A's at Astros - May 15, 2024

Bregman’s quick turn around moved him to cleanup. Dubon playing at first.

Odd to see Dubon and 1B with both Loperfido & Cabbage in the lineup and the OF. Both have played a lot of 1B at AAA, but Dubon?? What am I missing?

Framber on the mound?

Hadn’t thought of that. Could be.

They aren’t comfortable with Loperfido at 1B yet and I guess they are more confident in Dubon at 1B than Cabbage

Loperfido hasn’t played that much 1B. He’s mostly been an OF throughout his career, and prior to this season played more games at 2B:

First inning, Tucker doubled home Altuve and Bregman scored his in a SF.

After 2, 2-0 Astros

Nice to see Alex driving in runs.

That ball sure as fuck looked like it hit grass.

I really like 2024 JP

Dear TK: Stop trying to make “rispy” happen. It’s not going to happen.

Had total faith in Dubon getting that run home

Again: patterning your swing after Uncle Mike is a good thing.

Framber is in his good headspace tonight - started to get pissed at Laz for the balk call, then says to Yainer “forget it” and gets right back on the rubber.
