That was one crazy hop.

Someone text Peacock the location of the plate.

Peacock can't find the zone...back to back 4-pitch walks loads the bases with one out...
-
Third straight walk plates a run...bases still loaded, one out. Peacock is a train wreck early.
-
T1:
Maybin cues one off the end of the bat, takes a funky hop on Marwin at 1B, who knocks it down, but can't get Maybin...no matter as Peacock didn't get to the bag
Calhoun flies out F9 at the wall on the first pitch
Maybin steals 2B without a throw
Pujols...3-0...four pitch walk
Maybin steals 3B standing up
Escobar...3-0...another four pitch walk...that's eight straight balls, none even close
Valbuena walks, Maybin scores, Pujols to 3B, Escobar to 2B
Simmons grounds sharply to 3B...instead of an inning ending double play, Bregman goes home...McCann drops the ball, but recovers to get Pujols 5-2
Maldonado flies out to shallow RF
1-0 Angels
-
Glad Peacock got that out of his system early.

B1:
Reddick singles to RF
Altuve grounds into 6-4-3 double play
Correa flies out F9

Peacocks arm's gonna fall off soon.

Peacock a complete mess...3-0 Angels...only out this inning is a pickoff
Gonna be a long night for the bullpen
-
T2:
Young singles to RF
Espinosa walks
Young picked off of 2B...Angels challenging...looks close...call upheld...score it 1-4
Maybin with a rule book double over Reddick's head...Espinosa has to stop at 3B...saved a run for now
Calhoun...infield in...singles to RF, Espinosa scores, Maybin scores
Pujols grounds into 6-4-3 double play
3-0 Angels

B2:
Beltran flies out F9
McCann singles to RF
Marwin singles to LF, McCann to 2B
Bregman...with a hot dog wrapper in his pocket...works the count full...walks, McCann to 3B, Marwin to 2B
Aoki chops to 1B, Valbuena fields it, tags 1B to get Aoki, throws home, but off line...McCann is out by five steps, but tap dances around to miss the tag, over runs the plate, dives back and just beats the tag...Marwin ends up at 3B and Bregman at 2B
Marisnick singles to the hole at SS, Marwin scores, but Bregman rounds the bag at 3B and Simmons throws behind him...Bregman gets in a rundown, but it out 6-5-2
But the Astros plate two runs...Angels lead 3-2

Cmon Bregman.

Hand-wringing about 4 starters is quite unusual for a first place team with the highest win % in the MLB.

People in Star Wars costumes (Blum calls them uniforms) in the booth. I like to see grown people acting like children. Are they part of a show or just like dressing up as Star Wars characters?

Your reaction is a tab bit knee jerk. I said that (with Keuchel on the DL) we have four question marks in the rotation right now, which is unusual for a team with a good record. Thus, I'm agreeing that Peacock is shaky so far tonight. Let's hope he reverts back to his first two start form.

So you thought Pettit just stood there and watched the play in front of him without saying a word? I'm not sure why you'd think that, but yes, Pettit was doing his job and telling Bregman to stop.

The Astros are tops in the MLB on the vauntability index, so I expect some high scale ratio leveraging of the vaunteriffic variety soon. They just need to keep the Angels from scoring more than they do over the course of 9 innings.

Hoyt takes the pill...
Maybin...0-2...chops one over the mound for an infield single
Maybin steals 2B, moves to 3B as McCann bounces the throw into CF...stolen base, TE2

They usually save their vaunting for the 7-9th innings. I'm not worried.

I had high hopes for Bregman this year, but he's been fairly underwhelming.

I've been reflecting on this. With a tiny bit of grace you can morph the pervy old dude with a camera into the happily married fellow on vacation.
Hey, honey, what a great place, huh?! How 'bout you and Ynez jump over there and I'll get a shot of you both!
That's great, honey! Come here and have a look! No, Ynez, you stay right there, let me get one of you, the background is so interesting what with all the 40 years of history and whatnot.

Eh...maybe. The throw was to the outside line, so it would have taken a perfect pick and swipe tag. Even then would have been tough.
