A’s @ Astros, August 29, 2020, Game 1

Those were three nice pitches by Lance. Hitter was over-matched.

Kalas didn’t even have time to go over how horrible Reddick has been in his career against Bassitt before he left the building.

B4:

Maldonado walks

Mayfield singles to RF, Maldonado to 2B

That’ll end the day for Bassit

Mayfield with a knock.

Is he gonna be the utility man next season?

Hopefully don’t need him and Toro both.

Trivino in for BoMel

Springer flies out F7

Altuve taking meatballs, hacking at slop…embarrassed on three pitches

God, Altuve looks like he’s never played the game before.

Brantley flies out F9 as Piscotty reaches over the top of the wall

Another promising inning ends with a thud.
