Astros at A’s June 1, 2022

Way to go, Diaz. Great jump/read by Bregman.

At least he’s still a great baserunner

Ok, JV. There’s your run.

I remember for a while, a few years gone now, it seemed like Bregman was going to be a star.

And great at catching foul popups… eh?

Oh.

On cue, he loses a pop foul in the sun.

I would argue he did what a smart base runner is supposed to do with two outs. And he isn’t fast enough to be a great baserunner.

JV is overthrowing.

6-4-3 DP!

Kemp AB was a master class in pitching. We are so fortunate to be able to watch JV.

Tony Kemp GO to Diaz unassisted to end the inning.

Maldonado, single off the wall at, wait for it, 109.2mph off the bat (yowzers). For those checking in, 1-0 Astros, T4.

These guys are really battling the sun

Time for me to go outside. Luckily it’s a cloudy breezy day here.

Good lord. Yordan got sawed off and the barrel easily cleared 1b on the fly.

Random factoid of the day: Joy Harmon’s (“Lucille” from Cool Hand Luke and now a very successful baker in Burbank for a few decades) measurements in her youth were 41-22-36.

I assume she was the car washer?

Yeah, watched an hour or so of it last night and did a “whatever happened to” search on a few of the actors

Wish the offense would give us something to talk about right now.

JV is doing something we don’t talk about.

No, he’s not doing Bruno.
