for [Music] [Music] that [Music] for for for for [Music] for [Music] good morning good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world this is goo tiger tros and we getting some good information right now some good updates about Kyle Tucker get to that in just a moment let me pause the music here all right got my screen updated got my coffee just need to double check my audio make sure that's all good sounds good looking good we're all ready to go guys and gals let's take a quick preview of today's game so you guys can know what's going on coming up the Astros are back at home for this three- game series against the Arizona Diamond Backs I felt that the Diamond Backs were kind of a a fun team to watch over the past couple of years and I'm always happy when the Astros play them I just think it's a fun matchup and today framber Valdez is going to be back on the mound for the Astros he'll be on the mound right off the bat since the Astros are back in the juice box minute made Park and just to give you a quick overview of the lineup for the Diamond Backs Kettle Marte is going to lead things off followed by Corbin Caroll and Randle Guk the rest of the lineup from there Walker Suarez McCarthy Newman bomo and her for the Astros today let's see who they've got in in the field and behind the plate Jose Altuve is going to be at second base leading the batting off followed by yordon Alvarez Alvarez is playing Left Field today janner Diaz is going to be behind the plate and guess what guys guess who's dhing in the fourth spot Kyle Tucker that's absolutely right I gave you a little preview earlier with the Tucker videos they were showing but Kyle Tucker is back in the lineup for this first game against the Diamondbacks as the DH following Tucker in the fifth slot is paena and then Singleton who's playing first Ben gaml in right field McCormick unfortunately in center field and duah at third base apparently they're giving bregman some more time off kind of disappointed to see McCormick back out in the game in the starting lineup but he did manage to bring his average back up he had dropped down to almost 190 and he managed to get it back up over 200 so good for him at at at the uh I almost said Astro Stadium it is the Astro Stadium minute mate park today they have a special thing going on it's a uh a benefit day a fundraising day they are doing they're they're making cells and doing I don't know if they're doing lotteries but they are selling packages and stuff and that money is supposed to benefit several local charities man some of these are pretty expensive $5,000 for a coopertown charity bag wow pretty expensive stuff right there Astros Foundation Big Love Cancer Care candle lighters sunshine kids Texas Children's Hospital and some others by the way when I was a kid and living in Houston I became very very sick not unlike my recent Illness but the doctors didn't know what it was and they had to send me to some specialists at the Texas Children's Hospital but even they were at a loss as to what to do with me and they told my parents that I should they should prepare preped to just accept that I was not going to make it but somehow I just started getting better and I made it and after that the doctor said your son was so sick he will not grow up to be very tall or very big you know this illness most likely stuned his growth and so he's probably going to be pretty small pretty short well I turned out to be 6'2 and taller than my dad by good 4 in my older brother 2 in shorter than me and in all of the family out of all of my cousins and everybody in the family I was the tallest so it shows you what doctors know they thought I was going to die and they thought I was going to be short and small and they were wrong about everything so I'm dealing with cancer right now and my doctor says that I probably have one to two years left and I should focus on doing what I really want to do and um but who knows what doctors know right what do doctors know we'll see sweet Richard says King Tuck that's right and Pam says hi I'm here pam pam it's so nice to see you I asked about your surgery I didn't see the message until later but I hope it's not a big surgery and I hope it goes smoothly for you please uh check back in and update me because I'd really like to know that you're okay and thank you for sharing that with me I'm an open book about what's going on in my life pretty open and it actually bothers well I should say it bothered because I don't stay in contact with my family anymore just because of stress and uh I just don't like being abused over and over again but they didn't approve of me being so open about myself in my life but what's the point in hiding stuff to keep up an image what image am I trying to convey by not telling people about my health condition but anyway let's take a look at some game information here FR baldez is walking onto the mound guys I'm going to try to set up my preview screen there for a moment get it a little bit behind my live screen as usual there we go that's a really big screen out there I haven't been inside of minute made Park once it's funny that I've been to the astrome several times but I've never been to minute made part I've been away from from Houston for a long time been away from America now for a while been living abroad now for 11 and a half years pretty interesting the Astros are being shown as having the best record vers versus 500 plus teams since June that's encouraging it's one thing to have a win streak or to have the most wins but to have the number one spot versus teams that are over 500 that's great news for the the way the Astros have been doing despite an incredibly disappointing Series against the Reds but we're going to forget about that right at least we're going to we're going to learn what we can hopefully the Astros just took away from that series what they could learn and I forgotten about the rest I had a doctor appointment yesterday and I couldn't be here for the game heard we lost yeah yeah we did and uh it it was I'm not sure what was worse you know giving up so many runs in game two or just losing one to nothing on a solo home run in game three I don't know which which one is worse hard to get cardiologist clearance and blood work oh had to get okay yes okay I know all about the uh blood work stuff I have to go every month to have that done and get my new medicine well Valdez is up on the mound guys and we're about ready to start the top of the first everything's set here I've got my coffee here comes the first pitch from from radz to Marte just misses the inside corner for ball one Marte batting 298 for the season that pitch is Right close to the outside corner but called a ball ball two tun0 pitch is on the way that one's in there and hit up to the middle Altuve Scoops it up like a vacuum cleaner sends it over to First good solid play by Altuve providing the seniority leadership example to Jeremy Peña Corbin Carroll comes to the plate batting 232 but they said that he has had a surge recently and how he's been batting but 232 man that's like Jake Meers numbers that pitch is high and inside for ball One National League player of the month last month actually sounds like he really turned it around here comes the one no pitch right in there for strike one good pitch by framber just cruises in the zone count is even one and one how the heck do we get swept by the Reds that's what I'm screaming I mean you sweep the Royals in four games and you get swept by the Reds how is that possible it couldn't be more extreme that's not in the zone that'll be ball two two and one 96 miles hour fast ball misses here comes a 2-1 pitch that one's in the dirt bounces in the dirt for ball three Diaz walks out to the mound a little bit just to kind of get fber to calm down here comes the 3-1 pitch to Caroll that's in there for a strike Corbin Carroll thought it was a strike and he tosses his Bat Away like a big dope what is with these batters I've seen like three batters do that in the past couple of games just throw the bat away and it's strike what the heck are they thinking count as full three and two really hope he gets a strike out here Carol deserves it for acting like that just plain umpire here comes the Full Count pitch that one's in there and grounded Altuve again and this is a easy bouncer for Jose B and he fires over to First out number two two outs courtesy of my personal hero Jose alve two up and two down nine pitches in that brings up Randle Guk here comes the first pitch to grit GIC it's an interesting name he takes the first pitch a little low nice looking curveball just didn't quite do the job one and0 here comes the next pitch that's another identical pitch basically another curve low just below the Zone ball two reuk not looking for curve balls I guess here comes the next pitch that one's in there fast ball right in the inside upper corner of the zone two balls one strike here comes a pitch Wow way inside that hit the Umpire right in the leg guys he's limping wow man it got him right on the inside of the thigh look at that 97 miles an hour off his thigh right by his knee man ouch Le Diaz not expecting the ball to be over there he probably feels bad about that I'm shaking it off he's walking it off he says no man I'm good I'm good I'm all good I'm I'm an old dog I can handle it three balls and one strike with two outs no Runners on yes uh this game just started oh I got a few comments to check up let me give me a second guys I'll check your comments here I'm sorry about that but the game is live here comes a pitch from framber that was in the dir that' be ball four so we have a two-out based Runner farra with two backto back balls puts Gitchi on base Christian Walker comes to the plate Walker batting 254 this season he was on the injured list until last Tuesday he's back with the Diamondbacks here comes the first pitch that one's also low in the dirt two pitches in the dirt in a row for fber that'll be ball one this will be the 16th pitch of the inning seems like these batters are being pretty patient right now with fber here comes the next pitch that one was close but a little too high ball two 87 miles an hour prer tossing a lot of balls if you tell fber you know you got a lot of balls it's not exactly what it means for him I guess that one's way outside three balls no strikes he's about to walk another guy runner on First with two outs three balls and no strikes to Christian Walker Valdez about to deliver his next pitch here it comes fast ball down the middle fouled away to the right side that'll be strike one fber has not been able to be ahead of any of these hitters so far he's been behind in every count here comes a 3-1 pitch that one's in the middle grounded to paa paa tosses Altuve steps on second no problem out number three so the Astros get another ground out that one goes to paa little bouncer no issue I forgot to put another runner on base but I guess it doesn't really matter does it okay let's check out your comments here I went to the game four of Astros and Royals man that's cool I what did you think about Rush Plays what did you think about the stadium in KC I mean it it looks kind of unique to me sweet Richards says is it true that you can see the images of people x-rayed on the walls and sides of buildings in Hiroshima no that's that's a myth I've heard of people talking about that but that doesn't exist there is uh something in the museum for those of you who don't know in Hiroshima there is a uh peace Park peace Memorial Park and it's right beside the atomic bomb Dome and just within a few minutes walking distance there's a museum and when you go into the museum they take you through well I say they take you through you can walk at your own pace through the entire Museum and they have a a display of many different things pictures and remnants and demonstrations and videos and stuff of uh many things that happened during World War II in Hiroshima and uh they have this one place that supposedly has some steps where somebody was sitting or something and it has some kind of like Blackness or Shadow on or something but it it looks exaggerated to me it and and actually doesn't even look like what it's supposed to be it's just my personal impression I think it's just been overblown and blown out of proportion um oh God Rex yeah hey man hey to you too thank you for being here Brandon fat that's a very interesting name PF a a DT fat is on the mound for the Arizona Diamond Backs will be facing Jose Altuve guys very first pitch is coming on the way right now now little hiding inside but strike one on Altuve he takes that one that looked like a good one to swing on here comes a pitch Altuve gets underneath that one it's going to thankfully fly out of play over to the left side o and two is the count I think he's the first batter in the game to actually be down in the count here's the 0 and2 pitch to Altuve high and outside ball one one and two hello over there in Japan thanks for hosting the stros thank