That reaction by Semien when he had that one up in his kitchen saw his bat was priceless.

If Bagwell thinks #10's name is Yuri, then his name is Yuri.

Someone else take a couple of innings PBP. I must eat and do a few things in the yard before it gets dark

Blummer: "So is it fair to say that a guy who consistently has a high exit velocity means he's getting the barrel to the ball and hitting it hard?"
Bagwell: "No, it's about results"
Ummm...ok...let's keep your eye on the ball, Baggy.
-
Correa is a pretty decent baseball player.
May have a future in this game.

Davis flies out F8
Next Guy strikes out swinging
Chapman grounds out 6-3

In case anyone is wondering...Manny Mota Stick is pine resin, only in a wax form rather than liquid. It's not carcinogenic.
-
Three straight 2-out walks...chickens in the yard for Fisher...

You missed a bunch of that conversation.

Astros leave the bases loaded...lead 7-0

MSDS for both say 'data not available'.
But I've never seen a pine tree with cancer.
-

Yes, it wasn't a transcript. I was just commenting on Bagwell's statement about what exit velocity indicates.
-

But I've never seen a pine tree with cancer.
Pine tar, rosin (both the rock and the powder), Mota stick...all pretty much the same thing. Pine resin in various forms. The Mota stick is incredibly sticky.
-
Fisher is so maddening sometimes. The ump stood there and told him "hey, we've been at it 2 hours, we're in the 5th...it's 7-0...three straight walks...you need to swing the bat here." He takes three strikes.
-
First base hit.
Last inning Bagwell said something like "he can have no hit stuff everytime he goes out there. "
You could hear Blummer wince.
They moved on quickly.
-

Canha singles up the middle on the first pitch for the A's first base runner
Piscotty with a slow roller to 2B, nobody there on the shift...single. Canha to 2B

Fisher is so maddening sometimes. 《snip》
'Sometime' it's included in 'all the time' so this statement is true.
-
Love the shot of Altuve pausing to give Josh the low down then resuming high 5s.
-
More of this, please.

He caught himself, but it was there. Blummer couldn't stop laughing.

Based loaded.
Bagwell: "This is where you grind."
Never mind it's 10-0.
No wonder I loved watching him play.
-
Sipp gets a couple of fly balls and a K.
Great game. Hopefully anyone who missed it can catch some of Bagwell's commentary on their DVRs.

Nice win, not sure what changed from yesterday but we were on our game tonight.

They got those early runs and I think they played a lot looser.

Nice, a bit of decorum around here would be most salubrious.

Last night was a real bummer, I actually started wondering if I was not giving Manaea enough credit?

Second.
