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

Astros has been chasing slop and taking strike 3 a lot today, too.

Bloop single, stolen base, TE2 and tying run at 3B with nobody out

Welp, almost certainly a tie game coming up.

If you can’t hit Oakland, you can’t hit.

And we’re tied.

Their scrub has sat down 13 of his last 14 Astros. With an over 5 ERA and really meh stuff.

God Mark Carlson is just fucking horrific.

Middle of six…2-2

Abreu’s swings are so painful to watch. His swing is literally all hands and arms, his hips are so fucking locked up.

End of six…2-2

That was 3 pitiful at bats right there.

For fuck’s sake, Stanek. Get it close to the fucking zone you hillbilly.

I don’t remember these persistent control issues with Stanek last year. Is this a new development or is my memory selective?

I thought we’d agreed he was a FloriBaman, not a hillbilly

More like 8 at bats.

Maldy with a 2-out single

Fuck’s sake, Altuve. That pitch fucking bounced.

Carlson giveth, Carlson taketh away.

Altuve works a walk…two on for Bregman…

How the fuck did Bregman not beat that out?! The guy fucking double clutched it in the hole!
