Always look at the bright side of life… - Monty Python’s 6 inning message
Javier walked a guy hitting .193.
Maton gave up a single to a guy hitting .215 then walked a guy hitting .125.
The offense has been pathetic, but the pitching has been absolute trash.

Nice gag job there from Maton… Javier could have been on a “next base runner and you’re out” plan if it was up to me
Still Bottom 6
Stanek to Langeliers first pitch swingring and hits a ball a mile in the air to center. Myers under and makes the catch.
But the damage is done.
End 6 2-1 A’s
This is what Oakland fans are used to.
Javier was cooked. He couldn’t get his fucking breaking ball within 2 feet of the plate.
Unfortunately Maton was pre-cooked and couldn’t get anything close aside from a fat upper middle fastball that got drilled.
Hey look, Stanek comes in and throws 1 pitch for a strike and gets out of it. I fucking hate walks
I am fine with any trade involving Meyers.
Now everything is a strike
Royally fucked
Top 7
Astros losing to the worst fucking team in baseball 2-1.
Erceg in to pitch, Myers swings at the first pitch and hits a 3 hopper to short, 6-3. 1 out.
Another shit ass pitcher with a 5+ ERA, so don’t expect a goddamn thing here. Maldy takes strike 1. Takes his timeout. 0-1 pitch Takes one in at 99mph. 1-1 foul down the 3rd base line, 1-2. Sam Long warming in the pen, he’s a lefty. Yanked foul again. And again. Still 1-2. Seen a bunch of breaking balls in a row, so here comes the cheese. Nope, breaker fouled to the right side. Way up, Maldy checks his swing. 2-2. Swings a foot over a slider at the shoetops. 2 outs.
Kessinger up with nobody on and 2 outs. Takes a ball inside. Takes a strike at the bottom of the zone, 1-1. Takes a pitch 3 inches under the zone for strike 2. Jesus Christ, blue. 1-2, fouls off the same pitch because apparently it’s a fucking strike now. Way up, 2-2. Spiked breaking ball, 3-2. Takes a change up that looked just below the zone for strike 3.
Mid 7 2-1 A’s.
Someone else take over. I’m sick of this fucking game and I’m sick of this fucking offense.
Oh FFS
Fuck! Stanek gives up some rookie’s first major league home run.
Miss the zone by feet twice then throw a straight as a fucking arrow fastball thigh high on the outer edge and give up a homer.
These scrubby fucking slapdicks are going to piss away another chance to gain a game on the Rangers by losing to the fucking suck ass A’s. Embarrassing.
Carlos can’t recognize the slider.
Spoiler alert:
It’s always a slider.
Wasted chance.
I hope we didn’t give Cincy much cash for Kuhnel.
Holy crap.
Fear not, the Astros won’t lose a close one tonight.
Gonna get embarrassed by the worst team in baseball instead.
Dominated by a guy with a 10+ ERA in July and a bullpen with an over 5 1/2 ERA.
Fucking pathetic.
Kuhnel clinked.