you for being here that one's low and outside ball two the count is even I'm happy to do it as long as I'm able to as long as I have the ability to do it my health is good and I'm happy to be here just outside wow that was close how can you take that one Altuve that was close look at that ball [Laughter] three that was less than an inch out of the Zone here comes the Full Count pitch that was hit hard to left field that's gonna be down looks like it's gonna be a double all the way to the wall Altuve is rushing around first he'll make it into second no problem with a rip a three ball two strike rip down the line all the way to the wall and Altuve cruises into second no problem how do you like that lead off double on a 3-2 count by my hero Jose Altuve he's the man that's what I like to see in the first inning come on let's bring him in yordon Alvarez comes to the plate no outs 2v on second here's the pitch little high ball one man Alvarez batting 309 right now with a 958 Ops here's the first or second Pitch rather to him another high one ball two they really don't like pitching to Alvarez they kind of keep it out of the zone two and0 is the count I love that shot of minimade park it just to me it's kind of iconic right there here comes the 20 pitch that one's in there lower outside corner of the Zone he takes that little Sweeper for strike one two balls in one strike swinging a Miss on the outside corner 87 mil an hour that evens the count two and two man that was a terrible swing yordon you can do better than that I'm excited for this game tonight I think we wake up tonight I feel the same I feel the same here comes the two two pitch to yo on that was high another Full Count guys backto back full counts for the Astros let's see if yordon can give it a ride like Altuve did maybe the the pitcher here Brandon fat he'll make an error throw it right down the heart of the plate and he almost does on the outside of the plate fouled Away by yordon he got lucky there the pitcher did rather if he throws it over the plate I think yon's going to give it a ride here's a 3-2 pitch I went right in there oh I was so wrong yordon you let me down look at that he throws it right over the plate and yordon takes it how is it that even I knew that the pitcher would be coming down the heart of the plate it was his only chance to get him and yordon didn't know know that it was coming how could he not know that was coming how could he just take that pitch and why did he back off good grief Yer Diaz comes to the plate he grounds the first one to the short stop he fires over Al Altuve is not able to advance one pitch to Diaz and that's going to be out number two come on guys Guess who's coming to the plate it's Kyle Tucker Kyle Tucker Two outs at Altuve on second his first at bat the crowd is on their feet cheering they got their King Tuck stuff on here comes the first pitch it's low for ball one Kyle Tucker you know for those of you who don't know and I think none of you know I don't believe I've mentioned this Kyle Tucker is wearing number 30 that was my number in high school here comes the pitch fouled back nice swing by Tucker but not able to make solid contact with it one in one is the count Tucker playing tonight yes my man absolutely he is Pam he absolutely is let's hope he has a good game a good safe solid game for Tucker that'd be great here comes a one-1 pitch from fat that one's high ball two good eye two balls one strike two outs Altuve on second but wanting to be home send him home Tucker here's the pitch ooh inside and low but strike to well placed pitch there two balls two strikes here comes the pitch to Tucker Tucker fouls that one off with a kind of a protective style check swing not sure what was going on there was a high high pitch count remains two and two Astros with the only hit so far altuve's opening double here comes the two- two pitch to Tucker in the dirt that bounces around they got him on the foot are you kidding me seriously that ball hit Tucker on the foot he's going to go to First [Laughter] so tuger first hit bat back he gets hit thankfully he's just on the foot and he didn't appear to be bothered at all Astros have Runners on first and second with two outs yeah right there on the back foot not a big deal thankfully no injury there wouldn't that be sucky come right back in and get hit on the foot and get injured how ridiculous Jeremy Peña comes to the plate here's the first pitch to him he fouls that one off bounces it harmlessly off to the side Altuve looking so sharp at the plate getting that Full Count double and then yordon striking out looking janner Diaz grounding out on one pitch now we got Runners on first and second Peña fouls that one off opposite field down the first Baseline a nice liner but out of play 0 and two is the count to Peña that's actually how Altuve started off he was able to work the count back to fo and then get a double Altuve at second Tucker at first here comes the O2 pitch to Pena fouled out to the right side and looks like it's going to be out of play broke his Bat on that strike apparently he's going to grab another bat right quick sweeper Sinker and for seam fast ball pretty even amount of variety from Brandon fat three main pitches Jeremy Peña with the O2 count here comes the pitch fouled back again count remains 0 and two 94 miles hour on that one I thought altu Bay was on he is I just I forgot to move it on the screen my that was my bad here comes the O2 pitch to paa that's in the dirt almost ball one one and two this will be the sixth pitch of the abbat but it's only one and two pñ has fouled off several here comes the pitch a swinging a Miss down low got him striking out at least he didn't go down looking like yordon did yordon at bat was the most disappointing of the inning he was the only one to strike out looking on a very obvious very very obvious strike and hitable Pitch so that's unfortunately it for the Astros in the top of the first or rather the bottom of the first we're going to cruise into the second inning all knotted up at goose eggs a score that I've gotten too used to to seeing but the Astros do have the first hit of the game with altuve's double but they waste it the Astros have now left four on base and that basically means that Alvarez had an opportunity to move somebody Diaz had an opportunity to move somebody paa had the opportunity to move two people and they failed all of those opportunities so Astros is already with four chances to move runners or three chances to move four runners and didn't do it it it sucks to get a double on your opening batter your leadoff batter and then it's just nothing after that that's disappointing very very disappointing got about a Baker's Dozen watching right now thank you so much for being here I appreciate it make sure you remember to like the video I put a little Banner on the screen right above right above my video of myself right above my camera on the screen you can see that Banner it has some likes and subscribes and stuff like that I'm trying to grow the channel and build it up so I decided to put that there just to kind of remind you guys uh for those of you who are new please like the video and for those of you who are returning to continue indoctrinating you to like the video the primary reason that I need to do that right now or I I could really use that right now is because it gets more viewers in once it gets to about 20 likes then the video is shown to more people and in the search results and it's recommended to more people by YouTube and then when those people start coming in and my likes get up to like 30 in 40s Etc they show it to more and more people it's basically like a I don't want to quite call it a snowball effect but it's kind of like an unlocking effect the more people that like it it's like it unlocks another level and YouTube shows it to more people and not just to more people but a larger amount of people so for example in the early stages of the game when I go live generally I might have besides my subscribers I might have like uh five people show up wow so while I'm off the screen fber gets a strike out while while I'm updating you guys on nonsense about my channel okay so I'll get back on it who was that they are talking to somebody right now and I don't know what's going on in the game I can I they keep showing them talking with this family here and now they're showing Altuve munch on his his fingernails okay second pitch Jake McCarthy is at the plate they're not giving me any information on the screen because they're talking about the charity and understand that but I need to see the information on the screen you can show it and talk about them at the same time Jake McCarthy is at the plate he just gets the third pitch from framber and that's a swing and a miss I haven't been able to show any any of these highlights because they haven't been showing any that's confusing the game is actually going on there's already one out from a strikeout Jake McCarthy now has one ball and two strikes but they're showing just the they're just showing me the interview with the family related to the charity with no information on the screen and no audio for it so how can I call it if I can't see it does that make sense another strikeout by Valdez this time outside corner got him looking how about that two strikeouts in a row this inning Valdez up to 28 pitches Kevin Newman coming to the plate for the Diamondbacks first pitch to Newman is low and inside 88 miles an hour 88 miles an hour ball one two 81 Kevin Newman's batting average for the season swing in a Miss strike one that evens the count here comes the one-onone pitch curveball right in the zone strike two nice pitch by framber so far this inning fber has let's see 12 pitches he had 19 in the first inning way too many hopefully he can get out of it right here with 13 pitches that'd be great here it comes right now that one's fouled off to the right side just enough to send it off in the crowd that'll be another one ball and two strike count here comes the pitch this one's bounced down the line dubon gets it sends it to Singleton for the out good solid play there and that's out number three that ends the inning that ends the top of the second inning rather Astros coming up are John Singleton Ben gaml and Chaz McCormack let's check the chat here right quick okay no no updated information I moved my camera a little bit closer so you guys could see me I wish I could have it more up here instead of down here I think that this is a horrible angle I've got a little bit too much meat under my neck right now so it's not a very lovely image maybe if I have it like this if I call the game like this it's a little strange got about a dozen people right now eight likes Let me refresh the screen see if that changes no it's still eight oh my gosh but actually 11 people watching with eight likes is not bad hopefully that number will go up quickly the earlier it gets to 20 the better because it will kind of be more like a snowball later on as these like I was saying earlier as the doors are opened to more exposure behind each door is a larger a larger audience so in the beginning um almost almost said the Astros YouTube will show my live feed to a not it'll notify my subscribers maybe it doesn't notify everybody and it will show it and recommend it to some people on YouTube but when the higher level kind of opens up it will show it to not just more people but a higher or higher uh number of people like a larger audience and then from there a larger even larger audience and so forth and so forth Sean Singleton is at the plate here comes the first pitch he swings and fouls it back 95 miles an hour back into the stands strike one the other day I heard that John Singleton's 13th home run tied his career high or was his career high but actually just tied it 94 miles an hour he can't get the bat on that one that'll be strike too that was a good pitch right in the middle of the plate it doesn't get more perfect than that 94 in the middle of the plate here's the next pitch 9 92 up and in that'll be ball one if I were fat I would just keep throwing that fast ball right down the middle Singleton doesn't seem to be able to pick it up it's going to have to get around earlier than that man come on here's the pitch fouled away 87 on the outside corner decent crowd at minute made Park but defin definitely not completely packed here comes a one and two pitch that's a good foot outside ball too cool view with the train track in the distance there next pitch comes in Singleton hits it to the Gap in the right center field that's going to be down for a hit guys so single B Singleton gets another single how do you like that there we go so Astros have another lead off Runner so Altuve let off the First with a double Singleton leads off the second with a single John single MC Singleton living up to his name we need to get a guy on the on the team who's named doubleton a guy who's named tripleton and a guy who's named homerton maybe even