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.

Moncada got taken out...he really is hurt again.

Let's pray Gio finds it and stops giving up dingers.

AJP!

I hate that we basically aren't competitive with the Astros in Houston. There was 1 competitive game in Houston last year and that was cause Rodon had a no hitter through 6 innings.

You should see what the other guys did.

It really wasn't like this last year. He was also the only starter who actually gave them something close to an acceptable start in the playoffs too.

Every time this team has a guy get going, they immediately get hurt.

Gio's FIP is 4.7 now.

See, it really was about filet and ribeye.

In case you wanted to know exactly what Lynn and McEwing were arguing about the other day

He would have gotten supercharged had he hit for the cycle.
