[Official] Athletics @ Astros

But next time he goes 0-4, people will ask why Vasquez isn't playing more.

 

Seems a win if we avoid throwing the ball everywhere

 

Fire Click and Baker.... These two are clowns....

 

Dusty tells Click what to say,.

 

Click: I need you to play Mancini

Dusty: Nope

Click: Ok

 

We might as well accept the fact that Dusty isn’t going to play him much at all

He straight up said he don’t want him in the field with ground ball pitchers or fly ball pitchers going, so it’s DH only basically and we ain’t playing Alvarez in the field full time

Mancini has to be extremely frustrated, but it’s just how it’s gonna be

 

Taking a look at the offense for the last week (OPS)

I'd give anything if I could know what AJ would do...

 

Mancini Im sure really wishes he was still an Oriole. They are young, hungry, and on fire. He played everyday with those guys. Im sure he’s pissed.

 

Dang. Tatis Jr banned 80 games for PED violation. Sucks to be a SD fan

 

Just read that too. There goes his image.

 

Haven't seen a guy where the ground he walked on was worshipped like him since Soto and Othani.

What's interesting about it to me is that he's already locked up for the next decade plus, this seems more like a rehab thing than a performance thing.

 

He was on an MLB.tv commercial last year during commercial breaks. Seems to think a lot of himself in it.

 

The swift Alvarez makes that play too

 

Finally got Tony Kemp out. Gonna be a good night.

 

Thanks Dusty

 

And on 1 pitch too! Thanks Yules!

 

Thanks Yuli.

 

4 pitch walk to Altuve then Yuli 1st pitch swinging into double play.

Someone please defend starting Yuli and batting him 2ND.

Please.