a guy who's named gr slammington I'm just saying Ben Gamble comes to the plate first pitch to him is a little outside 85 M an hour ball one how funny would it be if somebody's name was gr slammington it's such a weird sounding name my name is Mr gr lamington here's the pitch bounced foul that'll be a strike one ball one strike to gaml gamel's name almost like Graham Graham grand grand slamon gr slamon Ben gr gram gaml slamon here comes a 1-1 pitch gaml takes that one away outside for ball two two and one oh they just gave a sad statistic I don't even want to repeat it about yesterday yesterday's game here's the two in one pitch to gaml SL Grand slammington oh he goes into left Center that's going to be a base hit I might even go through Singleton is around to third gaml goes to Second Singleton is going home but he gets thrown out at the plate are you kidding me why in the world would John Singleton try to make that run why would John Singleton of all people try to make that attempt to to get home what a great hit by gaml right into the Gap a double and Singleton decides to test the arm and he just doesn't make it I want to show I want to show you the side view of this you can see just how bad it was take a look at this from the side man he can't even holy cow so Ben gaml goes to Second and Astros don't score could have had a guy on second and third swinging a Miss by Chaz McCormack on the very first pitch that'll be strike one man what kind of nonsense is that who tells John Singleton to go man you can make it whose fault is that is that John Singleton's fault or the third base coach got to be the third base coach why would you send Singleton here's the 01 pitch to mccor swinging a Miss on the outside corner that's 0 and two to Chaz Chaz going after the first two pitches and unable to connect on anything calls time out come on Astros you can't be blowing your opportunities with stupid base running come on now what are you thinking here's the 0 and2 pitch to Chaz McCormick low and outside he takes that one for ball one I'm going to need to pour myself some more coffee one ball two strikes one out gaml on second here's oh no fat comes off the mound fakes a throat a second Grand slammington gaml is is back no problem and the crowd Boos I wish that the minute made Park fans would not boo on stuff like that that's silly here comes a onew pitch another one outside and low that evens the count two and two if Chaz can get on base it will give duban an opportunity to come up and maybe if we're lucky we'll get to Altuve here comes the two two pitch to McCormack this one's H hard to right field that's going to go all the way back to the warning track is gaml going to be able to tag yes he does that's deep enough for gaml to get to third that would have scored Singleton it would have scored Singleton if they had held him up like they were supposed to like they should have it should be one to nothing Astros right now but but no who sends John Singleton Macio Debon is up guys with two outs here comes the pitch he hits it right down the line it's through that's going to score it's going to score Ben gaml very first pitch dubon just rips it right through the hole there we do get the run this should be two to nothing Astros but I'll take the one run three hits now for the stros with duan's rip right through the Gap there excellent as Mr Burns says excellent yes yes this is perfect Smithers Jose Altuve comes to the plate again duban is on first they're going to come out and have a little chitchat the catcher for the Diamond Backs decides to call a timeout and come out have a little discussion about the danger that is Jose Altuve oh man that's really cool they're actually playing For Whom the Bell TOS in minute made park that's awesome that's such a better choice than Hell's Bells I much prefer the beginning of For Whom the Bell TOs and actually the whole song is about a thousand times better than Hell's Bells my man is back in the plate guys back at the plate he had a double his first bat here comes the pitch that one's right in the middle of the plate 94 taken for strike one okay now that Altuve has a good look hopefully he knows what to do two outs dubon on first first Astros up one to nothing Altuve at the plate facing Brandon fat here comes the pitch Altuve bunts it it's going to get to the pitcher way too fast though that's going to be it why did he bunt there that went right back to the pitcher no problem so that's going to be it for the Astros man altu had a double in the first why are you bunting with two outs it was not the time to be bunting man the Astros have made several questionable calls both the players and the coaches luckily despite all the nonsense They Come Away with one run but four hits in this game and just one run it at the least it should be two to nothing right now let's take a look at the chat guys let's get caught up and see what's going on right now 14 people watching thanks for being here make sure you remember to please like the video very very important important for me to get those likes up okay nothing else nothing new going on in the chat I don't have a poll up right now will Tucker get a hit yes just one probably not yet at least two so for those of you who don't know Tucker is dhing today he's already been hit on the foot okay he was hit on the back foot so he had a a walk to first on the hit by pitch but the question now is will he get a hit not will he get hit but will he get a hit and say yes probably not this game or at least two what do you think what do you think I'm GNA say if he stays in the game he'll get two hits that's what I feel we're going into the top of the third Valdez is back on the mound he's at 32 pitches I'm sorry 33 this will be the 34th coming to Heraldo p Mo that's in there for strike one lower outside corner well placed by Valdez is my second cup of coffee Reddit n it's not quite ready I need to add a little more water here we go I think that's enough here comes a 10 pitch to promo oh and one pitch I'm sorry bounc to third backhand throw by Peña all the way to First did he get him no it wasn't in time that was an amazing play by Peña but there's just almost no way to get him right there man paa is so great at these crazy plays it was so close man he worked so hard for that one made a great throw but just barely missed getting the out so the Diamondbacks have a leadoff Runner with no outs here's the pitch from Valdez just on the outside corner ball one with Herrera showing bunt here's the next pitch it's hit to framber fber goes to First not quite sure why fromer didn't go to Second it looked like he had time did it look like he had have time to or he had time to go to Second it did to me but he gets the out at first on the bunt by Herrera so the runner goes to Second stuff like that I'd like to take a closer look at I want to know why nobody was on second anyway one out runner on second Marte is up that's in there for strike one they're talking with uh Craig beio about some charity work that they were able to do they raised $400,000 in one day man that's it's amazing here comes the 01 pitch to Marte that one's in the dirt looks like that'll be ball one my coffee is ready runner on second one out here comes the pitch to Marte this one's bounced to Third dubon is going to tag the runner third he almost has a chance to go for a double play bonehead base running by look at that bonehead base running over to third so dubon is able to catch it and just tag the runner out the runner was running like he didn't even realize where the ball was how how what a dope look at this look at this play he's like oh oh no oh no Pomo more like pomy that was bad base running out to runner at first here's the first pitch to Corbin Carrol Carrol fouls it up they're over right by The Dugout almost able to get it dubon gave it a shot D Yer was over there too just barely couldn't get to it the Diamond Back helping out dubon there pushing him back up helping him to get back onto the field that was funny strike one to Carol I need to move the runner over to First there we go here comes the 01 pitch to Carol he swings at that one and fouls it off at the plate that'll be strike two good pitch by fber 84 breaking ball I need one more creamer for my coffee make it a little more delicious 0 and two with two outs runner on first here's the pitch from fber Carol swings and misses that's another strike out for Valdez and that'll do it for this inning strike three boom out three awesome Astros do some good defensive work that time and shut it down so a little disappointing with and or yeah disappointing but questionable questionable decisions for the Astros on offense both by the coaches and the players but some really good solid defense that inning for the Astros that's encouraging great heads up play by dubon the runner was just running to third like he had had blinders on he didn't see what was going on and by the time he realized dubon had the ball he he reacted way too late dubon was able to apply the tag and destroy that runner on third so that was awesome how many strikeouts now does fber have about four no just three I thought he had four but three still good three strikeouts in two innings three Innings three Innings my bad or I guess you could say yeah it's three Innings three Innings let's take a look in the live chat here uh aalo says how do you got winning the you mean who who do I who do I have winning the World Series this year do you think it's going to win the Super Bowl this year I have one in the world one in the world huh uh well about the World Series I'm pulling for the Astros they do have the talent and the ability to win to go to the World Series and win but there's no guarantee so I can't say for sure but I'd like to think that they will and I know that they can but as far as the the Super Bowl go goes I really don't care I don't give one flip about NFL really I was a Houston older fan growing up and I will always be a Houston Oiler fan and they are gone unless they come back to Houston I'm done with the NFL I watch the LSU Tigers play football and that's it yordon Alvarez grounds out little easy ground out to second base to lead off the Astros in the bottom of the Third one away Yer Diaz comes to the plate here comes the first pitch to Diaz this one's hit up the middle liner all the way out in the Gap he's going to go for two he's going to walk in nice a double by Yer Diaz out into left center field good hit good solid hit that's what we're talking about one out double for Yer Diaz and guess who's coming to the plate Kyle Tucker so Tucker comes to bat with the second opportunity to do something with a runner on second let's see if he gets his first hit his last at bat he was hit on the foot here comes the first pitch from fat that one's High out of the Zone ball one as far as the NFL is concerned I will say that I do wish the Texans the best you know for for them and for the sake of Houston I hope they do well but I don't care about the NFL I don't pay attention second Pitch is high to Tucker that'll be ball two and by the way I do like Joe burrow with the Bengals simply because he was with LSU and he had a completely Stellar year as far as I'm concerned that LSU team is the best NCA football team that has ever been it was it was an amazing year next pitch to Tucker is 81 m per hour breaking pitch right in the bottom of the Zone strike one two balls and one strike tuck so I really have a lot of respect for burrow and and the guys that were with him and uh if they went to the Super Bowl and one I wouldn't mind that but I'm still not going to pay much attention to it I don't follow it if the Bengal played in the Super Bowl I might would watch it actually but other than that I don't care I do want the Saints to lose though like I said I'm a lifelog Oilers fan you can't get me to like the Saints sorry I do like the Tigers but not the saints that pitch is low it's going to be Ball Four wow Tucker is on first again for the second bat in a row he got a hit on his foot the last hit bat in this one he takes a walk good patient at bats by Tucker resulting in more base runners Yer Diaz on second Kyle Tucker on first that brings up Jeremy Peña Kyle Tucker stats for through the first 27 wins for the Astros were insane batting 344 that's crazy Astros up one to nothing guys here in the bottom of the third Runners on first and second trying to get something going Jeremy Peña comes to the plate facing Brandon fat who's now up to 52 pitches he probably won't get out of this inning without 60 pitches or without at least 60 pitches here comes the first pitch to Peña this one's hit down the line ch just barely foul man that was close Right Down the Line no balls one strike to Jeremy Peña I wonder if Peña gets a hit here are they going to show the Taco commercial again I hope so I think it's funny to see he fouls that one off that'll be strike two no balls in two strikes one out Runners on first and second come on let's do something here Here Comes o02 