Title: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 07:51:01 pm
Correa called out on a replay after he stole second but was tagged by a millimeter for a millisecond sliding past the bag before getting his hand down.  I think that is the most annoying usage of replay, right up there with the elimination of the neighborhood/vicinity call during double plays.

It's 0-0 in the bottom of the second.  The Astros have one hit and the A's have two.

Yuli is playing first base.

Could not agree more, seems like I haven't noticed it as much as last year, though.

Peacock looking good early.

Yes, I'm a little tired of the ticky-tacky call on the bases. If the human eye can't see it let it stand.

I hate that shit. I thought the MLB was planning to adjust the rule. If you beat the throw, the only way you should be ruled out is if you slide completely past the bag and the tag is maintained. The replay request to squint to see daylight is its worst usage.

What pissed me off the most was on the popup slide, when the guy was safe by a mile, but fielder puts the glove on his leg and for a split second, at the end of the pop, he comes off the bag.

Peacock is looking good.  He needs to keep it up for a couple more innings and the ASTROS NEED TO SCORE SOME FUCKING RUNS

Kemp promptly pops the second pitch foul to right which is hauled in at the railing.

Maybin chops it to third and nearly beats out the high throw.  I think he was safe but there's no review.
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 08:51:00 pm
Bregman works a walk.  No score, one on, two out.  Top 6th, Altuve up.

Correa with a gapper gloved but dropped by the center fielder.  He then bowls over the second baseman fighting his way into the bag.

Correa on second, Reddick up.  Two outs. Astros leading 2-0 in the top of the 6th.

Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 08:56:43 pm
Reddick grounds one softly into no-mans land between second and first.  The second baseman gloves it a few feet into the outfield grass and throws it home but the catcher can't bring it in and Correa scores from second. 
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 08:58:15 pm
Yuli pops out to center but the Astros finally put up a crooked number.

3-0 Astros, mid 6th.  Come on Peacock.  KEEP IT GOING!

That was either a good bad send or a bad good send by Pettis.

And insult to injury was scoring on Reddick's hit.  He had no business scoring there.  Chalk another up for Gary Pettis.

Bottom 6th, 3-0 good guys.

Powell singles sharply through the left side.  Kemp playing way over on the line cuts it off and holds him to a single.

Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 09:02:58 pm
Cue ball up the middle, Altuve backhands and throws but the ump calls the runner safe.  Being reviewed. 

He was out.

Looked out on the real time. Replay confirms.
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 09:03:50 pm
Replay confirms the out.  Great play by Altuve!

One out.  Boog on second.  Healy up.
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 09:05:32 pm
Healy bounces one to Correa and the runner was moving. Correa easily guns the lead runner out at third.

Two out, Healy on first.  A couple of nice plays in the infield.

Peacock hangs one that is utterly demolished.  Olson hit every living fuck out of that ball.

A's cut it to 3-2.  That's it for Peacock.  Musgrove coming in with two out in the bottom of the 6th.

Musgrove's first pitch is drilled to the right center gap just past Reddick.  Chapman with the double.

Maxwell up. 
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 09:13:21 pm
Maxwell takes the first pitch but Musgrove gets a high breaking ball to fall in the zone for a looking strike.  Next pitch is a 93 MPH fastball over the outside corner.  Maxwell fights off an outside fastball coming in at 95 MPH.   Next pitch is smoked to the wall in center for an RBI double.

Tie ballgame.  Fuck fuck fuck.

Top 7, tied at 3.  Beltran bounces one down the line past the third baseman that rolls all the way to the corner.  Beltran jogs into second for a leadoff double, his 563rd which is good for 26th all-time.

McCann up.
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 09:21:29 pm
The lefty, Moll, is pitching for the A's.  McCann cues one to short where nobody is.  Infield single, Beltran to third.

On the corners with no outs
Title: Re: Game 2

A's bringing in a righty, Chris Hatcher.  Kemp is due up. I don't expect Hinch to pinch hit for him.
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 09:24:19 pm
Springer is the pinch hitter.  Infield in. 
Title: Re: Game 2

Springer sends it to right center field, and the Astros take the lead on the sac fly.  Great job GEORGE.

Maybin up, one out runner still on first.  He pops up to center.  Nothing doing.

Two down.  Bregman up.
Title: Re: Game 2
Post by: Bench on September 09, 2017, 09:29:41 pm
Bregman grounds out 6-4 to end the inning.

Devenski coming in, hopefully for two innings of shutout ball.

The new outfield alignment is Reddick-Maybin-Springer. 

Joey Wendle steps in.  Devo gets on over and the next pitch is in the dirt.  Third pitch popped up HIGH in the infield, eventually caught by Altuve a few steps into the infield grass.  Altuve didn't see it until he saw it.  Yuli was waiting the whole time and then got called off.

Devo gets a change up over for a strike on the outside corner.  Misses with the next one.  Misses low and in with some more soft stuff.  Boog flies one to center that is certainly deep enough.  Tie game.  Fuck again.

Two outs, bases cleared.  Tie game.
