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

And Bregman takes a 2-0 cookie, then takes one 2-1…works it full, and chops one deep in the hole at SS, takes his time from LF and throws out Bregman easily.

To the 8th…tied at 2

I assumed they had no shot at him. But it wasn’t even close.

I’m convinced they have a restrictor plate in his engine.

Not the first time he seems to have not been going flat out.

I find myself liking this team considerably less than I’ve liked previous teams.

Neris in for the 8th

Replay would solve that question

Seriously. He should’ve beaten that by 2 steps. I don’t understand.

Maldy would have

TK just said he was running 27.something feet per second, so was his break out of the box that bad?

A replay would have been nice

Another bloop single for Ruiz. He’ll be on 2B shortly

You are prescient

And Ruiz takes 2B and moves to 3B on Maldy’s second throwing error.

Maldy’s throws have been fucking horrific today, but Pena, fucking christ man, you’ve got to knock that ball down.

Both of them were Peña’s fault.

The throw was absolutely dogshit, but it went between Pena’s legs like a 2 hop ground ball.

Big punch out

Good job by Neris to get out of that.
