Astros @ A's...May 20, 2021

Not a good rundown.

Abreu didn’t run hard enough or far enough before the throw.

Gotta chase Kemp back to 2B and make the play there.

And now no double lay because they let Andrus get to 2B. It’s the little things.

Correa starts the 8th with a 2-bagger.

Man, I would love to play poker with Tucker.

Stanek alert!

Stanek in for the 8th…

And he immediately drills Laureano.

And then walks Olsen…tying run to the plate, nobody out

The wheels have fallen off Stanek.

He’s a huge steaming pile right now.

Chapman punches out…one down

I like to think of Stanek wearing a tuxedo t-shirt. He’s formal, but he likes to party.

Lowrie goes down and on strikes

It’s hard to trust pitchers that struggle to consistently command the zone in the late innings. Stanek has the stuff, it’s just inconsistency with commanding it that is the issue.

You have a three-run lead and you gift the A’s two base runners with a HBP and a walk. Make them earn their way on.

Another walk loads the bases and chases Stanek

A’s have the tying run on base…they have not put a ball in play.

Home plate umpire does his best to bail Stanek out. Stanek says no thanks.

Click’s attempt to remake the bullpen has been a disaster. What a mess.
