A’s @ Astros, July 17, 2022

Peña did very well there!

B5:

Maldonado flies out F7
Altuve grounds to SS, Andrus can’t stab it on a play to his left, should be ruled an infield single, as he probably couldn’t have gotten Altuve anyway.
Peña homers to LF, Altuve scores…finally someone hammered that hanging slider

And that’s all for Oller

B5:

Moll in for the A’s

Tucker…full up…grounds out 4-3
Bregman pops out F2

3-0 Astros

Man, way to absolutely fuck yourself there, Jake.

Ugh.

How can you possibly call that a hit?!

He should’ve made the initial play, and if he doesn’t totally boof the throw he’s still out at first?

That is absolutely fucking idiotic.

T6:

Machin lines out to CF on a nice play by Meyers coming straight in
Laureano crushes a home run to deep LCF
Murphy lines a single to RF
Brown chops up the middle, Odorizzi knocks it down instead of letting it go to Peña for the easy double play, picks it up and throws wild to 1B. TE1 as Murphy goes to 3B

And that’s all for Odorizzi.

Well fuck, Meyers just reinjured his shoulder.

Jesus Fucking Christ this team is so bad in the field right now.

That catch really needs to be made.

T6:

Stanek in, runners on the corners one out

Pinder lines to CF, Jake’s comes in and boxes it…E8…Murphy scores, Brown to 3B, Pinder to 2B

Defense has just gone to shit, as Meyers pulls up lame. Trainer and Dusty out.

I’ll even let you pick which one you’re talking about of the last 2.

Both of those plays are fucking brutal.

Meyers will stay in.

Odorrizi is a hell of a pitcher for 5 innings and 2× through the lineup

Scored a double

What an absolute shit sandwich of defense this entire inning.

If Diaz gets anything behind that throw he gets Brown at home, too. Instead it was a 4 hopper.

What the fuck are we doing here, guys?

This is fucking awful.

He had to crouch to get to it.

Only hit the deck after it clanged.

Should be an error IMO.

This inning went fucking tits-up in a hurry

T6:

Vogt, pinch hitting for Garcia…flies out F7, Brown scores, and we’re tied
Andrus…0-2…1-2…foul…2-2…3-2…walks on a wild pitch as Pinder to 3B
Piscotty lines out to 2B

Inning over, but the Astros defense curb stomps their dick and both balls.

New ball game.
