Athletics @ Astros, 9/16/22

Vimael Machine and everyone who wears the extended bat flap helmet should stash an 80’s phone in there . Bonus points if they leave the cord hanging off.

Mancini BB and Duban E6 (by Allen, who looks like a munchkin next to Mancini) has 2 on-2 out for Maldy

Maldy promptly Ks on 4 straight breaking balls. End 4: Yordan Two, Oakland Zero

Nice inning for JV: popout to Maldy in between 2 Ks

79 pitches through 5

Omg, omg, omg

So, Pena hits one over the tracks to LF and then Yordan goes #3 to about the same spot he hit the first one

Back-to-back pitches, wasn’t it?

Yes

Was Altuve ever a good hitter? Not now.

Even Yordon is smiling at that one in the dugout.

Holy Moly. And it’s only the 5th inning. He may get 2 more at bats.

He’s a great hitter, and he’s a terrible batter. He’s the the yin and yang of baseball.

No hitter no more. Oh well.

Has there ever been a pitcher that has been taken out of the game twice in the same season with no-hitters in progress?

Maybe not tonight, but he’s been great over the past month

This is an excellent question.

So, next season Peña does not make that catch because he has to be left of second base when the ball is thrown, right?

Yuli is an amazing first baseman.
