A’s @ Astros, August 12, 2022

Can throw the fastball for a strike, they’re not gonna chase the splitter. Except Bolt.

That was odd. He strikes out Machin with three progressively lower sliders splitters where he precisely inches each pitch down, then is all over the place for the next two batters.

Didn’t realize Cleveland passed Minnesota in the standings.

Those were splitters

I think he’s safe.

But they really need to go frame by frame.

Way to move him Vazquez.

Let’s bring him home.

Why isn’t Mancini hitting here?

It’s Dusty. Who knows? Thankfully, Dubon got just enough of it.

Peña singles to LF…his third hit of the night
Peña swipes 2B…A’s challenging…never tagged him…should be confirmed…yep, stolen base
Vázquez…0-2…flies out F8, Peña to 3B
Dubón…infield in…0-2…foul…1-2…flies out F9, Peña scores…rather easily on a not really deep fly ball
Altuve lines out to 3B

To the 9th…Astros clinging to a 7-5 lead

He could be only a two month rental. No excuse for his benching

Meyers to CF is what I’d do.

Let’s get this clear: Mancini IS a two month rental. He won’t give us any hometown discount or anything.

Why would he stay if he’s not going to play regularly?

You’re up, Neris. How about three outs, zero drama?

And why would he want to stay and be the 26th man off the bench?
