Cuban missile
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.
B8:
Vazquez grounds out 5-3
McCormick grounds out 6-3
Peña flies out F8
To the 9th…5-2 Astros
T9:
Montero in
Laureano lines out to LF
Vogt…0-2…1-2…strikes out swinging
Garcia…full count…strikes out swinging
Astros win!
This bullpen is filthy.
Who was the HPU? He seemed gigantic.
That was Jordan Baker. He’s 6 foot 7.
