Brantley just kills us.

7 run inning...

I've always felt like Tony loves to make sure his bullpen works as little as possible.

He's only out there cause he's at 85 pitches.

And weirdly enough he ended up with a muscle injury in his first start of the season.

That hit Gurriel.

His fastball command abandoned him this inning.

3rd time through and Gio looks like BP again.

He got plowed into as the ball got there. Vaughn needs to cut that throw off.

You can hear Tony and the umpires

Vaughn, what the fuck are you doing?

Walking Bregman in front of Yordan seems like a terrible idea.

Gio going mostly fastball/slider. IIRC, he had a lot of success last year against the Astros with his change up.

2nd straight multi-hit game for Harrison.

Harrison's AB might have prevented Valdez from going out there in the 7th.

They should have the field levels audio all game on the Apple TV broadcasts. It's actually better.

Gio miraculously at only 60 pitches through 5.

Turns out it wasn't all Allen Thomas' fault.

You know, the solution to this is to make sure you don't hit a ton of grounders on the infield and to just walk to 1B. But we're not very good at doing either of those things.

Feels like McEwing just sends guys from 3rd with 2 outs no matter what.

Apple TV - GIDP probability: 13%. Turns out it was 100%.

Yeah all Alvarez had to do was make sure the throw was on line. They play way more shallow in this stadium's LF too since it's only 310 down the line.

Holy shit, I had no idea his fastball spin was down that much. No wonder his fastball is getting hit so hard. Cease's spinrate is still elite even with the sticky enforcement. Is Cease just still using something and getting away with it while Gio refuses to?

Leury had no real shot of scoring there unless the throw was way offline.

Same thing happened to Grandal.
