A’s @ Astros, July 7, 2021

In the air through the infield. It was not a hard hit ball.

ETA: I went back and watched it. It was a chip shot through the infield, landing just beyond where the diving SS could reach. Toro froze, turned and watched the play, then ran. It was fielded shallow by the CF.

End of five…3-1 still

Javier in

And it’s 3-2

Javier goes 0-2 on the next guy then walks him

The squeeze is on.

Single to right. Two on, nobody out

Not good

Javier just can’t throw enough strikes. Too many pitches that just not competitive

They are all over his fastball

Because they know he can’t throw a strike with anything else. Can’t even get it with five feet of the plate, so they don’t worry about getting fooled.

Bounced it in the other batters box.

Good grief.

What a gift.

Thank you for running into that out.
