Since no one has started, I could not wait...

Top 1st - 8 pitches and an overturned call
Choo safe bunt overturned - 1 pitch
Straw ranges into LF to catch out 2
Line out to Brantley - out 3

0 - Astros coming up

Bot 1st - no score (yet)
Altuve GO - #1
Bregman 6-pitch walk, swinging at only one pitch. He usually swings at only 1/3 of the pitches.
Brantley HR #14 scoring Bregman from 1st
Juli K's swinging on 3-2 pitch
Same with Reddick - total of 23 pitches in 1st inning by Lynn

Bot 1st 0 - 2 Stros

Top of 2nd - Astros 2-0
Mazaro walks
Gallo K's swinging - out #1 (change up)
Reddick steals a HR from Odor at the wall - out #2

The Rangers saw 53 change ups yesterday (41.7% of the pitches) - the 2nd most change ups in their 13-year history. "Looks like we're going to see more today...."

Forsyth GO to Bregman - out #3
Armenteros 35 pitches thru 2; Lynn 25 thru 1

Bot of 2nd - Astros 2-0

Tks, Jim. Need all the help I can get.
Btw, what did Alvarez do? (fill in the blank.)

Bot 2nd - Astros 2-0

(Btw - kudos to Jim - Alvarez was stranded at 1st after a single during the 1st.)

Marisnick (3-1) and Stassi (3-2) both SO swinging - outs #1 & #2
Straw - a 6-pitch called K

Same score

Does it count if it includes K's by Marisnick, Stassi, and Straw?

I wonder if the Rangers unload Choo. That guy is really good. Seems like some contender could use him. Maybe eat his salary and get some prospects back.

Mainly, I’m sick of seeing our pitchers throw to him.

austro · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2019, 02:07:02 pm »

I'm not sure how Choo managed to hit that ball into the outfield.

They will probably try. Just basically depends on how much money they want to eat.

I think Rivera is certainly deserving of induction, but it seems a bit ironic that the first unanimous inductee is a reliever.

I think so, too, but you could make a non-insane case against it. Against his induction, I mean.

Not at all surprising that the first unanimous inductee is a Yankee.

austro · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2019, 02:40:18 pm »

It's interesting that a good FB-hitting team like the Astros has such consistent difficulty with Lynn.

doyce7 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2019, 02:46:17 pm »

Who would have thought the Astros would get 12 innings of 4 hit 2 run baseball from Urquidy and Armenteros this weekend. Really nice job from the rooks

Imagine how good this lunatic is going to be once he figures out how to have consistently good at bats and quits the Altuve style chasing he’s prone to.

I don’t know how to predict what his ceiling is.

Snuffy · « **Reply #26 on:** July 21, 2019, 03:04:16 pm »

Top 5th still 2-1 Astros,
3rd time through the lineup.

"You will not hear that in the replay" - Dave Raymond, Tx Announcer. A few games back he screwed up a late and mild called K. He spent several minutes wondering how the pitch could be called a K. That wondering did not appear on the replay. Now I know why.

Stassi and Straw LO to RF - #1 & #2 -
Are the Astros catching up to the FB?
Altuve 1st pitch HR (#14) to CF -
Yes - 3rd HR by Altuve this season on 1st pitch of an AB
Bregman - GO 1B to Odor
Brantley - 3-1 BB, Bregman to 2B
Alvarez - B to RF, Brekman scores, Brantley to 3B
Yuli - FO to 2B - #3

Bot 5th 4-1 Astros

Rats, the Twins went single-single-single-walk to start the 5th inning against the A's and only got one run out of it. Twins lead 5-2 after 5.

Nice series sweep.

And the Twins had a 2 run rally in the 9th to walk it off.