pitch way outside more than a foot off the plate that'll be ball one one and two Yer taking his lead off second Tucker taking a lead off first here comes the one-w pitch TOA outside fake throw to first count is even two and two catcher pretends to throw it over Tucker Dives back to first base lots of signals a lot of weird stuff going on from the catcher to the pitcher look at all these signs he's got the pitch C and he's doing all these strange signs to the pitcher that's weird two balls two strikes here comes a pitch to Pena and this one's hit to the short stop looks like it's going to be a double play and it is oh man really out of all the places you had hit the ball to it had to be a perfect spot for an easy double play that's going to be it for the Astros in the bottom of the third so they threaten but come up short again stranding two base runners that's the TA of the tape right there Astros plus stranded base runners equals complete and utter sadness that's the equation the Astros seem to be actively practicing that type of math very disappointing I get so tired of seeing them strand base runners it's frustrating you know they only had runners in scoring position three times in the game yesterday game three versus the Reds they lost one to nothing they had just three opportunities to bring runners in from a scoring position and they failed all three times doing it three times is one thing but when you do it like 13 times in a game or something that's unacceptable got about 14 people following right now how many likes do we have Let me refresh the screen 11 guys I need nine more likes let's take a look at the poll right quick will Tucker get a hit yeah get a hit yes just one 40% say yes probably not 20% at at least two 40% so right now we are divided between just one and at least two well he does have a walk and a hit by pitch but he has yet to make contact with the ball he hasn't put it in play yet we are through three Innings that's interesting one of the charity event items she got was a bat from Kyle Tucker signed bat from Kyle Tucker that's pretty cool wouldn't mind having one of those five hits for the Astros one hit for the Diamondbacks Astros are leading one to nothing so five runs have only converted one five hits have only con converted one run first pitch to Randall grit is low for ball one fber now up to 44 pitches so far as this game this one's hit into center field right center Tucker is underneath it no not Tucker gaml I'm so I'm still thinking that Tucker's out in the field he's not out in the field that's that's uh Grand slammington gr graml slammington that's out there in right field that'll be one down after two pitches 45 pitches now for fber here comes a first pitch to Christian Walker little high outside for ball one it just floated outside the Zone here comes the one and0 pitch same style pitch floated outside the Zone a little high ball two good movement on that ball here comes the two- pitch that one's low that misses the Zone by several inches that'll be ball three three straight Balls by fber three balls no strikes here comes the pitch and that one's outside four pitch walk by rber Walker will walk to first base he lives up to his name one out one runner on first base here comes the pitch to uino Suarez Suarez fouls the first pitch down the the third Baseline that'll be strike one o and one is the count three for 15 against fber here comes the next pitch swinging a Miss on a ball that was almost in the dirt 91 miles an hour strike two o and two is the count here comes the pitch swinging a Miss strike three fber picks up another strikeout man good breaking pitch 52 pitches now for fber five strikeouts now is that right or is it just four I'll check in just a moment Jake McCarthy comes to the plate first pitch to him is another swing in a Miss on a low breaking pitch 86 miles an hour nice looking pitches from fber now after throwing four straight Balls to the guy he put on on base that that yeah that was Walker here comes the 01 pitch this one's grounded to Altuve at second he Scoops it up fires over to First and gets the Speedy Runner man man that was close look how close this was man Altuve had to hurry up and throw it he played a a little deep on that almost cost fber and the Astros another base runner but luckily he sped up a little bit when he got it it kind of reminded me of the game that Singleton blew for the Astros playing that ball so deep instead of playing it close missing that out at first base Astros wound up losing that game and that was a big reason why but that's it for that inning let me go ahead and change the base base paths here take this Runner off there we go bottom of the fourth coming up speaking of John Singleton single MC Singleton who had a single in his lasted bat he comes to the plate followed by Ben Grand slamming gamton Ben gaml slammington and then Chaz McCormack can I come up with another name besides the chasman manian devil he doesn't deserve that name because he doesn't go crazy at the plate at all he hasn't lived up to that nick name ever when has Chaz McCormick ever lived up to the name the chasman manian devil I mean he had a decent run for a time with the Astros but he hasn't done anything to earn such a big nickname but maybe if we give him a different nickname he can turn that around what do you think Chaz don't want to call him spaz I don't want to see him freaking out uh what do we need we need somebody to hit the ball that's what we need him to do is hit the ball Chaz mc mcor mcor mc uhoh John Singleton comes to the plate destroys the ball on the first pitch but it goes foul look at this just boom and off into the stands on the right side man he he launched that one wow straighten that one out here comes the 01 pitch to Singleton and inside ball one the count is even MC cormi trying to become I mean uh Singleton trying to become homerton here comes the pitch that one's low for ball two two and one blast McCormick blast blast blast McCormick how about that two balls one strike to Singleton here comes the pitch swinging a foul ball at the plate two balls two strikes let's see if they can get another lead off Runner here that'd be great it's funny seeing the that it's night at minimade Park and right next to it I've got my window it's daytime here ah strike three looking on the outside corner Singleton takes an 84 m per hour pitch looking like yordon there let's just take it nah let's not swing let's just strike out let's go down looking let's go down without a fight you got to swing at that buddy I don't know who your batting coach is but wherever he's at right now he's probably shaking his head that'll be the third strikeout for Brandon fat one away here in the bottom of the fourth he's facing Ben gaml that one's hit hard to right field it's all the way to the wall caught by Carol at the warning track right by the wall gaml gives it a ride on the very first pitch that was close man both Singleton and gaml drive the ball deep on the very first pitch of there at bats Singleton hits it foul gaml drives it all the way to the wall man that was close out number two that brings up blast McCormack takes that first pitch for a ball little high and outside one0 man that was close here comes the 10 pitch that one was just a little outside the Zone but called a strike so I think the first pitch could have been a strike this one could have been a ball but the Umpire got them backwards don't quite get that here comes a one and-one pitch that one's way outside for ball to do any of you follow college football I wasn't able to call the LSU game because I had to go to HOSA City and attend my monthly doctor's appointment but I was able to watch the game on my phone it was very disappointing blast McCormick takes that pitch for a strike right in the zone 83 mil an hour that's a good looking pitch to hit right there counts even two and two with two outs two two two here comes the pitch takes that on the outside ball three good eye not a good pitch to be fishing after Full Count this is the 69th pitch of the game for fat swing and a miss now that was another garbage pitch on the outside that was worse than the last pitch and McCormack went after it what are you thinking man look at this are you kidding me are you kidding me what's worse Chaz swinging at that or yordon taking a strike for strike three which one is worse it's a big question Eric Wallace thank you for being here and hey to you too how are you doing today it's Saturday morning here in Hiroshima 10:20 a.m. I had a good rest but I feel like I'm still quite tired hopefully I can get woken up maybe the Astros will be able to start hitting the ball and wake me up that would be nice only 11 likes on the video got about 18 watching that's not bad for just you know 11 likes I hope I can get some more if you guys haven't liked the video please please do that now it was a great day explored DC a bit that's awesome was that your first time in DC and did you check out the government buildings from will be facing looks like Kevin Newman haraldo Pomo Pomo and Jose Herrera in the top of the fifth inning this game hasn't been very eventful I like the fact that fber has only giving up one hit and has a shut out going that's great he's got 54 pitches that's not bad at all right where he's at going into the fifth inning what I find Difficult about this game is that the Astros have just five hits I mean five hits is not a big deal but only one run they should have at least one extra run on the board right now but they have left runners in scoring position a couple of times a few times can't be doing that it is the Astros charity game today so they're talking about that a lot here's the first pitch to Newman that's on the outside corner 78 mph strike one good pitch by framber here comes the next pitch that one's a little little off the plate 88 miles per hour ball one one and one I've got so much homework to get done guys it's ridiculous here comes the next pitch that one's in the dirt swinging missed though strike two got him swinging on that pitch come on you can listen to the woman talk but show The Game come on show the game they're just showing this interview show the game show the game we can hear you talking to her but please show the game I want to see the game thank you finally one and two is the pitch that one's in the dirt ball two two and two man they won't stop showing that video I support the charity game and all of that but when they're talking to somebody why the game is going they should just show the video of the game we can listen to the audio of the interview we don't need to see them actually talking to the lady that will be a strike three that pitch is a nice breaking pitch 80 mph another strike out for framber Newman goes down swinging that brings up Heraldo Pomo Pomo is the guy who had the boneheaded base running play earlier when he got tagged out by dubon here comes the first pitch to Pomo outside and high for ball one one and0 is the count 60 pitches now for fber and here comes the next one bounced down the third Baseline foul strike one the count is even Pomo actually is the only one with a hit in this game so far he hit it to Peña and Peña threw it back over his shoulder on a jumping throw and was just barely not able to get it there in time other than that there have been no hits for the diamond back that's another pitch right in the bottom of the Zone 78 milph breaking pitch strike two good pitch by framber was nice one ball two strikes one out here comes the one and two pitch that one's in the dirt two balls two strikes here's the next pitch ooh that was not a bad pitch a breaking ball in the dirt but he did not bite that makes the count fool he almost got him to go three balls two strikes with one out no Runners on here's the pitch to Pomo this one's hit to paa paa Scoops it up fires to First and that'll be two outs good solid foundational Fielding play there that brings up Jose Herrera Jose Herrera he had a bunt in the third inning and uh was thrown out at first by Valdez here comes the first pitch to him little low and inside for ball one 97 miles hour on that one here comes the next pitch 98 fouled away steamer from Valdez on that pitch here comes the next one that one's low and outside in the dirt ball two two and one here's the 2-1 pitch swinging a Miss 90 mil an hour good pitch right in the zone swing and a miss that's two and two two balls two strikes this will be the 70th pitch of the game for framber the count is even two and two do up for the Astros in the bottom of the fifth Mauricio duban Jose Altuve and yordon Alvarez that pitch outside for ball three the count is full here comes a pitch from framber bounc down the third Baseline dubon grabs it long throw to first makes it perfectly and that's going to be it for the Diamond Backs in this inning good play by dubon Perfect throw takes his time fires across the diamond good job that'll do it for the Diamond Backs in this inning we're going to move to the bottom of the fifth