A’s @ Astros, July 7, 2021

No doubter off the bat

Yeah, you may sneak a FB past Maldonado, but try it with Jose (in a FB count) and you may not get the same results.

It looked to me like the love child of a liner and a bloop single, with a couple of bounces thrown in. Toro was ready to go, but it was fielded shallow enough for the 3rd base coach’s stop to make sense. Looks like it worked out ok.

Yordan strikes out to end the inning. But we’ve played three…3-1 Astros

Off the bat I thought Correa got one.

If it was a grounder, he should have been running. It was to his left. If it was in the air, stepping back toward second until it went through was the right thing.

It was a liner

Rare bad throw.

Almost a spectacular double play. Nice glove by Toro

Now there’s trouble

Damn. Don’t let that missed double play bite you in the ass.

A’s at 2B and 3B, two out…

Froze him.

Let’s get some more runs.

Correa’s misfire cost Garcia 9 pitches.

Kemp strikes out looking to end the threat. Halfway home…3-1 Astros

Garcia just skipped leaving the field.

Avoiding the baseline.

Nope, he skipped right after he left the mound. He was one happy guy.

We sure that didn’t clip the corner of the bag?
