch directly over his shoelaces and another 3 inches over his head.

Then Cole split the plate.

Tyler White got 3 fat pitches to hit. He fouled off two and lofted the last one to right for an easy out.

The offensive outburst was fun, but Cole is the hero of this game. 2-1 in the 6th, runners on 2nd and 3rd, Gallo at the plate. Cole threw 2 99 mph heaters up that Gallo missed. Then he threw a 100 mph blur lower in the zone that Gallo watched.

He flails wildly, and his K swing on Cole’s 3-2 curve was comical. He is strong as an ox, though, and during this hot streak he has been chasing less and crushing FBs he can reach. I enjoyed Bagwell’s comments about Pence last night, and I admire his hard work to get back on a MLB roster.
