It is 19:50 central daylight. You texted me the Houston HotCut Part II this morning. I have been following the U.S. Open most of the afternoon day. It is over and Sunday Night Baseball, aka the HotCut, is airing on 101.1 ESPN in University City, MO. A pitch to Springer is down low. Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton are on the call. Bregman back in upon a throw to first. He singled.
We listened to Cardinals at Orioles at we drove from Belleville to here at 13:45. Lance Lynn was pitching. That's about all I remember. Piscotty homered, his second of the game. There was a fielder's choice in this game, Bregman out at second. A liner past Bogarts, Not That Derek Fisher stops at second, Springer is aboard. Altuve now, the count goes to one-and-two.
I hear catcalls and howls emanating from and echoing througout the Houston crowd. A ball in the dirt, the count even. David Price delivers outside, the count is full, the score even at one. Ball four in the dirt loads the bases. Ten-second pause for station ID. WXOS, The Pride of St. Louis Sports. Here's Correa, who singled his first time up. First pitch swinging is a pop up foul and to the right. Carlos has twelve home runs thus far. Outside corner, strike. Singleton says HPU Gibson will give it to you if you're close, 9.
Mookie dumps one into left-center for a hit. Gurriel catches a pop-out a la Pedroia. Bogarts has 2295 MLB plate appearances and over 600 hits at age 24, remark Jon and Chris on the broadcast. That puts him at 3000 hits at age 40? That's plausible. LO 5, DP 5-3 off the bat of Bogarts.
There was a hit batter but I didn't hear it. I heard the last pitch of Beltran's walk. Gurriel was the HBP. Price is in another jam. "This isn't David Price," says Sciambi. "This is the way the non-elite pitchers survive." Back-to-back change-ups, "one away, one in." Price wears a mouthpiece on the mound, that seems uncommon, 7. "There's somethin' not totally right here with David Price." The trainer has come out along with John Farrell. They are looking at something on his hand. They turn around and go back to the dugout. Bregman takes outside. A foul to the right, out of play. FC, 6-5.
Wild pitch! The runners advance and both now are in scoring position. Was it a cross up? We saw a pitcher throw a fastball just high all the way to the backstop on Friday as the catcher had been crossed up and the pitch barely missed the ump. Catcher's interference, dropped third strikes, now add cross-ups to the list. I doubt anyone is charting cross-ups but I am suggesting they, too, are on the rise. Pitcher and catcher are having a hard time getting together, not just here, but all around the league. Time called. "I mean, seriously, it's like the fourth time tonight, where, it's this dance...." The 2-2 pitch is hit softly, 3U.
The Red Sox went quiet as a quilt in the top of the fourth, 1-2-3. Body spray commercial.
Marisnick, a swing on another curve. I heard "That's enough, that's enough," and the broadcast now comments on it, saying HPU Greg Gibson is telling the Boston dugout to get off his case. A swing and a miss, that is Price's first strikeout. But the Astros aren't striking out much. Springer, LO 6. It's still tied at one, bottom of the fourth. Sox scored on a Bogarts homer, Astros on a McCann single. Altuve, LO 4. Inning over.
Time passes. Bogarts has hit a second homer. Jackie Bradley Jr Jr has doubled and put the Sox up 5-2. Musgrove is run.
Later. Springer homers off the first pitch from Hembree. It's a 5-4 game. Apparently Marisnick homered off of Price right before Hembree entered the game. Price goes 5 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 2 HR, 107 pitches, game score 30.
