Astros at A's May 31, 2022

Peña drills one to third, but Andrus can’t get to the ball cleanly and everyone is safe. Bases now loaded and I’m interested to see how the Astros will shit the bed.

Castro at the plate, which is not inspiring after his last at bat.

7th inning 1-1

Bregman pops to right
Yordan single to right
Gurriel single to left. 1st and 2nd
Pena grounded E5. Bases loaded
Castro 4-6-3 DP

Mid 7 tied at 1

And right on cue, Castro promptly hits into the inning ending double play. Awesome.

Man, fuck you Castro. What a fucking awful at-bat.

It was… somewhat less than mediocre.

I hate Laureano

That is all…

Leadoff single by Laureano but he’s stranded at first.
.end of 7 tied at 1

You knew going in.

Chas!!

BREAK OUT THE CHAS MIX

Maybe Chas shouldn’t bat 8th.

I know you guys think I’m full of shit and a lot of the time I am but I saw that coming. After his first swing and miss I just got that weird feeling.

Dick Laureano got a bit of alligator arms running at the bullpen in foul ground and dropped a pop by Chas.

McCormick makes him pay

Devin ought to be happy about Laureano’s failed catch in foul territory. Two pitches later, Chas hit it dead red over the centerfield wall to give the Astros the lead, which ought to haunt Ramon’s dreams for bit.

That could have been more productive.

God this offense is fucking putrid.

Just wasted opportunity after wasted opportunity.

Based loaded, no outs, and the Astros can only drive in one fucking run.

Bourbon may make an appearance in my drinking repertoire this evening.

This team is all about pitching. It’s like Astrodome teams of old.

Those teams still made productive outs with runners on. This team is just shitting themselves in double time.

…with a huge assist from Zach Jackson.
