Astros at the A's, tonight

Meyers

2 ABs
2 Ks

Garcia needs easy quick inning

Kemp Fly out CF on 1-0 pitch
Bolt Ks but sees 7 pitches
Bride flyout 9 on 0-1

Garcia able to get out of 4th on 10 pitches.

Go to the 5th.

4-1 A’s

Montas starts it with 58 pitches.

On a pitch count, made 53 pitches last out ( the first after an injury shortened start)

I wonder how the concessions are on that third level.

BYOC

Can we have a discussion of why the hell you would bat Chas leadoff against a righty?

Grounds to Machin at 3rd.

Pinder can’t scoop the throw.

Yordan scores.

Single and error

At the beginning of the game they said that Chas has had very good results against Montas.

Intentionally walks Tucker.

Montas still in at 74 pitches.

Diaz up

Ball. Ball. Strike

Fly out to right.

A’s lead down to 4-3.

Machin 4-3 on 0-1 pitch
Laureano fly out left on 1-1 pitch
Murphy BB on 4 pitches.

Career high 4th BB by Garcia.

Pinder Ks on 3 pitches

Garcia has 89 pitches after 5.

The spottiness of the offense has been masked by the unreal quality of the pitching for the last six weeks or so. If the pitching is going to regress some, the offense is going to have be better. I’m looking at you, Bregman.

Danger area 6th inning and 3rd time through line up.

Why is he pitching to Kemp?

Jake with an easy DP in front of him throws it 6 feet wide.

Oh, come on, Meyers. What kind of throw is that?
