Astros @ A's, August 9, 2020

I’m back. Did I miss anything?

I got back home just in time for the 9th.

This team is not even a playoff contender right now.

Straight. Up. Trash.

Yuli K
Correa popup
Tucker Ks swinging.

No more shenanigans.

Fines/suspensions no doubt on the way.

And the A’s will bide their time and plunk an Astro or 2 down the road.

Dusty presser.

Reporter 1 asks Dusty if it’s appropriate for a coach to chirp at a player.

Reporter 2 tells Dusty that Cintron supposedly said something about Laureano’s mother. Reporter then asks “Is that appropriate?”

Dusty handled both idiotic question deftly.

Did the Astros bother to score a run today?

Hey you jerk, they scored TWO whole runs after they were down by 5!

Has Laureano never played baseball and received shit talking before? I didn’t play at the highest level admittedly but if I had a dollar for everytime I heard something indecent about somebodys mother… well lets just say I had be much more well off than I am now. Develop a bit thicker skin bud.

Cintron got 20 days; Loreano got 5, maybe 6. I have seen both…

Cintron’s behavior (stepping up and gesturing ‘come on’) was stupidly shortsighted.

Worth 20 games? Don’t know and frankly don’t care. He managed to deliver a yet another PR black eye to the Astros.

The idea that Laureano was left no option but to sprint 340 yards across foul ground to the dugout is ludicrous. Whatever was said landed hard because he was already angry. Angry people do stupid things. And those stupid things are their fault, no one elses.