with duon himself coming up after making that play he'll be at the plate in just a moment anything going on in the chat guys anything new Eric has some new comments uh I saw the government buildings a few days ago saw a holocaust museum yesterday I wonder how those museums compare to the ones that I saw in Germany a long time ago I went to Germany when I was in high school it's been 30 years ago it's crazy thinking that it was so long ago but I was 17 at the time and uh we went in there and looked around and of course I'm in hirosima so I've been to the museum here three times um the reason I've been in three times is the first time I came by myself when I was touring Hiroshima before I moved here second time I went with a couple friends and the third time I went with some other friends uh friends visit from outside of Hiroshima people that are not from here and the last time I went was with uh my best friend from China and his wife I took them through there that wasn't a very that was a very interesting experience for them being able to see those things from the Japanese perspective because you know in China it's very different and there's also a different Focus if you go through the museum in Japan about the war you know they they just show the horrors of War and what it does to people and the idea is that we we should denounce this and not ever have War ever again but if you go to the museums like this about the war or you know any Foreign Wars War museums in China the focus is always look what they did to us it's always that way they want the people to really keep their anger and and up upset upsetedness versus Japan and uh other countries that have hurt them but especially Japan they they're very antagonistic the government is against Japan here's the first pitch to dubon that was low and outside for ball one dubon on the very first first pitch had a hit a single they drove in a run the only run of the game so far one ball no strikes to dubon Here Comes the next pitch he swings at that one a little low in the zone but fouls it off at his feet one ball one strike lead lead uh batter is duon no outs no Runners on this one's hit up the middle and it's going to be a slow single another base hit by dubon he just sneaks it through right past the short stop good little hit by duon there just perfectly placed pokes it through Astros with another leadoff Runner man good job by the Astros getting some leadoff runners they just need to convert these you know they need to move these Runners around and get them in that brings up Jose Altuve my hero here comes the first pitch to Altuve grounds it through on the right side that's another base hit dubon is he going to try for three no he stops at second but Altuve is on base with another hit and he advances duban to second with that poke through the opposite field just past the second baseman really good swing and hit by Altuve there yordon Alvarez comes up with no outs and two Runners on Now's the Time to do something Alvarez here we go first pitch he crushes it to right field guys this is gone it is so gone it is way up into the upper deck it is absolutely gone three-run shot by yordon Alvarez on the very first pitch a towering shot into the upper deck did that hit the sign up there holy cow where did it even go three run home run four to nothing Astros as they flash the lights in minute made Park yordon makes his way around the bases and we've got the arm bashes at the plate that's the way an inning should look for the Astros in the top of the order couple of Runners get on yordon smashes one out that's what I like to see right there that is what I like to see four to nothing eight hits now for the Astros still no outs in the inning Yer Diaz at the plate that Ball's low and outside ball one yordon clears the bases crowd's still excited right now yeah I am too the next pitch is in there for strike one one and one is the count against Diaz No outs no Runners on Diaz swipes it that one fouls it away that'll be strike two one and two is the count here's the one and two pitch to Diaz fouls that one off that was high could have been bow two we'll have another one and two count Diaz did have a double in the third inning that pitch is way outside and low for ball two and that evens the count so nice to see yordon getting another home run in minute made Park little check swing there by Diaz on that low pitch outside they say he did not go that will be ball three full count no outs no Runners on Full Count to Diaz here's the pitch that's low Ball Four awesome got another base runner guys I need to get my previews a little time my previews a little better I can't show too much of the video here guys because I don't want to get copyright copyright strike I can do highlights in the commentary on it that's fine but I can't show too much hope you can understand that next pitch loow inside to Kyle Tucker little check swing they say he did not go that'll be ball one one and0 to Kyle Tucker Tucker walked his lasted bat was hit on his foot the bat before that let's see if he can get ahead here here that one's in the dirt bouncer in the dirt two balls and no strikes wow did you see that man they just showed where the ball wound up a fan just got it on a bounce it went right under the sign you got to see that look at this the ball goes right under the sign right there look right there you see that man that's lucky right there two balls and no strikes 88 miles per hour in the bottom of the Zone just barely Clips it for strike one that looked like it could have been ball three two balls and one strike to Tucker Yer on first base no outs a blast by Tucker I would just destroy this place right now this is bounced foul some contact by Tucker but that'll be strike two the count is even Childhood Cancer that's the charity Focus for today I'm dealing with cancer myself it's terrible that children have it that's absolutely awful here comes the next pitch swing in a Miss by Tucker the catcher seems to have been hit did he get hit by Tucker's bat I'm not sure let's take another look yeah he did he got hit on the head he got hit on the top of the head by his Bat wow that hit pretty hard right on the top of his head wow look where he hits him on the top of the head with his bat look at this other angle right here right in the crease right there ow he's still down he didn't get up guys he stayed down that'll be out number one as Tucker strikes out but on the back swing he really clobbered the catcher this is Christian Walker I believe probably going to be a minute while they check on him I I'll see what's going on in the chat anything in the chat guys how many likes do we have do we have 20 yet oh we're so close we've got 18 just two more just two more two more likes to get to 20 got about 21 people watching thank you so much for being here I think that's the highest number we've had so far on this particular live stream it's nowhere near the record though the record so far is around 55 maybe I have never seen it over 60 so I'm pretty sure that 50 55 is about the max I've had it one time so far they finally got the catch her up and they've got a new one coming in so oh that's uh Herrera not Walker that's Herrera that was behind the plate he's coming out of the game we' got a new catcher coming in they'll let him take some pitches is that Castillo yeah Adrien Dell Castillo is coming in to replace Herrera they're going to give him a chance to warm up a little bit he's they give him a ball and he's out there tossing it around a little bit that was funny the very first throw he went the the return throw was in the dirt and he missed it they had to give him another ball that was funny he was laughing about it he's like okay all right let's check the live feed again my hero too yeah Pam you and I we are we are all tuve lovers ghost Ros Amen to that ghost Ros 149 Subs I'm almost at 150 that's great that's wonderful one more I'll be at 150 my next big goal is 500 500 Subs but for today I just need at least 20 likes I try to go day by day but my big goals I have different different goals at different steps for my channel eventually I would like to have several thousand Subs how awesome would it be to have 10,000 subscribers that would be great you know there are some channels that have millions of Subs but a channel like this doesn't need and and we'll never have millions of Subs I know that it won't but a few thousand Subs would be awesome for a channel like this just need one more sub two more likes for today and I'll be happy Jeremy Peña is at the plate guys with one out one runner on he shows bunt pulls back that'll be ball one fat is still on the mound for the Diamond Backs they don't change pitchers one ball no strikes to paena Here Comes the pitch H this one skyed into center field painting gets way too far under it easy play for the center fielder Diaz stays on first base so the Astros do have another chance they did create another chance with the Yer getting on but Tucker struck out hit the catcher on the back swing Yer comes in flies out the I'm not the Yer um Peña comes up to the the plate flies out and with two outs and a runner on they're going to bring Brandon fat out of the game guys they're not going to let him face John Singleton I guess it's because he's a lefty that's my assumption so we're going to have another break here for a moment while they make a pitching change I can concentrate on my subscribers my team if you guys have a chance please either vote in my PLL leave a comment leave a like on the video and if you haven't you're welcome to subscribe we are in the top I'm sorry not the top the bottom of the fifth inning Astros added three more runs with jordon's crushed home run to the upper deck out in right field Astros are up four to nothing with eight hits just one hit so far for the Cardinals the C the Cardinals man I was looking at the the MLB commercial and it was showing a highlight of Paul gold Schmidt with the Cardinals and I said the Cardinals instead of the Diamondbacks that's funny the Diamondbacks only have one hit this game game interestingly enough in this game the Cardinals have no hits if you can believe that we're on a short break right now because there's a pitching change if any of you are wondering what's going on there's no update right now Tucker has been hit by a pitch on the foot had a walk and a strikeout so far this game he likely only has about two more at bats left unless the Astros get some more hits they get some more more hits he might bat three more times so he still has a chance to get a couple of hits or at least one hit friend of mine messaged me he's he's determined to make political points to me that I don't really care about all right guys we are back John Singleton is at the plate one for two with a single single MC Singleton he tried to be Homer MC homerton with a drive lasted B but it went foul speaking of foul the very first pitch from Joe manly if that's how you say his name is fouled away over on the left side of the plate little Tapper strike one Joe mantile or mantiply mantiply here comes the next pitch that one hit down the right side first baseman grabs it and walks over and steps on first easy out and that will send the Astros back on defense it's the end of the inning so ground out MCG Granderson ends the inning for the Astros but the Astros do get three thank goodness and we have another break framber will be back on the mound in just a moment with 71 pitches so far just one hit and he's got a shutout going Joe mantile with the Diamond Backs I would guess that he will probably be pitching again in the next inning so I'm going to go ahead and get his picture and update it on the screen where do these strange names come from that's what I want to know and now suddenly my audio is not working for the game of course it isn't something wrong with the MLB site today it's it's been glitching the the sound has been glitching the the video has been glitching it hasn't been running smoothly I'm not quite sure what's going on and now the sound is working again suddenly okay got the pictures updated just in time wow from valz and you you say Kikuchi combined so far are 9 and one with a 2.19 erra that's great all right guys KD Marte is at the plate first pitch is a little low and inside for ball one he grounded out and then grounded into a fielder's Choice last couple of it bats one and0 is the count right now fber looking for the call he's got what he wants here comes the pitch swinging a Miss 93 just below the Zone good pitch got him biting that will even the count here come a one and one pitch from fber oo that was a nice pitch 95 miles hour on the lower inside corner strike two got him looking umpire said yeah that's in there swinging a Miss for strike three Marte runs around like he's going to run the first and then tries to avoid Diaz but Diaz finally tags him that was funny watch this he's like wh who I'm going to tag you what what what he's got you very nice that's hilarious part of the the