    Let the A's burn a few starters and then come back to win.

    It's looking like time for the Astros to prepare themselves to exorcise their Tampa demons.

    I love the "it's over" posters. They do it during the Stros games too, usually by the 4th inning.

    It's almost like they didn't watch the game last night. Or any number of baseball games throughout their lives.

    Thanks. Listening to it now. These guys are more low key, which is nice. Wasn't really upset with the main ESPN broadcast; I just thought they were trying too hard.

    Yeah. Ridiculous. I really don’t get how anyone could think it’s over.

    Voted Oakland prior to the game, but should've posted. They have hitting, Ray's have pitching, and pitching usually beats hitting. Plus we struggle vs Tampa for whatever reason (pitching?).

    His fielders apparently do, though. Wow, a three-base error.

    He might not get the chance to unless he gets a little more efficient.

    Hopefully they throw Snell in for innings 5-7.

    Why not Glasnow?

    I didn't pay any attention to who pitched for them last couple of games, btw.

    It's more about the pitch count, I think.
