Astros @A’s, August 7, 2020

Agreed, but doesn’t change the bad call.

Sure, but it really was ball four

Come on Altuve. Get the job done.

Damn you, Matt Chapman.

And now they lose.

Fuck.

That suck ass inning is all on Toro.

Now gotta gotta get six more outs.

This is just a bad team right now. When they hit, they don’t pitch well. When they pitch well, the offense doesn’t score runs.

GAS!

That is a recipe for a sub .500 team.

With movement

Fuck. That was a fucking strike

Absolutely. The Astros pitching staff is sub .500 quality right now. It’s Greinke, an inconsistent McCullers, Pressly and a lot of young arms/rookies.

That was a strike.

Nice inning!

Now score some fucking runs!!!

Paredes got 4 outs that inning.

Paredes deserves a win after that inning. He grew up in front of our eyes.

I have really bad news for you (and us): the window has already closed. The Brantley/Springer/Reddick outfield is gone next year, as are all of the experienced pitchers (save McCullers). And Yuli. The only current member of the team that one might reasonably expect to be a part of the next resurgence is Bregman, and that’s three or four years out.

Swing the fucking bat!!!

I don’t buy that. Even if they lose all the guys you mention, what… they’re not going to sign any free agents?
