A’s @ Astros, September 15, 2022

T7:

Martinez in

Garcia strikes out looking
Thomas flies out F7
Allen, who looks like he’s 9 years old, strikes out swinging

At the Stretch…still 2-2 game

He shaves to try to stimulate the follicles.

I see some patient swings.

That was low

B7:

Payamps in for the A’s

McCormick dribbles out in front of the plate…2-3
Peña dribbles out in front of the plate, but a little farther, beats it out for a single
Diaz homers to LF, Peña scores

That’s all for Payamps, Moll in

Alvarez singles to CF
Bregman hit by pitch, Alvarez to 2B
Tucker singles to CF, Alvarez scores

And Kotsay’s got no more use for this guy…brings in Ruiz

Gurriel…0-2…1-2…2-2…3-2…takes strike three at the ankles. Jeebus that was a hose job
Mancini strikes out swinging

But thrice the Astros hit the pay station…lead 5-2

That’s the nicest thing you could say about that call.

Holy shit that was Little League Bullshit bad.

And HPU has actually been really good tonight. But he fucked that call up.

That was only a strike in hockey.

I think Chas could have dealt with that one a little more skillfully.

Following on gameday. Were the A’s going to pinch hit for Brown? Is this a weird pitching change?

ETA: I see: Pinder. Yes.

T8:

Smith in

Kemp flies out F8
Bride, pinch hitting for Machin, flies out F9
Murphy triples to RCF

That’s all for Smith, Neris in

Pinder, pinch hitting for Brown, full count on the same pitch Yuli got wrung up on…strikes out swinging.

5-2 Astros

Perfect breaking ball at the knees. Nicely done, Neris.

Who was the HPU? He seemed gigantic.

That was Jordan Baker. He’s 6 foot 7.
