    A sweep would balance the Athletics series, but I'd take 2-1 right now.

    1-2 equals a bad road trip -- 0-3 is terrible

    Seems the Astros always play down to their competition. Since the Angels are playing well, odds are Astros sweep.

    Don't know how many times I have to ask "why are you pitching to Cal Raleigh"?

    I'm walking him just about every time. At least pitch around him. He wants to go fishing, then good.

    Teams just haven't gotten the memo.

    Hope we sweep to make up for the disappointing A’s series.

    Indeed it is, I had no idea he'd been this successful in scouting/FO roles since his playing days. From wiki:

    After his playing career, he spent four years as an area scout for the Milwaukee Brewers, during which time Milwaukee selected second baseman Rickie Weeks out of his South Texas/Louisiana territory. He was the Brewers' Midwest supervisor for two years and their assistant scouting director and national supervisor the next two years. In 2009, Montgomery turned down an offer to become the scouting director of the San Diego Padres because he had just moved to Connecticut and did not want to relocate.[citation needed]

    In 2010, the Arizona Diamondbacks named Montgomery their new scouting director.[4] He served four years in that role, until he returned to the Brewers as their scouting director in November 2014.[5][6]

    The Los Angeles Angels hired Montgomery as their director for player personnel after the 2020 season. After the 2021 season, the Angels named him their new bench coach.

    Pitch was quite literally right down the middle.

    The one Paredes jacked was about 5 inches higher

    Pretty sure the Stros didn't teach Kikuchi to do that, but I like it
