Astros @ A’s, 22 Jul 23

Come on Phil.

Get this out.

… A guy just missed a mistake pitch for a fly out to the wall. Not sure I’d call that a nice comeback vs. just being lucky.

Javier is so fucking infuriating. If he’d miss anywhere NEAR the zone he’d be so much more efficient. But his misses are all either head high or at the shoelaces.

Strikes, Maton.

Fuck.

One hit and he can’t get through the sixth. So frustrating.

Any other team would have brutalized Javier tonight.

JFC.

For anyone who missed it, LA beat the absolute shit out of the Rangers tonight.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of that.

Shitmuthafukka

Fuck

There goes the lead.

2 hits and 8 billion walks.

THEOW FUCKING STRIKES

Good Lord, Maton is making Javier look like a surgeon.

Bottom 6 continued

Maton in to face Thomas with 2 on and 2 out. Just misses inside, 1-0. Up, ball 2. Fuck, Maton. Way outside. FUCKING COME ON. 3-0, grooved 3-1. Swings through a fastball right down broadway, 3-2. Fouls back a strike. Rolling curve misses outside, walks the bases loaded. Good thing that wasn’t a strike, it would’ve been hit to the fucking moon.

Bases loaded, 2 outs for Peterson takes a curveball 2 fucking feet outside, 1-0. Takes a breaker on the outside corner, 1-1. Ripped to center for a single and drives in 2.

Losing to the fucking scrub ass A’s who have 2 hits through 6 2/3.

Maton looks not sharp at all.

1st and 3rd, 2 outs for Soderstrom takes a ball that Maldy has to jump and lunge outside for. 1-0. A foot outside rolling breaking ball and the runner takes 2nd without a throw. 2-0, 2nd and 3rd. 2 feet outside, 3-0. Pitching coach out to talk to Maton. This is an absolute fucking disaster of an inning.

This is what happens when you can’t trust your starting pitching and you can’t trust your pen.

Or your hitting.

Bottom 6 continued again…

3-0 to Soderstrom with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs. Misses up and out. Good fucking Christ Maton you absolute fucking cheesedick.

Bases loaded, 2 outs and here comes Dusty. Stanek, who didn’t get much time to warm up because hey, why not have a contingency plan in a close game, on his way in.

Motherbuttfuckingshitwhores!!! I think I may be giving my dog PTSD. I probably shouldn’t yell at the TV so much.

What a fucking shitshow.
