A’s @ Astros, August 12, 2022

He was the distant camera model for PBS’ Ted Williams “American Masters” profile, I trust their talent judgement

It just looks like he never turns his wrists over. I know that he must, but for some reason when I watch him I just don’t see it.

Tatis is on the second year of a 14-year, $340 million deal.

Tucker’s body looks like Williams, but I do not think his swing does.

As you wish.

Well, why not bring Pena home, too?

Post often, AstroJo, results matter

Alas.

But a great inning.

Good to see Pena swinging the bat well again too.

B5:

Pruitt in for the A’s

Peña…0-2…1-2…2-2…doubles off the LF wall, Diaz scores
Vázquez grounds out to bookend the inning

But the Astros rally, score six times after two out and nobody on base…lead 6-2

And he broke his wrist riding a motorcycle in the offseason. I’d be pretty damn furious with him too

These are the A’s, this is more like an exorcism

It may be against the agreement with the players’ association to do so, but if it isn’t I’d sure try to put language in contracts that voids them or greatly reduces their value if the player gets busted for PEDs.

Don’t shoot your wad just yet. Still four innings to play.

Shit I do not know. One of the baseball sites. It will be everywhere tomorrow.

Now would be a good time for a zero

For some reason I didn’t think they were paid if they were suspended. I may have made that up.
