Altuve strikes out swinging

No score

Nice catch by Jake.

Keuchel not looking good so far.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #4 on:** May 30, 2018, 05:59:06 pm »

B1:

Hicks...3-2...walks
Judge singles to LF, Hicks to 3B
Stanton flies out F8 on a diving catch by Marisnick (that’s why he’s on this team, boys and girls). Hicks scores on the sac fly
Sanchez walks, Judge to 2B
Austin...0-2...wild pitch, Judge to 3B, Sanchez to 2B and the infield comes in...2-2 now...strikes out swinging
Torres lines out to 1B

Keuchel really labored, but only gives up the one run

1-0 Yankees

I’m no Marisnick apologist, but Keuchel doesn’t get out of the first inning with only a single run scoring without Marisnick patrolling center field tonight. Plus, 6 other Astros have struck out against Severino, and many of those were way uglier than Jakes at bat.

Observation:

Stassi is good at framing pitches because he funnels the ball to his chest and is fluid. He doesn’t try to “stick” the pitch like a lot of guys and as a result his movements appear natural. He lets the gall come to him and catches the ball close to his body when he can. Brad Ausmus was that way. Stassi’s recieving reminds me of Ausmus.

You can bitch about the shift all you want, and I do not like it sometimes either. The fact is, however, MLB teams play extreme shifts now, and the Astros are committed to it. If they are going to play the shift, that means Keuchel too, whether he likes it or not. He MUST pitch to the shift, not away from it, especially in crucial situations. Pitching Sanchez soft with two strikes low and away was a terrible pitch and invited him to roll the ball through the open right side. Keuchel did NOT do his job.
