Astros @ Athletics, September 24th, 2025

Rooker grounds out 5-3

No score after one

Jake has had a very nice season even with the lost time.

I was really surprised the other day when Jake dove and didn’t come up with it. He usually gets those.

Sanchez pops up

Diaz grounds out 6-3

Meyers flies out F8

Astros down in order on nine pitches. No score

Yainer, you’re supposed to use a bat, not a fucking shovel.

Diaz leads the league in chase percentage at 44%. I don’t know what that means exactly but I know it’s not good.

It’s the percentage of pitches out of the zone that a guy swings at. Average is 15-20%

HB with a 1-2-3 frame. No score

Cole caught looking

Urias lines out to RF

Roberto Clemente is probably second on my list of “man, I wish I had seen that guy play”, behind Mays.

Altuve grounds out. A tidy 7-pitch innng

No score

This offense barely has a pulse at this point.

The family is gathered around discussing in hushed tones that it’s time to pull the plug on the offense.

I don’t recall seeing Mays play, but remember watching Aaron.

Sometimes when I have trouble going to sleep, which is often I go back to certain Astros teams and try and go through the lineup and picture the batter in the box. In many cases, I never make it to the end. Oh, how long for the lineup from the 2019 squad. Tonight I’ll roll through that one when I harsh hits the pillow.

The answer is C. Brown will finish third behind Skubal and Crochett.

Outstanding Sir.
