Andrus 4-3 on 3-2 6th pitch ( 95)

Abreu warming

Piscotty line double on 3-2 7th pitch.(102)

Kemp fly out to cf. Meyers wide throw should have doubled him off.

Garcia is done after 108 pitches.

62

I don’t think Meyer’s shoulder is 100%

He has very little power at the plate and his throwing has been flat bad.

63

Abreu Ks Bolt to end the 6th.

Still 4-3 A’s

64

We desperately need another outfielder. Or Bell. Or both.

65

Pruitt still in forvtop of the order

Chas Ks
Pena Ks

A’s bringing in a lefty to face Yordan

66

Oh, and Yordan is grabbing at his leg.

Do they just want to kick some puppies while they’re at it?

67

Ok

Alvarez 3 unassisted

68

Abreu still in 7th.

Bride Ks
Machin hit on elbow guard 98mph fb
Laureano fly out to left
Murphy pop out 3

69

8th inning.

Sam Moll still pitching

Alex 4-3
Tucker fly out RF

A’s bring in righty to face Diaz.

Astros down to 4 outs

70

Jackson pitching

Diaz Ks and doesn’t run out the passed ball.

71

Neris pitching the 8th.

Pinder Ks looking
Andrus Ks looking
Piscotty doubles past Bregman
Kemp doubles off RF wall Piscotty scores.
Bolt lines to Tucker

Is it just me or does Neris look like his dog just got hit by a car when he pitches?

72

Watching Tony Kemp I feel like Dodgers fans must when they watch Yordan.

73

Go to the 9th.

Astros have 3 outs to score at least 2 with bottom of line up due.

Looks like Trivino will be on the mound.

74

Don’t appeal it, just let this miserable game die.

75

Matijevic hits one off Trivinos cleats. 1-3. A single if it gets past him

One out.

Altuve hits for Meyers. 4-3 on 1st pitch.

Gurriel hits for Maldy: 5-3 great play by Machin.

And not even a whimper in the 9th.

76

So sad that the Astros can’t beat this AAAA team.

77

Nice job with the “three off days” taunt before this series. Hope we can salvage one game.

BBGs are real and love to punish hubris.

It wasn’t a taunt but in hindsight I can see that it looks like one. I was attempting to convey my expectation that they would continue to take Oakland lightly and continue their desultory play. Put another way, they took three days off the last Oakland series and I thought that they would do the same in this series. But the bbgs can see below the surface and determine true intent, can’t they? If not, mea culpa.

The baseball gods always infer the worst possible intent, whatever true intent may have been. They’re the pinnacle of perversity.

There is no way around the BBGs. They are so perverse, they will blunt Occam’s razor and make Murphy’s law, illegal.
