| this is picture suggests way more shirt than he was actually wearing at any point |
The Houston batters laid off Kevin Gausman's splitter so thoroughly, and ripped his fastball so extensively, that I cannot have been alone in wondering if maybe the Astros had something on him? It wouldn't be the first time! For either party! Gausman had been great to start the year, but a seven-run first meant this one was pretty much over from the gecko, as they say, although there was a moment a little later with a couple runners on and Vladdy at the plate where I caught myself thinking "you know, if Vladdy gets ahold of one here . . ." but alas he did not. The only joy to be found on this night was in Matt Chapman's home run, and in the almost preternatural shirtlessness of Houston slugger José Abreu: no doubt rightly proud of his fairly magnificent physique, Abreu wears no undershirt, and leaves his jersey more unbuttoned than buttoned, I think, if you counted (it's gotta be close, at least). Honestly I love it, and I feel like more of the guys should just let if fly out there, should they desire it.
