{Official} Astros @ Athletics

My only guess is a hand injury? He could not hold onto the bat, then kept trying to bunt with 2 strikes. I can't think of anything logical otherwise.

 

At least Rangers are losing.... 4-5, Top 7th

 

If it was a later inning situation, you wouldn't be worried about "long-relief", would you?

Again, you manage based on the situation you're in... with ducks on the pond and the top of the lineup coming up, you bring in one of the higher ranking bullpen (but not the highest ranking bullpen) guys to get out of it.

 

Luiz barehanding, move over Carlos!

 

As long as the stros don't give up another run there's still a chance due to our ownage of Ryan Madson over the past couple of years

 

My word Ashby just cannot help but over analyze everything. Val made a nice play, just say that.

 

The "advanced" fielding stats say he's costing the team runs at 3B.

 

Feldman has been great out of the pen as well and should have been trusted in that spot too. Not going to go back and forth. Just didn't agree with the move and I gave my reasons why.

 

That's some F'd up stats.

 

He got the goldmine we got the shaft! -Reed-

 

Actually, you didn't really give any reasons other than just that Feldman is the long-relief guy.

Again, like others said, nobody was expecting Feliz to walk 3 guys. But, I agree.. Feldman has been nailz. People forget how good he was pitching prior to his injury last year... he would have been on track to start one of the playoff games had he stayed healthy.

Back when the Astros pitchers were having all sorts of mental lapses on the road... he was actually a calming influence that didn't crap the bed away from MMP.

 

Springer has got to do something here. Please!

 

Castro is decent when teams dont shift on him. Wears out the right side of the infield

 

well springer is definitely in the midst of one of his patented slumps...he's gotta snap out of it soon

 

Oakland is such a dump... hard to believe the NBA's glamour team plays just 100 feet away from this crap-heap of a stadium.

 

Put on a freakin jacket!

 

I thought Cleveland was a little further than that.

 

Good defensive play.

Oakland owns us.

Even though we are a better team, they play well against us.

 

It's time, Bregman up, Reed down.
