A’s @ Astros, 5/20/23: Altuve Strikes Back

Kemp and Aledmys both have north of 600 career games played, Laureano is at 400 and change.

But yesterday the tv guys were talking about how ridiculously young the A’s are.

End 2, Astros 2-0

Off PBP for a while

Laureano has the most games played with the A’s, as he’s played his entire Major League career with them. Maybe that’s what they mean.

Brown with six strikeouts through three. 2-0 Astros

Hard to believe that three years ago the A’s won the AL West.

That season doesn’t count

There is definitely an asterisk next to it.

Leadoff double, seeing eye grounder and it’s 2-1

Ok, they got one. Middle of four…2-1 Astros.

Just before Laureano’s GO, one of the A’s announcers shared “No one in baseball - no one - throws the slider faster than Hunter Brown.”

Did Julks buy contacts that only allow him to see bad pitches?

He’s just swinging at so much garbage. No idea why you’d ever throw him a strike.

B4:

McCormick with a 1-out double, but he’s stranded.

Still 2-1 Astros

Jesus Fuck Carlson, that pitch is 3 inches inside.

This schlub on the mound for the A’s has a 5.2something ERA.

Blue star on that one for the lil guy!

Outstanding!

Altuve got hops!

Offense has completely gone back to sleep.

Hope Brown can hold them at 1.

Sears threw 38 pitches in the first inning. He’s thrown 47 in the next four.
