Seamen at Astros, August 4, 2019
« on: August 04, 2019, 02:28:12 pm »
4th

Seattle gets an infield single off the bag at 3rd foot the game's first hit.   Nothing comes off it.


Bregman leads off with a single off the scoreboard for the Astros first hit.

2B/3B

Then does not advance on the single by Correa and is thrown out 7-5 on the would-be single by Gurriel. Tough inning on tbe bases for Yordan.

Alvarez doubled, then did not advance on the infield chopper single by Correa. Had a terrible read on the flair to LCF then stumbled a little, turning Yuli's single into a 7-5 FC ground out.

Soft looping ball that fell in.

Yordan was apparently frozen because they forced him easily at 3rd after fielding the ball.

Infield chopper fielded by the 3rd baseman no less.

Quick recap:

M's opener walked Alvarez and Correa to start the 2nd.

Malone,  changeup specialist, enters and proceeds to strike out the side. 

The 4th inning saw the first hits for either team. 

Astros scored on what amounted to a swinging bunt by Correa but 1 run was all they got from their 3 hits.   They even managed to run themselves out of a base hit.

Nothing in the 5th but a weak tapper and 2 Ks.

Still 1-0.

This is simply not realistic. You are bound and determined to get on Yordan, which amazes me.

That was the reality. What part of it do you think I made up?

Sorry, I have not seen good base running from Alvarez. If you think that means I have something against him, I can't help it. I don't.

Sparks was impressed with his K of Yuli after falling behind 3-0.

Also telling that Correa went from a blast that was pulled foul to that little grounder that traveled 12 feet on consecutive swings.

Bregman has hit two balls square. That's a good sign because Milone's soft stuff is hard to stay back on and not pop up.

2-0 going to the 7th.

Eventually Seattle will trot someone out there who throws fastballs. Millone has been effective.

Amazing, after seeing Alvarez going down and rolling over 2x in extreme pain, then see him stay in and slam to ball almost to the wall in CF.

Seattle announcer:  "Here's the pitch, (pause) clubbed!!!!.... (pause) caught in CF for SF."

Clutch sac flies from Alvarez (same PA as his injury) and Josh.

Nice to see some situational hitting in a close game.

Also,  this Verlander character is pretty good at pitching.

Nothing worthwhile comes without pain, ask any Astros fan.

Countdown to Greinke. He and Cole are close friends. Can’t hurt for 2020.

Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

How is it that the trainer does not speak Spanish? If you work with major league baseball players on a daily basis especially where their health is involved you must speak Spanish. It is amazing that he hasn't been ordered to learn Spanish much less learned on his own initiative.

I was shocked he doesn't speak Spanish.

To be fair,  the trainer could very well speak some Spanish.   Correa was on deck and ran over there.   His services as translator were likely impromptu.

Exactly. These guys speak English, but some are not comfortable speaking to the media without an interpreter. That gives the impression they do not speak or understand English, which is wrong.

Jim, you know people these days want impressions and sound bites, not facts.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.
