Probably some lineups somewhere

Is anyone seeing velocity on their feeds? All I see is the pitch count. From what I gathered it was the velocity that got people excited this spring. I'd like to know where he is.

T1:
Segura...quickly 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2...singles to RF
Haniger grounds to SS, Segura out 6-4, but too quick to turn two
Haniger swipes 2B
Cano...down 0-2...strikes out swinging
Cruz grounds out 4-3
No score.

B1:
Springer...0-2...grounds out 6-3
Bregman walks
Bregman moves to 2B on a wild pitch, blocked but good jump
Altuve flies out F9 to deep RCF, Bregman moves to 3B
Correa...down 0-2...grounds out 3U
No score after one

As MM said, it's MLB at bat but you need to add the radio package for 19.99. For that cost, all MLB games can be streamed on radio and you can choose your preferred feed. There are no blackout/market restrictions for the radio.

Doesn't in-n-out have pretty different ingredients/produce for the cali and TX locations? I seem to remember that expansion was an issue because they typically only sourced beef and produce from certain butchers/farmers, and logistics made it difficult to deliver those fresh to new markets. That might also explain some of the difference.

Because you want that runner at 3B with less than two outs.
But you're giving them one out already, and then you're depending on Springer to hit a deep enough fly ball. After that you've lost all the advantage of the bunt, because with 2 outs you still need a single to drive in the run.
I just think, unless your first hitter really sucks at hitting (Aoki doesn't), you're better off giving your guys 3 shots at hitting a single. Especially since, as we saw, a successful bunt is not a given.

Gustave is not helping things here.

No you don't. From 3B you can score on a fly ball, a ground ball, a wild pitch, a balk...lots of ways.

Aoki is four times more likely to make an out than to get a hit. Productive outs are important.

So, last night I stopped at my favorite watering hole (Pinthouse Pizza) on the way home from a late-ish dinner to catch the end of the 8th and 9th. When I got there, the crowd was sparse and my favorite bartenders were both working (one of which is a big Astros fan), so it was pretty choice. I bellied up to the bar and ordered a beer, sitting next to one of ladies that works in the kitchen and was already off and sticking around to watch the end of the game too (she is also a big Astros fan).
4 innings later and well after closing time (and a few cold ones later), I'm high-fiving the other die-hards that stuck around until the walk off.
AWESOME night.
