Astros @ A's, August 9, 2020

Must’ve killed the hpu to not call those pitches strikes to Bregman.

Back to back 2 out walks for Lurzado.

Whose day is done with Yuli due up.

Yuli walks.

Based juiced for Correa.

Pathetic at bat by Correa.

Correa swung at three straight balls well out of the zone, and never got within a foot of any of them.

Correa misses a slider, another 6 inches off the plate 0-2, Ks swinging on the same pitch.

Pa-fucking-thetic AB.

That high hanger that Yuli fouled back was probably their best chance.

He may be having the best season on this offense (ie tallest midget) but that was as bad as you’ll ever see. Shades of Chris Truby.

Nothing for the A’s

Machete took a backswing on the index finger of his glove hand.

Catchers should have their service time tripled.

Dusty got tossed.

He’s still fuming but not coming out to the field (verbhoten this year).

if it takes more than 3 pitches to get Straw the pitcher should be sent down.

When is the last time Correa got a hit with somebody on base? His average may be ok right now, but those are empty calories.

Laureano hit for the second time today.

First was a FB that hit the L on his nameplate.

Second was a slider. He’s pissed, offers grip advice to Castellsnos.

Chirping from Cintron leads Laureano to charge the dugout.

Garneau intercepts him beautifully.

Everybody converges, Machete is surrounded by a dozen A’s.

All properly distanced no doubt.

Cintron stepped up to the top step and will likely be tossed.

I’ll take this moment to state that Laureano can stick it up his ass.

Laureano pissed me off last year.

In the game Miley gave up the lead in the 9th Laureano said "when we saw him come out for the 9th we knew we were gonna win. "

You knew?

Fuck you, you arrogant fuck.

Laureano gets drilled between the letters again, and has a few words for Castellanos.

He then charge the Astros’ dugout as Dustin Garneau lays him out…now it’s a sea of players in it…

Order restored, but expect more fireworks.

Nothing in the top of the 8th.

If anyone has earned his pay so far this year, it’s Machete. This staff has been brutal on him.

Grossman double and a walk but no runs.

To the sweet merciful 9th.
