    Idgaf if Oakland sucks. The first step to being good again is beating bad teams.

    He did. That was good for him. Glad they allowed him to get all the work.

    Great game. I watched it from Fuddruckers bc my house got swallowed by a tornado.

    May have to do it again if they keep playing like that

    Hopefully some of this mojo has rubbed off on Hunter Brown. It’s very nice to have a 5 game winning streak heading into his start, though!

    Yep. And quality pitching is always quality pitching. And nice to see no batters eye excuses for games at MMP.

    We're playing so much better, and that makes me very happy.

    Go 'Stros!!

    We hopped over OAK, StL, and CIN all in 1 swoop. PITT, SF, and TOR are on notice.

    Yeah and he just isn’t Valdez - he isn’t a horse. He gives you 5-6 high quality innings when he isn’t hurt or overworked. We just kind of have to accept it

    The A’s are not a good or even average team - but they are not horrendous and play hard with under rated pitching. The A’s didn’t lose, the Astros beat them.

    Fans need to realize the Brewers are next and are playing very well- lots of guys playing at a star level. Yelich for example is hitting like he did when he was getting the signs ahead of time.
