Astros @ A’s, September 7, 2020

2-out walk to Kemp

HPUs zone is big, but not that big.

Javier just can not find the zone consistently

Yep. Huge zone and Javier is just all over the place.

Through four…2-0 A’s.

Hopefully Javier has another inning in him.

I don’t know how many popups into shallow right I can take.

Jeez, Garneau…what do you want?

Springer is determined to not see a strike tonight.

The team clearly saw some value in Garneau but I’ll be damned if I know what it is.

That was pretty nice from Bassitt.

The jerk.

A quick 6-pitch inning for the Astros so they could get Javier back out there as soon a possible.

Astros batters ready to head back to the hotel.

He can’t field, can’t throw, and can’t hit. But he’s good in a donnybrook.

They have a double header tomorrow. They need their rest.

Seven inning games let you lose faster.

Laureano drilled.

I mean, it was 77 mph. But still.

Solid move.

Bad press is better than press about losing streaks.

And he had no intention of trying avoid it

Still, I was hoping Javier would strike him out them give him some batting tips on his way to the dugout.
