A’s @ Astros, May 21, 2023 Altuve: A New Hope

Holy cow that wasn’t a strike.

Game ain’t over.

For fuck’s sake, that wasn’t even close to a strike.

B3:

Maldonado flies out F9
Altuve…full up…takes strike three near his chin. Holy fuck that was awful
Bregman grounds out 6-3

No score

We are truly living in the Golden Age of Horrible Umpiring.

When did CC Sabathia join the A’s and start playing 1B?

Kaprielian now has his ERA down to 9.00

T4:

Rooker grounds out 5-3
Laureano strikes out swinging
Aguilar…0-2…strikes out swinging

No score

Nasty

So the first three innings of this game is Kaprielian’s longest scoreless innings streak. They don’t have a hit yet. They need to swing the fucking bats

B4:

Yordan grounds out 4-3
Abreu…0-2…imagine that…strikes out swinging
Tucker…3-0…walks
Peña…0-2…1-2…strikes out swinging

No score

This scrub came into the game having given up 30 hits and 26 runs in 23 innings, and he’s made the Astros look like fucking tee ballers.

Astros can’t seem to muster even a hit.

It’s pretty remarkable that Dusty insists not only on playing Abreu every day but in batting him cleanup.

There was discussion concerning this yesterday. I have no idea what’s wrong with him, but he’s swinging the bat like a pitcher right now. If I didn’t already know there is absolutely no way you could convince me he was the league MVP a few years ago.

T5:

Diaz singles to RF
Pérez flies out F9
Langeliers grounds into 6-4-3 double play

Halfway…no score

I’m making more margaritas. Someone do some PBP. Maybe that’ll get some runs in

They mustered a hit but can’t muster a run.

They mustered a run. Can they muster a win?

It’s good to have the little guy back.
