    He completely candyassed that pickoff throw to 3rd. Then he flipped up a pitch inside on 2-2 that if it was 3 inches closer to the plate it would still be orbiting MMP.

    Glad he beared down and got out of it! Here come the Astros....

    eta: this would be a great time for Bregman to do Bregman things

    How about Altuve scraping the ball to the gap between short and third?

    That's a professional AB, Alex. Well done.

    Shorten up and Stroke it. Great job, Bregs!

    Oh damn, that 1-0 pitch to Brantley needed to be punished.

    Altuve's hit counts as one with RISP. 6-45 now. This is getting seriously close to thinking about the Mendoza Line.

    Correa is a wizard when he's feeling right.

    eta: 0-1, 2 outs, guy on 3B, threw it right down the middle. Oops.

    Great AB, Kemp.

    We got a hit wRISP, but didn't score. At least it didn't happen due to being thrown out at the plate.

    Gotten some RISP hits today but 2 of those hits didn't produce runs. Thought that would be the breakout inning.

    7-48 RISP

    Stros are not allowed to score more than 1 run in an inning, it's happened twice in 67 innings (Springer 3 R HR and Brantley 2 RBI 2B)
