I've never heard of a hanging fastball. I don't think that's good.

Been 4 hard hit balls. EV of 98.8, 106.3, 99.1 and 107.8.
ETA that was 101.5. Greinke better hit his spots or he's going to get whacked.

Ump isn't giving him anything on the edge. Entire ball has to basically be over the plate. That's not a good recipe for Greinke's soft stuff.Mr.Bond said:
Cmon ZG.....
ZG not missing any bat's... That for sure
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
Jesus Greinke
Really tight zone. Let's see if it stays that way
Mariners may get trade offers for Seager if he keeps this up
Greinke serving up 88 MPH batting practice.

He's gotten some pretty easy pitches to hit in this series. As has Lewis. Lot of stuff up over the plate.
Greinke is gonna go 6 IP with 2 runs ... gotta settle in next inning
3rd walk of the year for Altuve already

As long as it's a small zone for our hitters, I'm ok with that. Wish George would have watched a few pitches there to get an idea of what the ump was going to do.
Kikuchi has thrown 5 pitches and all 5 have been harder than anything Greinke has thrown.
Now I get why Lance started before Greinke
7nine
Brantley missed several meatballs
Seattle outfield still terrible --- we'll take the run
For the most part, zone was at least consistent. Springer just swung at the first pitch and Uncle Mike got fooled.
Good to get a run at least.
Good to get a run at least.
Bad news bears on Seattle's outfield. Misplay/bobble so many balls
2nd game in a row that we run into an out.
Another drop by the Ms OF. But what was Bregman thinking.
TOOTBLAN. Not sure what Bregman was thinking there
Third out at third base.
Alex? WTH?
First or last out at 3rd....

Bregman was thinking it would be closer at the plate. If the catcher tried to swipe tag Altuve and misses him, Bregman is then easily at third. If he gets him, inning over anyway.
Kikuchi threw one non FB and that was the ball that tailed back in on Brantley. If he keeps that up he's going to get hit.
Astros seem a little unfocused here early on. Dusty will take care of that.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Come on blue.
Perfect example of why we need robot ump a right there. Batter squares to bunt and causes a missed strike call. It's not even really the ump's fault, just human nature.
Nice efficient inning there.
The pumped in crowd noise is still strange to me.
Just need to pitch around their 2 good hitters.
Ours is still better than some of the other places I've seen so far.Cromagnum said:

Our social justice warrioring is gone from the mound. That had to be a MLB edict.
Aaron Judge looking dude
