B1:

Altuve pops out F6
Marwin walks
Correa singles to RF, Cruz bobbles it in RF and Marwin moves to 3B on the E9
Wild pitch moves Correa to 2B, but not far enough for Marwin to score. Correa grabs leg...
Gattis with a sac fly to RF, Marwin scores, Correa to 3B
Gomez flies out to deep RCF

Astros grab a 1-0 lead

After two...tied at a run a piece.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #29 on:** August 31, 2015, 08:07:30 pm »

B3:

Marisnick HBP...drilled right on the left ankle. Stays in the game, but expect him to miss time.
Altuve flairs one just over second baseman's head, Marisnick sprints to 3B
Marwin grounds into fielder's choice, Marisnick out 5-2. Altuve to 2B
Correa strikes out swinging
Altuve steals 3B
Gattis grounds into FC, Marwin out 5-4

Not exactly a stellar run through the heart of the order.

Still tied 1-1 after three.

That's a reasonable point. But you can ratchet up the hilarity if you find someone who already has an entertaining accent.

And another point, I don't know which is more comical, Lowrie's Little League helmet or his oven mitt sliding gloves.

Either way it's funny to imagine him slump busting in one or the other.

One of the strangest things about this season is how random who's hitting has been. From game to game you could probably fill that in with if [tonight's home run hitter] starts hitting, this could be lot's of fun. Other than Altuve, the only consistency has been it's completely whacked randomness.
