A's at Astros, August 14, 2022

Another strong inning from Javier.

Uh oh.

Hope Kemp is ok.

The lesson from the last 2 innings:

Well hit balls: out
Soft serve: base hit

Vazquez adds to the 2 out totals

And it’s gone.

Screw the non-believers.

Mid 7. A’s 0. Astros 5.

Dewaayne was talking about how ‘efficient’ Rasmussen had been. Apparently he’s a believer.

If a radio broadcast says something they shouldn’t, and I’m not around to hear it, does it make a jinx?

You’re talking about the O’s-Rays game, sorry. I think I got a banner announcement from MLB.

Did Kalas call a HR on a routine fly ball?

Jinx strength is highest in the dugout and drops off exponentially the further away from it you get.

By the time you reach another mlb team’s broadcast booth it’s a strong as an FM signal in west Texas.
