Oakland at Houston, September Thirteen, Twenty-Twenty-Three

Look at the wheels on Uncle Mike

Well, shit, now Yainer won’t play again for a week.

Does Blum not know that we’ve already had a Baby Bull?

Thought there might be a play at the plate, but he scored easily.

End of five…5-0 Astros

Montero in

HPU has been pretty tight tonight.

Was there some compelling reason to remove Brown and replace him with Montero beyond the sportsmanlike desire to give the A’s a fighting chance?

Not really. Third time through the order BS?

Dunno.

He threw a fair number of pitches.

Maybe trying to let Brown finish out with a sense of confidence?

Middle of six…5-0

That could have been ugly.

  1. Not an extraordinary amount. He did walk a few guys in his last inning. Maybe that was it.

Meyers has had three at bats. He’s seen four pitches. Gotta get your hacks in, I reckon.

Kalas suggested the Astros pulled Brown early as part of monitoring his workload.
