Title: Astros at A's May 7, 2018
Post by: Astros Fan in Big D on May 07, 2018, 09:10:43 pm
I like leadoff doubles.

Based juiced,  2 outs.

Come on Marwin.

Big at bat here by Marwin. Last year’s Astros would make a team pay in this situation.

Now he’s gotta lead off the next inning. At least could have cleared his spot.

Well, he didn’t succeed either. Hopefully, now that he has a second chance when leading off the 2nd, someone will tell him not to watch a fastball go by without swinging like he did on the first pitch.

I guess no one told him. But Reddick singles and Stassi with a 2-bagger.

Then Springer promptly singles (that's double,  homer,  single already for George).

Total knee jerk decision.

I'm sure he would have settled down after another 3 or 4 innings.

Big night for Marwin! The last couple of games he has had some better at bats. If he starts to heat up and produce our lineup is going to look a WHOLE lot better.

Leaving 1B uncovered on a ground ball increases the hit percentage.

Fans had some GP signs; Blum said they were Gary Pettis fans.

Momentarily forgot they were the initials of Gretchen Piscotty who died yesterday of ALS.

He’s had some better at bats lately as well. Hopefully this thing is starting to turn as far as the offense is concerned. One night does not a season make though. I want to see this on a regular basis.

Sipp is terrible. But instead of focusing on the negative like SOME people I will instead incline towards the positive as is my wont and celebrate the six hit effort. Not to be morbid, but it is entirely possible that none of us will ever see another Astro get six hits in a game.

That was way better than a cycle. The only individual offensive achievement I can think of that would surpass it might be a four home run day.

I am hoping the A's are helpful in waking the bats for a long time.  They may be just what the WS hangover (or whatever the reason is for the pre-2017 batting issues are) need.

I liked the Astros Twitter account asking MLB if they could count three of Springer’s singles as one triple.
