    I love when they pitch the Carlos in a game winning spot.

    Ha! Split is not the desired result but much better than losing 3 out of 4.

    On what planet do you pitch to Correa instead of Gomez? I'll take it but wow I'd be pissed if I was an A's fan.

    Nice duck by Correa to avoid being swiped tagged despite the awful throw

    Hinch likes showing confidence in his players... to a fault sometimes.

    Last 3 games, he's lost 16 points off his BA. He'll bounce back strong.

    Astros win !!!!

    6-4 home stand is decent and acceptable.

    Rangers losing too!!!

    Wait...Astros won? I thought they lost based on all the comments a few pages back. When will some posters learn. That is the 13th last at bat win for Houston this year.

    I'll take it. Looking like it'll be 5.5 lead for Rangers. Let's go and take it from them!

    Man, talk about stealing a game. Even though it was only one run, it never really felt like we were gonna win this one.

    Keuchel, with a very Dallas Keuchel start, and awesome work by the pen after some sketchy recent results.

    Mr. 5 tool walk-off king strikes again! Not a conventional walk-off, but I never have any doubt when teams pitch to Correa in a game winning spot.

    No idea why the A's didn't just walk him and face Gomez :confused: were they seriously scared of a bases loaded walk from Gomez?

    Also, thank you Ryan Madson.

    Coming into the Oakland Series Altuve was hitting .350.

    .346 after game 1
    .347 after game 2
    .343 after game 3
    .341 after today.

    He is slumping but hasn't lost that many points off his average. You were probably looking at OBP where he has lost 16 points.

    EDIT - Those sacrifice bunts cost you in terms of OBP.

    What's deal with the Astros offense this series against the A's? I mean, besides the 10-9 win on Friday, it seems as though the bats have gone cold these last 2 games.

    And what bad timing for the Astros to be losing to the A's at home when the Rangers are not doing great against the Twins. Astros could've easily had a 4 1/2 GB going into the break.

    Oh well! All-Star break and we'll see how far the Astros will go the rest of the way.