fundraisers that they're doing they're actually selling dirt in a bottle from minute made park that's funny I think you could just sneak down there and get some for free right but it's not an official license the bottle first pitch is a ball so the count is 1 and0 to Corbin Carroll Carroll bunts it and that foul ball hits Yer Diaz and he is now in pain what is the deal with the catchers getting hurt man that one looked like it hit him on the leg it seems to have stung Diaz gets a moment to recover looks like he's ready to go now here comes the 1-1 pitch from Valdez that's a swing and a foul ball over on the opposite field side the third Baseline off into the crowd strike two long delay on that one one ball two strikes with one out no Runners on here in the top of the sixth here's the pitch from fber this one's bounced down the first Basel line just foul nice little scoop by Singleton but no play can be made we'll have another onew count pitch one ball two strikes one out Corbin Carroll at the plate fber Valdez on the mound here comes the pitch strike three got him looking beautiful pitch up and in Corbin Carol goes down looking he's shaking his head he knows that it's all on him he knew that was a strike yeah he just walked away immediately out number two that brings up Randall gritch goes after the first pitch bounces it to dub Bond who fires over to First and a terribly low throw but Singleton Scoops it out of the dirt for the out good play by Singleton on that one look at that but good catch out number three big smile on farber's face he's happy about that I would be too one hit ball for the Astros for framber got a shutout going through six Innings one hit Astros going to the the bottom of the the sixth Ben gaml gr slammington GL gam gaml slammington comes to the plate in just a moment followed by blast McCormack and Macio duol double Mauricio double double Mauricio double try to give all these guys nicknames that are related to hits singles doubles triples home run Grand Slams maybe it will give them some luck they'll be hitting the ball more often 19 people watching 18 likes Let me refresh refresh the screen is it going to be 20 no oh my gosh

need two more likes up up up up up what's this notification ah yeah there's been some debate about Spencer arag Getti after that terrible game the other day I just feel like people are throwing him into the bus saying oh no no he can't be in our our playoff rotation or he can't be in a in a World Series rotation or anything like that and there are even some people people talking about using Verlander instead I mean are you kidding me he was the the rookie player of the month or the pitcher of the month last month he had an amazing erra just had great success he has one game that was not all his fault Jeremy peña's error cost the Astros six runs Jordan Montgomery is now in the game so there's another pitching change and Jake Meyers is batting for gaml don't quite understand that move I would have brought McCormick in for uh I mean Myers in for McCormack that's a strike for the first pitch second Pitch is a little low ball one man why would you bring Meyers in and take out gaml why would you do that questionable this is a broken bat hit to right field and that's going to get down for a hit I mean I'm glad that Myers got the hit but I'm not going to go back on what I said I still don't understand why he was in for gaml gaml wasn't having a bad game but the broken bat single to right field gives the Astros yet another leadoff base runner so that's that's good but now we have Chaz McCormack coming up if Chaz gets a hit here it's all good but we'll see blast McCormack how he just tore that bat up look at that crushed not the ball that is just the bat flowed and a strike out from a corn make the very first pitch he fouls off 0 and one is the count Myers on first no outs here comes the pitch oh that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about right there 94 miles an hour in the dead center of the plate complete swing and miss this is the kind of pitch that you cannot miss as a batter can't miss that can't miss it 0 and two is the count here comes the pitch in the dirt ball one one and two Myers takes the lead at first here comes a one-w pitch to blast McCormick come on man blast off inside 94 milph mccor fouls it off Myers was trying to steal second he's going to have to go back on that play unfortunately was that supposed to be a hit and run or did McCormack not get the memo that was a good Jump by Myers looks like he could have made that one if that ball had gotten by that was a ball anyway MC cormi could have taken it one and two here comes the pitch from Montgomery I'll change his picture if I can this one's grounded to third but that's going to be off his foot actually that's a foul ball Jordan Mont gy try to save his picture here real quick next pitch to Chaz McCormack coming in just a moment one and two pitch here comes a pitch that's in the dirt catcher is able to contain it Myers cannot Advance count remains two and two actually Oh I thought it was still one and two oh that's right never mind I'm trying to do several things at the same time and I'm getting lost I'm trying to update the pitcher information on the screen but the counts two and two with that ball in the dirt Montgomery throws over to First Myers is back easily I will try to take this opportunity to change the pitcher's name and picture on the screen for you guys here comes the two two pitch that one's hit pretty far over into right field high but that's going to be catchable by Corbin Carroll he gets it right by the line that's going to be out number two or out number one rather almost dropped in there but Carol with the speed is able to put it away for out number one oh I need to make that a little smaller or move farber's name over mace duon comes up he's two for two oh Meyers is safe at second oh my gosh Myers was picked off at first base but he booked it to Second and they threw over there but he was not able to get there on time the coach for the diamondb is on the the horn to try to figure out if they might have a challenge there but look how close that was wow that was not a bad play at all mccormic just decided to sell out he got picked off he was dead to rights but the throw to Second was just a little little too slow now dubon hits it to the right side looks like he's going to be safe at first he is he Dives in at first base the Astros are working their butts off right now to make things happen guys as dubon gets a hit to the right side look how dubon Dives in to make this play at first to be safe how do you like that Astros really scrapping right now with Runners on the corners man what a play by dubon what a hustle that's going to be the third hit of the game for dubon two singles and a double look at this hustle look at that man Jose Altuve comes up with Runners on the corners guys a double a single and a run scored for Altuve so far this game first pitch is right in there taken for strike one 79 milph on that pitch oh that was a foul ball my bad I was updating the base pads I saw it was a strike but I didn't know he he swung at it but here's the 01 pitch ah another half swing on the outside corner it looks like he was just trying to go opposite field with it but he fouled it off that'll be strike two one out Runners on the corners 0 and two is the count against Jose Altuve altua with a single and a double here comes the next pitch that's in the dirt taking for ball one good eye by Altuve yordon on Deck just wanting another chance to come up here's the next pitch to Altuve he hits it hard to left field is it going to get down it is that's another base hit for Altuve Myers will will score easily dubon goes to Second Altuve with another hit and another RBI boom look at that nice strike by Altuve Runners on first and second that's my man right there that is my man dubon goes to Second Altuve to First and that brings up yordon again with two Runners on are we going to have a repeat we're going to have another three-run shot here comes the first pitch to yordon man that one's ripped hard but foul down the first Baseline strike one to yordon after that foul ball just one out two Runners on yordon with the home run his lasted bat here comes the 01 Pitch hit hard to center field is it gone it's gone I kid you not another three-run Homer by yordon Alvarez to center field guys he hits a line drive shot a fireball to center field right over the fence how do you like that the second home run for yordon his second three-run shot of the game 11.8 miles an hour over the center field fence 420 ft the Astros are up8 to nothing 12 hits now now in this game as yordon crosses the plate man this is what this is Astros baseball right here scrap to get on base and then yordon clears the bases that's what I'm talking about gner Diaz is now at the plate he takes the first pitch outside for ball one what can you say what a completely opposite game today compared to what we saw in Cincinnati holy cow 0 one is the count versus Diaz a little outside pitch low but a swing in a Miss by Diaz another multi-home run game for yordon how many is that for him now 22 he's just three behind burkeman and and nine behind Bagwell for multi-home Run games that's amazing next pitch to yordon is I mean uh Diaz is a strike swinging a miss the one ball two strike pitch is in the dirt for ball two counts even two and two with one out man what a game just like that it's blown open Astros with seven runs in two innings here comes the the next pitch that's hit down the line wow just barely foul almost an extra base hit there for Diaz nice swing right down the line just a little too far out of Play Here Comes the 2-2 pitch 23rd pitch for Montgomery that one's inside ball three full count Meyers and dubon working so hard to get on and move around the bases then yordon cleaning it up Altuve with a big hit it's just been great that was not a great swing there 94 miles an hour to yanner Diaz he takes a whiff at it it's not able to make contact that'll be strike three and out number two so he goes down swinging but at least he didn't take a strike but it looked very hitable that's funny yordon hit it into the bullpen the Astros Bullpen out there and he's pointing the to the pitchers they're cheering they were cheering at him as he W round to the bases see there's hater out there they're all cheering at him look at yordon yordon give some love back that's great Kyle tuger at the plate first pitch to him is swinging a Miss strike one here's the 01 pitch wow that one was ripped hard inside 93 miles an hour ripped into the camera the camera pit for strike to man that was a dangerous hit 0 and2 to Kyle Tucker looking for his first hit of the game first hit being back with with the Astros in the lineup that's a ball low one ball two strikes one strike out one walk one hit by pitch for Tucker today here comes the pitch a little outside ball to good eye by Tucker eight to nothing Astros wow love it here comes the two2 pitch to Tucker that was low ball three Full Count Montgomery struggling a little bit this inning having to go to a lot of effort to get the outs giv up so many runs this will be the 30th pitch for Montgomery two outs nobody on Tucker with the Full Count here comes the pitch right down the middle and he hits it high in the center field and they kind of misplay it a little bit he kind of loses it in the rafters but finally makes the catch so Tucker goes down with a Fly ball out the first ball that he's really hit in play but you can see at the last moment he kind of misplays it but finally gets it that'll be it for the Astros but not before they score four awesome stuff we're going to go in the top of the seventh Astros leading eight to nothing with 12 hits Diamond Backs with one hit no runs let's take a look at the chat are we over 20 likes guys 22 likes that's what I'm talking about thank you so much I appreciate that that really helps it helps out my channel a lot so thank you very much I really do appreciate it 23 watching right now wherever you are in the world thank you for being here it's 1111 in the morning here in Hiroshima I'm calling the game from a small town in Hiroshima perfecture it's about an hour and a half drive from Hiroshima City I go to a Japanese language school here fulltime that's uh my main thing that I have to do I have a student visa I do part-time English teaching online and I call Astros games which I started less than two months ago I hope the channel can grow to a point that it's sustainable I can keep doing it and uh keep enjoying it it's been nice it's been really nice to do this Charles says stros alive crazy how they go dormant then go bananas with the bats at home awesome to have Tucker back got some K got some Kyle Tucker yeah that's the thing that that gets me about the Astros all they needed to do was score just two runs to win the game yesterday and they couldn't even manage one to tie it and then today fber is pitching a perfect game and they