2020 ALDS Game 1, Astros at A's, October 5, 2020

BOOM! Astros WIN!

That’s the thing. I really have no desire to. I imagine I feel like a recovered alcoholic. I pass by guitar shops and think God damn I used to spend a lot of money in those places.

Yep. Good outing by Taylor too. He gave up the unearned run, didn’t deserve it.

The entire bullpen stepped up.

Doubled the A’s in hits and runs. Hope the offense picks up tomorrow where it left off.

And Pressly didn’t throw a ton of pitches.

I remember listening to the commentary track on Bull Durham. Ron Shelton, the writer/director, was doing it. He mentioned specifically having a scene that shows a foul pop up to Crash simply because “you never get to see that in a movie.” Just remembered that.

That was still McCullers runner though courtesy of an ill advised attempt by Bregman

True. It was an inherited runner. That inning could have gotten away from them, but he did a nice job cleaning it up.

Paredes deserves a fucking beer!
