Pence walks on a full count.

Biggio goes after an eye-high FB to take the count to 2-2. Fouls a ball back. Biggio watches a nice backdoor curve for strike 3. 1 down.

austro · « **Reply #6 on:** September 02, 2007, 01:33:26 pm »

Lee: Goes to 1-2 (missed the pitches). Watches a barely outside curve for 2-2. Watches another curve that evidently breaks inside for 3-2. Pops up the 3-2 pitch to Lee at 1B.

austro · « **Reply #12 on:** September 02, 2007, 01:43:33 pm »

Theriot: S. Goes the other way, but Big Puma makes a great diving stop toward the line and comes up with the ball and forces Theriot at 1st. Soriano goes to 3rd. 1 down.

Hill is not pitching a very good game today. general lack of command of all his pitches. rarely hitting the glove - hopefully the Stros can take advantage of that today...

De Rosa goes 2-1. Fouls one on the ground to go 2-2. Lifts one to right, Josh Anderson hauls it in. (Must've missed that.)

Anderson PH for Woody and stayed in.

Munson takes ball one outside, Superman swipes second. Ball, and then a called strike, 2-1. Checks up, appeal granted - 2-2. Fouls one away. Kendall looked crossed up on ball 3. Fouls one back, still full. Lines one directly over Jones, but he rushes back and hauls it in. 2 down.

M-Lo takes ball one. Lifts one to shallow left center. Soriano gets a late break (but was there) and Jones comes on a dead sprint from center for a diving catch to end the top half of the 8th.

5-4

MikeyBoy · « **Reply #112 on:** September 02, 2007, 04:11:30 pm »

Jones pulls a co-ed softball move and cuts in front of Soriano to make the catch.

two walks.

the ball to Bruntlett was not an easy play--high hop off the mound, then the second hop scooted. easy play if it does not hit the mound.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #147 on:** September 02, 2007, 04:49:03 pm »

Yes, two walks. Forgive me, for I was distracted by the smell of the brisket.
