[Official] Astros @ Athletics

For most of last year, Yuli was some sort of baseball batting savant freak that could actually tailor his at-bats to get more hits when there were RISP. This year, it's like he's deferred to a random number generator for how he's going to approach each at-bat.

 

Man, that was a fantastic bunt by Chirinos. If only our fast guys could do it that well...

 

Jakes due.

 

Nice swing by Kemp taking it the other way.

2-out offense incoming ??

Eta- Kemp thrown out.... smh

 

At some point you just keep your ass on the bag.

 

Oh, Tony... *sigh* If you can't successfully steal on THAT combination of high pitch and high throw with a slow-delivering, right-handed pitcher on the mound, I really don't know how to defend you anymore as a player.

 

Peacock is doing his job.

Offense next

 

No DP please. Separate outs.

Now Brantley's turn.

 

Wooooooo!!!!!!!!

I just knew he had to be due. He had been in kind of a mini-slump lately. Now let's get this going!

 

Threw White a fastball right down the ****ing middle of the plate. Fouled off. He did walk though, so there's that.

 

A walk equals a big single for White.

 

Straw can ****ing fly

 

Turn and Burn.

Robbie Grossman is still terrible in the OF.

 

Ok, Kemp, you've made up for that stealing failure. Good job.

 

Thanks Robbie

 

That was a good hit, just unlucky.

 

Kemp made amends to his caught. Nice double and Straw recognized it well.

 

Ugh Rondon. This won’t end well.
