[Official] Astros @ Athletics

JV is this generations Ryan.

I think he's going to do well past 40. His slider was nasty last night.

 

Scrappy 7-8-9 hitters

 

I thought of another word to describe hitters 6-9.

Hopefully the top of the lineup can score 4 runs today.

 

Starts with the same letter

 

Rhymes with gritty?

 

I like this lineup. We're giving the other team a chance!

Go! #astrosexpress

 

Just gonna go sweep off the back porch real quick

 

It is going to take a long time for Fisher at 2nd with Bregman at the plate not to be special.

 

Yuli!

 

Laureano not flashing the leather this inning.

 

But Grossman is, sadly.

 

Not on Kemp's ball

 

Always loved the A's jerseys. Pure class

 

Of course, but I was specifically referring to the top of the 1st inning of this game (see the post I quoted). He had 2 putouts that looked somewhat impressive.

 

Obviously wish we were fully healthy, but watching all the young kids get consistent playing time is a pretty fun storyline. Seeing them play as well as they have is the cherry on top, but there's still a lot of series left. We need our vets to continue to lead. Reddick, Yuli, JV, Cole, Marisnick have done a great job so far. Regardless, kudos to Luhnow. We are so lucky.

 

Struck out the Biscuit to thwart the rally!

 

Stupid Grossman

 

Ugh obligatory solo dinger. Hope this is it. As much as I love Cole, it's clear he's regressed (BB and HR allowed are looking like 2017). TBH, if we traded for Boyd (9 K 0 BB in 5 IP today, did great outside of Dansby Swanson), I'd consider starting him Game 2 in the playoffs, to go R/L/R/L.
