    What in the actual **** is Keuchel doing?? He's getting hit around like a ****ing pinata right now. Everything is right down the middle with little to no movement.

    He cant do anything with anything. His .500 OPS for August, worst of his career in a month.

    Correa will adjust and get back to form. He’s too good not to.

    Keuchel though....

    Lmao at how fickle some Astros "fans" are.

    One run deficit does not equal losing the division.

    It doesn't , but it doesn't look good with this teams history against the A's recently. That and Keuchel's pitching.

    Nice bounce back there, but he really can't afford to have another inning where he gives up multiple hits. Especially with the heart of their order coming back up.

    Keuchel is playing a dangerous game with those fastballs right down the heart of the plate that inning.

    This is exactly the problem. Baseball is not a "what have you done for me lately" game. It's a long season and there's still 30 more games. We dominate them in run differential. We own the season series.

    The only things that matter are the records at the end of the season, and the momentum going into the playoffs.

    You know the Red Sox are rooting for the Astros--they don't want any part of this A's team

    Hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh man.

    They are more worried about the newbish As than the team that took them out last year and won the World Series.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    No, because the Red Sox are not as fickle and weak-minded as some of our fans are.

    Some of you work for the A's PR department? Sheesh.

    Is it possible for Stanton and TK to be more fascinated with how Loriano stands in centerfield?
