I'm not sure there was a lot he could do about that one. I sure thought it was a hit.

Have they said anything about Correa? I missed it if they did.

He should've been at least thinking it might be caught. He was 3 steps on his way to 3rd instead of hedging his bets.

With nobody out, there's no reason to be off to the races on the crack of the bat.

He may have been toast either way, but he took a few steps towards third after the ball was in play and didn’t freeze on the liner off the bat.

Tucker probably hasn't seen many curves like that in AA and AAA.

I wish George would just try to go up the middle with these, instead of trying to turn the ball into dust.

So, Hinch said Carlos Correa is working out back in Houston and isn't doing any baseball drills. He won't return any time soon it appears. More to come.

No baseball activities. Can't swing a bat. Getting treatment and rehabbing at MMP. No timetable for return.

I'll say this about Tucker: he doesn't seem anxious at the plate. Hopefully as he sees more pitches he'll figure out what to do with them.

Agree, but this is on Marwin not the scorer. No hitter or not, you have to catch that ball. That wasn’t an especially difficult play.

Yeah, I saw the reports earlier but I don’t understand this move by the A’s. Their pen is STRONG. They need rotation help. They already have a closer and a setup guy. This would be a waste of tradable assets in my opinion.

If this does go through, it will be another closer off the board. With each one that gets dealt the price for the others likely goes up. If we are going to deal for a closer, better move quick.

Speaking of scorers, I'm assuming that run is earned because on the fielder's choice you can't presume that the out would have been made at 3rd?

Keuchel has won four decisions in a row, in those last four starts: 27.2IP, 19H/4ER, 18K:6BB, with opponents hitting .194/.236/.224. Keuchel now has back-to-back starts without allowing an extra-base hit.
