A's at Astros, July 8, 2021

Fuck Kyle.

You just saw the exact same scenario play out twice this inning alone.

At least 4 of them have bounced at the plate, and it isn’t just Altuve swinging at them.

The only pitch he’s spotting at all is his fastball. Everything else is shin high.

Alright, I have to get back to work for a bit. Someone else take over explaining why the Astros looking like a bunch of fucking little leaguers against a guy with a 4.5 ERA.

A pop fly between Toro and Alvarez is terrifying.

They’re not even starting off in the same slot he’s placed those FBs.

Also, fuck this HPU with a cactus. McCullers is not getting the same off the corner pitches that Montas is.

I still think he is ok there. Takes time to settle in. Lots of impatience on the TZ.

It’s a 2-0 game that feels like a 6-0 no hitter.

Lots of time. Good thing the TZ is known for its patience and lack of overreaction.

Toro looks like a cross between Springer and a zombie.

Not almost a prefect pitch, TK.

It was a perfect pitch to throw out Chas.

And a perfect throw from Garcia.

Great jump by Chas, but nothing he could do

Don’t mind that steal attempt at all.

My god, the booth is full on Cubs broadcast right now.

Acting like Montas is doing something amazing because the Astros literally will swing at anything waist high or below is the fucking height of stupidity.

10 outs, 2 runs.

Rattle the fucking bats!

A SIX FUCKING PITCH INNING.

Seriously, fuck this.

That’s the worst fucking swing I’ve ever seen from Correa

What worries me is that this is the same sort of out-of-nowhere non-performance that started that inexplicable stretch of garbage against Detroit and Baltimore. I sure hope the switch didn’t get flipped off again.

They’re playing this like a getaway game…

There have been more than a few series where the Astros have looked great/dominant for 2-3 games then, once the series is won, they trot out and look like they just don’t give a solitary fuck.

It’s really frustrating/annoying
