 Evaldi escaped a bases loaded no-out jam with some beautiful pitching in this ALCS game in the bottom of the fifth inning this breakdown is brought to you by seat geek Brantley's gonna start the ending off for the Astros 3-2 pitch puts it in play gets a single because that's just what he does That's what you do, baby That's what you do. Yep. Breakman knows he's hit man. Okay next up We got a base hit right up the middle on a 1-1 pitch So runners on first runners on second. They're getting excited pain. Yeah pain. Yeah pain Yeah, pain you steps up. He puts the ball in play and He'd been so good at third base a lot of plays at third base, but now they're in a jam. Yeah So now Evaldi's gonna get to work to escape this jam and he's changing his pitches and his location Constantly they can't get comfortable. He's going watch this He goes outside with a little cutter slider and then inside with a fastball So outside inside soft hard, then he's gonna go outside with the split finger fastball So it's a secondary pitch and then he goes outside again with the real fastball Really good pitching there. I love that double up and then up top for the fastball to two and Now curveball outside gets the strike. Oh And watch how much that final pitch plays off the fastball he threw on the outside earlier Just riding that same line one stay straight. You can see why he has to protect the other drops Okay, how to vey comes up. This is my favorite sequence. He did he goes Inside big curveball 79 miles per hour slow inside gets called strike one So off of that. He's gonna go hard outside fastball outside Altuve fouls it back now He's in the driver's seat. He's oh to now. He's gonna set up the next pitch So he's gonna double up the fastball, but go way high and in now I don't know if he wanted to go that high, but he went soft inside hard away hard inside What's he gonna go next? Splitter away nasty pitch Altuve sits down another strikeout fans are getting nervous They're getting nervous not the Rangers kids. That's a splitter to the grip there splitter So what that does is it kind of just tumbles out of his hand? It's really a it's really a version of a change up. They'll call it a split change but it's gonna tumble have some downwards movement on it and It plays off his fastball Really well. This is one of my favorite overlays. I've stumbled into in a while and you can see how devastating that is That's crazy. Look at the arm action the delivery the release point all the same and Then they're riding that same line for so long and one just dips Really nice pitching by of Aldi, okay Still has one out to go bases loaded Braggman's up fastball inside. So then they go fastball outside That's all they needed Third baseman says I got this one. I won't mess it up of Aldi is fired up This guy is not not fired up But if Aldi he is fired up got out of the jam this breakdown was brought to you by seat geek use code John boy at seat geek for $20 off your first purchase go see a game enjoy the pitching inside outside fast soft Fast inside soft inside.
