Astros @ A's, 7/20/2023

I figured it out. He was drafted as an international free agent between the 2012 and 2013 seasons. The new logo did not go into use until the 2013 season. That open star logo was the logo that was in play when he was drafted.

Insurance, baby!

Tucker works the count full, then grounds out
Bregman works the count full, then homers

I like Alex’s version better!

Insurance salsa!

Relatedly…if you haven’t seen the opening bit from the semi-recent Mr Show revival, you really need to look it up

Called it. I know everyone thinks I’m full of shit and that’s fine. But I called it.

I’ll admit to having a twinge of doubt after that pop foul for strike two.

Abreu is the 3rd straight batter to work the count full, then walks

Isn’t that what you call the jar of Pace in your parents’ pantry?

Chas at the plate, that’s been a good thing lately

Hush, you. The BBG’s are listening.

Wild pitch, Abreu takes 2nd

Abreu broke zero major league records shuffling down to second base on that passed ball.

On to the bottom of the 9th

Julks has tattooed 3 pitches with nothing to show for it.

Did you see Julks face? Priceless. Best night at the plate of any batter, and he has exactly nothing to show for it.

That will even out, maybe when we play the Strangers

OK one down

Two down

Three down

Really nice that no one batted in the 9th representing a tying run

Astros win
