A's at Astros, August 14, 2022

It’s a new day, and a new lineup.

I’m on radio, Javier sounds a tad bit wild. How did Vazquez look on that WP…pitch was stoppable or totally spiked?

I was busy opening the thread when it happened, so I didn’t see it. It sounded like it was on Vasquez from the tv announcers, but what do they know?

Javier looked great on that last batter.

I may have misread, but I believe that when the A’s batting order was shown, the highest average was .237. Which probably means they’ll get 15 hits today.

Stevenson is at .286 (also his SL%), everybody else under .240

4-0 Astros at the top of the third. The A’s have the 'Stros right where they want them.
