2020 ALDS Game 4, A's @ Astros, October 8, 2020

Fitting end to their season

Strom to the mound

Davis takes a slider 0-1, misses a slider 0-2, lays off one in the dirt, FB just low/away 2-2, curve misses 3-2, Ks looking at a FB at the knees!!

Astros win the game 11-6
Astros win the series 3-1

The Houston Astros advance to their 4th consecutive ALCS.

Astros fans, we are truly blessed.

Maybe you can just, like, flick a switch when the playoffs start.

But FUCK YOU MIKE FIERS YOU GUTLESS PIECE OF SHIT!!,

Amazing offense this series, haven’t seen this sort of hitting in awhile. Will be interested in what Greinke says.

The pitch to Davis was a strike.

If Greinke had gotten the call on his last 3-2, he would have been the WP.

I tell you what, it’s going to take a miracle for a team as injury riddled as the Astros to get by the Rays, but fuck it, let’s line 'em up and see what happens.

I hope Fiers heard the trash cans banging.

He heard the trash cans banging, each to each. He did not think they banged for him.

I do not care what the score is, do not let the opponents have the next base. Semien should have been at first, not third on La Stella’s infield hit.

Is the next series five or seven, and in how many days?

(I’ve been avoiding even thinking about this)

On behalf of Astros fans everywhere, I’d like to thank the fans of Los Angeles (never seen them so into the game), the crew at Dodger Stadium, and the Dodgers themselves for being such wonderful hosts.

Celebrating on that field and in that lockeroom is certainly special.

LA LA Land, your Champions thank you.

They at least stay for the whole game these days.

I’m proud as hell of them for getting this far after the regular season they had.

Best of 7 in 7 days. No off days.

Thanks. New challenges for this team to overcome.

They have a couple days off now. ALCS starts Sunday. Gotta get rested up. It’s a grind.

It just occurred to me that all this time Fiers has been in the bullpen with a Minor. That just seems… wrong.
