First pitch comebacker goes off of Norris' heel. He throws the batter out but felt the pain a little afterward. He's staying in the game.

Post by: Ron Brand on September 14, 2010, 07:11:52 pm
Norris had to cover first on the grounder to Lee for the second out. He was limping a little on the way over. Q out for a few words before The Peen steps in.

Peen puts a 2-0 fastball into the fifth row of the Crawford Boxes, 1-0.

Inglett 1-3 (good scoop by Lee saved Norris); Escobar 3-1; Braun solo shot on 2-0 cookie; Fielder Ks. 1-0 Bottom 1.

Norris' motion appears unchanged. He struck out Fielder on a couple of nice sliders that dove at the plate at 90mph.

Pence has lost whatever ability he had to hit in the clutch, apparently.

Keppinger F9 to the track; Pence L5; Lee 1B to CF; CJ F8. 3-1 Astros Top 4.
Title: Re: Brew Crew @ Astros 9/14/10
Post by: OregonStrosFan on September 14, 2010, 08:06:25 pm
ValleyCats up 5-1 through 8. ValleyCats pitchers have retired 15 of the last 16 batters. Quevedo went 7 innings (82 pitches). Converted SS DeLeon puts 'em down in order in the B8 and appears likely to throw B9 as well for the 'Cats.
Title: Re: Brew Crew @ Astros 9/14/10
Post by: Mr. Happy on September 14, 2010, 08:09:46 pm
Escobar F8 on 3-2 pitch; Braun 1B to CF; Fielder P4; McGehee K. Pissant was the answer to the AT&T trivia question. 3-1 Astros Bottom 4.
Title: Re: Brew Crew @ Astros 9/14/10
Post by: OregonStrosFan on September 14, 2010, 08:17:29 pm
ValleyCats decide to pull DeLeon in favor of their other closer Ness. Cyclones have runners at the corners with 1 out.

Post by: Mr. Happy on September 14, 2010, 08:20:41 pm
Michaels BB on 3-2 pitch to 3B; Sanchez P3; Quintero is looking like horseshit at the plate E4; Norris Ks; Bourn is seeing a healthy dose of yackers, L3. 3-1 Astros Top 5.
