A's at Astros, 9/11/23

How old is Nick Allen? 9…maybe 10?

No way. MLB would never allow somebody to sign an underage player.

Some nice glove work on slow rollers that inning.

Need to rattle the bats.

Valdez listed as 5’11" and 239 pounds. He must carry around 40 pounds of lead in his pockets.

Speaking of underage…my wife reminded me this week that Jose Altuve has been married to his wife for 17 years. She’s 31.

Miller out, Waldichuk in for the Athletics.

Once again the Astros bats are sawed off.

1-0 A’s

Only 8 pitches to sit us back down …

4-pitch, 2-out walk

Rooker swipes 2B rather easily.

Punch out ends the inning.

1-0

Those pitches were so far out of the zone it should have counted as two walks.

After the ball he hit in the second sent people to the ER, I’m ok with that.

Don’t bother running, Yordan.

Tucker drilled between the letters

Tucker picked off

1-0

At this rate, look for an A’s sweep this week.

Frak

Thank Fowler that we have 5 more innings to continue this hitting display

Oakland extends its lead now 2-0
