Astros @ Athletics, September 24th, 2025

Astros throwing some leather around. Too bad they can’t throw some wood.

End of four…1-0

Diaz hacks out on one pitch behind his head and one that bounces in the other batter’s box.

We all have our whipping boy in the lineup each season, and I’m usually pretty quiet about mine. But I’ll go ahead and say it. I am not a Yainer Diaz fan.

Cole lines out to 3B

Halfway…1-0

I’ll gladly take everyone but Cole behind the woodshed.

That chase rate stat above is mind boggling.

Efficiently bad. DOGE would be proud.

Greetings from 32k feet.

Severino threw 22 pitches in the first. He’s gone the next four on 46.

He seems pretty middle of the pack behind the plate, and his hitting this year has been worse than previous years. But he offers one advantage: his salary is still under club control.

Operation Shutdown is here.
Espada is out of here.

That Yainer only swings at half the pitches out of the zone? I would have guessed closer to 80%

I’m amazed to see a team lay off a pitchers offspeed slop and wait for a pitch. Must be nice…

OMFG… Sanchez… I have no words.

Jesus, Jesus.

Does it mean that he swings at 44% of the pitches out of the zone? Or 44% of the pitches he swings at are out of the zone? The latter seems more likely to me.

Harris with a 1-out single to LF, Sanchez boots it, Harris to 2B on the E7

He can’t hit, but at least he’s dogshit in the field.

It’s the former.