have eight on the board before the game is even over they get seven in two innings it's absolutely nuts just like you said how they can go from one extreme to the other just doesn't make sense especially against teams that are better this team is clearly better than the Reds and yet the Astros are dominating their pitchers right now it's crazy Christian Walker comes to the plate to face fber Valdez here in the top of the seventh Chaz moves over to right field Jake Meers will be in Center yordon Alvarez stays in the game and left field wicom is now over on third base first pitch is fouled Away by Christian Walker for strike one 92 miles hour on that pitch 0 and one is the count Here Comes an next pitch from fber is 83rd of the game 94 low and down low and down yeah it's both low and down just like being up and high right low and inside ball one one and one here comes the one and one pitch that one's also low 78 mil an hour misses the Zone by a couple of inches that'll be ball too fber takes a moment to back off the mound and grab the Rosen bag two balls one strike to the leadoff batter Christian Walker here comes the next pitch he fouls that one back crowd is very Lively right now man this is a totally different atmosphere than what we saw in Cincinnati two balls and two strikes to Walker with that foul off man the crowd is still loud right now now two balls two strikes here comes the 22 pitch to Christian Walker that one's in the dirt breaking ball ball three count is full I wonder why they pulled Mauricio dubon out of the game he was having such a great game I wonder if he hurt himself a little bit sliding into first base well that's going to be a leadoff walk with a wild pitch in the dirt by Valdez Diaz is going to have to run to the back and Chase it as it bounces off to the side he's I got a rush over there and get that Walker walks to first so Walker has walked twice he lives up to his name here comes the next pitch 88 miles an hour little high ball one uuo uino Suarez Suarez ready to take the next pitch a little inside ball two too many balls now by framber he's about to throw his 90th pitch he might not be in the game for much longer if he doesn't get his control back here comes the pitch he quickly hurries to the mound and steps off the mound and does a fake throw to reset the clock that was funny now he's back on the mound ready to deliver the pitch he gets that one I got to show this to you you got to see this look watch this he's like whip he just wanted to reset the clock real quick that was funny three balls no strikes that one was out of the Zone next pitch is actually in there for strike one three ball in one strike as fber threatens to walk another Runner here another batter here comes a 3-1 pitch that one's in there swing and foul ball Full Count three straight balls and then two strikes Seattle is leading their game at the moment that one's in the in the middle of the plate and it's hit right up the middle line drive yeah uh Jake Meyers plays it on a hop two Runners on now with no outs this might be the beginning of the end for Valdez Josh Miller the the coat for the Astros is gonna take a little stroll out to the mound and have a mini meeting with Diaz framber Singleton and paa Mariners are winning three to nothing over the Cardinals the angels are beating the Rangers 5 to one guys in the top of the ninth how do you like that little meeting on the mound a little chitchat Hector nerys is warming up in the bullpen for the Astros at the moment glad to see somebody warming up there Jake McCarthy at the plate with Runners on first and second no outs here's the first pitch he hits that one straight up on the very first pitch playable by Jeremy Peña who puts it away no problem out number one easy Fly ball to the infield good result in the very first pitch of that at bat Kevin Newman comes to the plate here's the first pitch to him wow that one just barely clipped the lower corner of the Zone strike one Newman 0 for two today here comes the next pitch he grounds that one to Peña Peña to Altuve Altuve to First double play that's what I'm talking about right there fber with a big smile on his face about that one he has to be happy he got through seven innings excellent double play by pñ on Altuve to get them out of the inning good job there guys good job fber Valdez gets up to around what 100 pitches that you know for the game in that inning we probably will not see him in the eighth that's likely the last of Valdez but he has a two hit no run shut out going going the Astros up 8 to nothing over the Arizona Diamondbacks going into the bottom of the seventh the Astros have another opportunity to tack on some runs Jeremy Peña John Singleton and Jake Meers do up take him out now sweet Richard yeah I I think Now's the Time he he luckily got that ground ball and you with that fly out and the ground ball double play he got lucky he got lucky I mean he's got skill obviously but he was starting to lose control so he kind of got lucky there at the end with that thankfully that's it he got through it man I kind of want something else to drink but I'm not sure that I third cup of coffee is on my agenda this morning it's now 11:20 in the morning I don't know where you guys and gals are but wherever you are thanks for being here got about 25 people watching right now up to 24 likes I appreciate that very very much my goal currently is around 20 at least 20 likes on the video so I do appreciate you helping me get to that Mark Jeremy Peña is at the plate Jordan Montgomery still on the mound actually for the Diamond Backs Peña fouls that one off way off into the right field stands not a bad piece of contact there but just foul pushing it out there really close to the Home Run pole in right field strike one here comes the 01 pitch that one's High 91 miles an hour ball one the Astros win this one this will be their 40th at home win of 2024 payy hits this one pretty hard but it's going to be playable I think to center field it is yeah maybe about 10t or so before the warning track center fielder puts it away no problem that'll be out number one as paa flies out brings up John Singleton Singleton is one for three with a single he has been driving the ball pretty hard here comes the the first pitch to him Montgomery's 34th pitch of the game right in the middle of the plate 8 86 M an hour how do you not hit that one I think that was well within Singleton's ability to hit pretty sure he could have hit that one man that one's right down the middle again 80 miles an hour strike two man 0 and two is the count here's the pitch that one's in the dirt ball one one ball two strikes with one out no Runners on eight to nothing here comes a one and two pitch that one's hit to the right side second baseman Dives for it bobbles it and then fires the first no problem he's able to put Singleton away even with the Bobble on the recovery nice play little dive little Bobble little toss and out number two that brings up Jake Meyers Myers who had a broken bat single his first at bat in the game takes this first pitch in the dirt for ball one 94 miles an hour really good hustle on the part of Meyers and duban last inning to get on base and then move around the bases that's going to be in there for a strike one in one is a count against Myers Myer swings at the next pitch high in the zone 93 mph fouls that one away over on the right side I've got so much homework to do today it's not even funny Myers asks for time out steps out of the box for a moment to take a breather I think I want to get my preview screen adjust it a little better next pitch to Meyers is fouled off again again no it it's going to be down the third Baseline Suarez throws the first base and gets him for the third out that's going to be it for the Astros we're going to go in the top of the eighth Astros leading eight to nothing uneventful inning there for the Astros Altuve Double Down Play Good end to the to the Valdez tonight yeah it is a double play it's fitting that Valdez will get a double play to head out of the game right it makes sense there's no telling how many double plays he has I've got a lot of homework to do do today and how many lessons do I have I've got multiple lessons to do today it is Saturday for me that means that I've got so many lessons I've got one two three four five six seven I've got some open spots that I need to close I've got one open spot I'm going to close that I've got enough lessons to do seven lessons is more than enough for today oh I haven't inputed my schedule for tomorrow what time do the Astros play tomorrow that is a good question let's see I think it's about the same time as today I believe let's take a look oh no no no no tomorrow's game is really early for me it's 510 in the morning 510 in the morning wow yeah I got to get up early for that one I got to get up at 4:30 to do that game so maybe I can start teaching around 1 o00 I can have lunch then start teaching around 1:00 yep that's what I'll do or maybe should I do later it's difficult to say very first pitch from Hector nerys is skyed way up by Pomo Pena is underneath it and he puts it away for out number one good start for nerys with a Fly ball to the infield that'll bring up Adrien del Castillo who came in after their catcher got hit in the head by Tucker's back swing here comes the first pitch 91 that's in there for strike for a strike 0 and one is the count my preview is much faster than it was before next pitch is a little high that'll be ball one one ball one strike one out Castillo swings at that one that was a nice curveball by nerys strike two one and two it comes a one and two pitch from nerys this one's really high out to right field it looks like it's going to be too high and it'll stay in the park Jason Hayward is in the game and he will manage to finally put it away right at the warning track after skating around round and pedaling and back pedaling out number two that brings up Kettle Marte Astros game tomorrow probably should wrap up around 8:30 for me in the morning 9:30 10:30 11:30 12:30 that'll give me several hours to work on home I mean yeah home work first pitch to Marte is in there for a strike old one is the count that one's in the dirt second Pitch ball one one in one I think I can start teaching at 1:30 I'll do that I'll do 1:30 well maybe just I'll do two I'll do two next pitches fouled back for strike two one and two is the count trying to work out my teaching schedule for tomorrow I realized that I hadn't updated it that next pitch is not a bad pitch but he doesn't go just a little low and outside he didn't bite two and two is the count to Marte little bouncer down the first Bas line on that one count remains two and two top of the eighth inning guys Astros just a few out outs away from wrapping this up and getting a shut out here's the two two pitch to Marte oh a check swing did he go oh they didn't even ask the Umpire on the third base side I feel like they should have asked about that they didn't that' be a Full Count here comes the pitch from nerys that one's right on the outside corner oh my gosh they don't call it wow the crowd booze that was right on the corner of the Zone how could you not get that so with two outs nerys does not get the call so they'll have a runner on first Corbin Carroll comes to the plate he has been cold this game despite being hot recently over three today two strikeouts and a ground out they're going to bring Marte off the bases with a pinch Runner first pitch to Carol is fouled away strike one here comes the next pitch this one's hit to left field is it going to be playable it is blast McCormack takes it for no problem that'll be the third out it's looking like Corbin Carroll is going to break break his 17 game on base streak it's either is it a hit streak or it's it it's on base streak 17 games in a row it looks like he's not going to be able to get his 18th this is going to break his streak so basically the hottest player on the Diamond Backs right now is over four in this game that's great glad to see that the Astros can give him a nice gift like that all things all good things must come to an end my son it is the way of things let's see all right yeah I've got a class tomorrow night at 8 o'clock so I want to have a little break there all right I'm going to update my schedule but then I need to make some changes for Monday Monday Monday that's strange why didn't I have uh H that's just weird that's weird guys I didn't have uh I'm looking at my class schedules I have to input my own schedule I get to make my own schedule basically but the thing about that is you need to you need to get as many classes as you can right but at the same time I need to balance the time so that I can get my homework G in my study in the mornings Monday through Friday I have classes so I can't do anything in the morning except for we go to school on the weekends it's a little different blast McCormack Chaz blast McCormick comes to the plate takes the first pitch for ball one Jordan Montgomery still on the mound next pitch is low but a swinging Miss by blast blast McCormick one one strike here comes the next pitch ooh that was a good pitch to be hitting and McCormick could not pull it off 80 M an hour in the low part of the Zone man come on McCormick 0 for three tonight you can do something here just for fun come on here's the pitch he hits that one down the line almost a hit that's a little better straighten out just a little bit one ball two strikes mccor M the lead off batter this inning looks like Shay whitcom is on Deck here comes the next pitch to McCormack another swing and Miss strike out not surprising that seems to be McCormack's go-to move swing and Miss if McCormack were a an an anim character his secret move would be called the swing a Miss I'll show you my final form strike out form Jutsu Shay witcom is at the plate here's the first pitch this is his first bat at the in the game first at bat of the game since coming in at third takes that one for a strike o and one here comes the pitch from Montgomery that one's in the dirt bounces to the back evens the count one and one one ball one strike one out here's the pitch whitcom swings at that one and misses 84 miles hour on the outside corner one ball two strikes see if we got anything going in the chat is Japanese a tonal or phonetic language uh hang on one second Shay whitcom hits it in the left field that's a line drive but that's going to be playable out number two nice bat on the ball just not in a good spot that'll bring up Jose Altuve altuve's had a great game is batting average has moved back up a little bit he's sitting at 297 three hits this game for Altuve Jason Hayward on Deck Altuve takes the first pitch in the dirt ball one okay um one ball no strikes to Altuve no Runners on here's the next pitch little outside and low ball two good I Altuve right now um just to answer your question uh Richard it's it's a more fonetic language is not tonal here comes the next picture P dotu it's in the dirt ball three three and0 they're not wanting to pitch do tuve right now I can't blame him he's been hot this game he's three for four he's been the man three no pitch Altuve on the way that's in there for a strike a little low went outside but altu they looked like he was taking it all the way can't blame him you might as well be swinging away right here you got an eight-run lead just try to blast one out attack another one on the board and Pad your stats wow just Buri L the outside corner ball four man that was close could have gone either way surprised he didn't swing at that one so the Astros have Altuve on first he gets a walk Jason Hayward comes to the plate his first did bad of the game bat 204 with 30 RB and six home runs here's the first pitch to him right in the middle of the plate and he completely misses that one 82 mil an hour man strike one here comes the 0 and one pitch this one's fouled off on the inside corner 93 milph strike too I'm really hoping that Hayward can kind of shake off the cobwebs and start getting some hits here comes the 02 pitch to Hayward this one's bounced down the first Baseline foul we'll have another 02 count pitch here comes the O2 pitch Hayward takes that one outside it rolls around in the dirt now um Altuve does not Advance next pitch will be the 60th one of the game for Montgomery one and two is on on the way ah swinging a Miss on a terrible pitch almost in the dirt that was a lousy swing by Hayward terrible at that very disappointing strands Altuve on first base so we can take Altuve back off the base and we're going into the top of the ninth guys Astro's three outs away from putting this one in the bag got a shutout going through eight Innings with just two hits the Astros on the other hand have eight runs on 12 hits no errors for either team go Altuve yeah well at least he got a walk I mean Altuve had a great game three hits a walk that's awesome what do we have going here on the channel 24 likes got about 26 people following right now it's been a good game for all of us Astro fans right this is a nice I guess you could say a nice change of events from yesterday's game yes and the last series overall the Astros really needed a bounceback victory like this give us a little bit of a good vibes see if I can get that centered a little B better there we go that's better I don't know why it got so far off is Hector Nera still in the game surely not they've still got him on the mound on the screen it changed back to fromal I know that's not right Hernandez Nick Hernandez guys is on the mound first appearance since June 21st wow I don't even have his picture yet got to save it he went to high school in Dallas that's interesting first pitch is a strike nice pitch he's facing Randle gritch here comes the 01 pitch to gritch this one's hit a little soft fly to center field Myers comes in quickly gets underneath it and puts it away no problem that'll be out number one good start to the ninth inning where is his oh did I save his picture in the wrong spot I think I did I think I saved his picture in the wrong folder strike one another nice pitch there delivered to pavin Smith who is pinch hitting for Christian Walker another pitch in there on the outside corner 83 mil an hour good pitch by Hernandez here comes the next pitch little far outside for a ball one not a bad pitch just a little too far out I think to get him swinging yeah I accidentally saved his picture in the wrong folder by the time I get his picture on the screen the game will be over two and two is the count strike three on the outside Corner that was a little low on outside but the Umpire said you know what I want to go home soon so he calls it strike three two outs now no Runners on we are about to be out of this game before I can get Hernandez's picture on the screen boom well I got his picture updated what about his name can I get his name updated before the game is over we'll try boom it's on the screen first pitch next batter is a strike who's the batter though boom there we go these names are too long for the [Laughter] screen next pitch is just a little outside Eugenio uh eugeno Suarez is at the plate one ball one strike H coffee grounds in the bottom my cup oh my gosh one and one here's the pitch this one says High into right field long run over for Hayward and he makes the nice sliding catch long way over look at that nice catch by Hayward out in right field and that does it out number three Nick Hernandez does a great job for the Astros to come in in the ninth inning and get those last three outs and what a great catch by Hayward to end it look at this nice sliding catch after a long run this is the kind of Astros game that I like to see because the hitting was good the pitching was great well the the hitting was great the pitching was great the defense was great and the Astros worked their butts off to get on base and to move around the bases you couldn't ask for anything more from your team to just show so much care and desire to win that the Astro showed in this first game against the Diamondbacks at home you know they just lost a series versus the Reds it would have been very easy to be demotivated and you're back at home to maybe maybe have some some Road fatigue a little lethargic but they were able to do it my poll about Tucker I'll go ahead and end the poll we'll Tucker get a hit this game the poll results probably not those of you who said probably not yet you were right Tucker did get hit by pitch and a walk but the closest he got to actually getting a hit apart from getting hit was his fly out uh his shallow fly out to center field the Astros win this game8 to nothing and I'm going to give you guys a really quick recap and then I've got to get to my homework let's take a quick look at what the Astros did today great game from brav Valdez went seven complete Innings gave up just two hits and no runs complete shutout for the Astros today and Valdez 14 and six now his erra for this game was Zero just three walks seven strikeouts in the bottom of the second dubon single to left scoring gaml one to nothing Astros in the bottom of the fifth yordon Alvarez hit a three-run homer to right field 407 ft scoring dubon and Altuve four to nothing Astros Altuve single to left field in the bottom of the sixth scoring Meyers five to nothing Astros just after that Alvarez came up and hit another three-run Homer 420 ft scoring dubon and Altuve again making it 8 to nothing Astros and that's where the game would wound up closing at 8 to nothing Astros Astros um improve their record and that is their 40th win at home I think they are 40 and 29 at home this season a huge improvement over their home performance last year so that is is a great news for the Astros to be winning at home again they completely put that to rest the question of whether or not the Astros could win at home it is a distant memory guys who who else is worth mentioning this game besides farber's excellent pitching performance through seven and the Astros excellent batting performance and their tremendous hustle and defense what about the relievers we had Hector nerys come in in the eighth inning and Nick Hernandez say in the ninth inning nerys uh did he had one walk but no hits gave up no runs very important Nick Hernandez came in three up and three down guys with a great catch by Jason Hayward and rightfield to end the inning and in the game excellent performance by our relievers in the eighth and ninth inning uh quick look around the league it looks like the Mariners are going to pull out their win against the Cardinals it's in the top of the N right now and they're leading 5 to one most likely that game is in the bag for the Mariners so the current lead that the Astros have over the Mariners is likely going to remain the angels beat the Rangers 5 to one so that's cool Rangers continue to fall further and further behind but uh let's take a look a quick look at get the standings and I'll let you know what's going on there I wonder if I can pull it up on this screen actually I can I can bring it down to my other screen so you guys can kind of see it here we go AO West right here Astros in first but now I can't see it it's too small on this screen and I don't have my glasses on but the Astros are 76 is that right and 65 it says right now they are five games ahead and technically they are because the Mariners game is not over yet but when the Mariners win in just a few minutes which they likely will this is going to change back to four and a half games so I'm just going to say that the Astros continue to remain four and a half games ahead of the Mariners for now and that's where they stand uh the game tomorrow for the Astros game two versus the Diamond Backs in minute mate Park this game is going to start a little bit earlier about three 3 4 hours earlier 4 hours earlier than today I'm going to have to get up at about 4:30 in the morning to call this game but I will be here tomorrow so no worries and it looks like you say Kikuchi is going to be back on the mound tomorrow looking forward to that he'll be facing Eduardo Rodriguez uh Rodriguez erra his ra is not Stellar it's uh 5.3 is that right I'm going to have to open up another screen on my big screen to see this I don't have my glasses on right now so I can't see the small type my laptop screen is very small so I have to open it up on my big screen so that I can read it properly paste and go okay I can read that much better Rodriguez's ra is 5.33 he's two in one in 25 Innings he's given up 28 hits so he's given up more hits than innings than he's pitched Innings seven walks and four home runs so out of 25 Innings he's allowed 35 Runners to get on for those being homers Kikuchi has been pitching extremely well every game he's pitched for the Astros he's won so looking forward to him having another great performance tomorrow tomorrow's game is another opportunity for the Astros to hit the ball really well Kachi to keep the runs down and them to get a second win in the series so let's look forward to that yordon Alvarez is now leading the Astros in all three categories home runs batting average and you can see it right here and not only that but also runs batted in so he's batting 309 he's got over 30 home runs now this information actually hasn't updated since he had two home runs today he should be at 32 I think and my system is trying to update and his batting average should be over 309 because that's where it was when the game started and 73 RBIs but that should be 79 because he has six more RBIs today yordon just really killing it right now he's coming on strong he's been coming on strong for the past couple of months really pouring it on just when the Astros need it Astros have a 51.4% chance of winning tomorrow according to the matchup pred predictor on ESPN but that's all that information let's check the chat before I head out of here uh Pam says thanks for streaming I need to get some sleep see you tomorrow Pam rest well recover well and look forward to seeing you tomorrow
