I'm at the game today and they are celebrating the 2002 A's for some reason complete with cheesy sparklers and Art Howe video call-in.

That team won 103 games including 20 straight. Lost the ALDS to Minnesota in 5.

If the strikeout looking is any indication, Carlos is back, baby!!!

At least this one might be over early.

Well that should do it.

Trevor Cahill is the greatest pitcher in a generation...
I’m going to go buy some calamari.

Marwin breaks out his patented unsuccessful bunt for a hit strategy.

His numbers at home this year are ridiculously good.

Did anybody else hear that This American Life where they dedicated the entire episode to investigating whether pig
anus was sometimes pedaled as calamari?

Yeah. Doppelgängers was the episode name, I think.

Didn't hear that one but fake seafood in restaurants (cheap fish for expensive, etc...) not unheard of at all.
-
calamari has the texture and tenderness of what I imagine garden hose would have. Or maybe I need to go to better places?

Well, the Astros have about 3 more outs before the A's pen comes into play.

So far the Astros have substituted pig anus for offense.

What a terrible performance to follow up the gut punch loss last night.
At least it was a team effort.

Good news is, if we can somehow win tomorrow, we’ll still be in the lead.
Gotta stay positive. Right?

Bad time for Bad Keuchel to show up.
-
4 doubles in the inning. We won’t have that many in the whole series. Very few ground balls today for Keuchel = disaster.
-
On the bright side, perhaps Kalas will now shut the fuck up about how many at bats Maldonado will get in the postseason.

The entire Astros lineup has their heads firmly up their ass right now. Can’t expect pitchers to be perfect every time out.

The answer to that question is the same as the number under the "R" in the Astros linescore right now.

One baserunner, who reached on an infield hit.
Pig anus.

What's Bregman doing over there on the field?
Is he trying to defect?
Get back in the dugout, Alex! Stick to the gameplan!

More issues than National Geographic.

Astros working on another 5 game losing streak? Likely. This A’s team is really good. Solid pitching and defense. Offense so hot even the outs are smoked.

*If* the DL gets unloaded and our regulars are back its gonna be a 4-5 game deficit with about a month to play.

Never said I expected the pitchers to be perfect. When down 5 runs feels like down 15 runs, the team has issues.

Zero.
The A's won't get a chance to bat.
-
One infield hit? Had hoped last night’s demoralizing loss would have shaken up this gutless offense.
-
8 innings, and A's pitching has faced 1 batter over the minimum.
PIG ANUS!

Yeah, it is starting to look that way.

5 run 9th might not help anyway.

Wonder what would happen if Peacock threw a FB right down the middle.
Oh yeah, that.

Good baseball crowd and nicer stadium than I was led to believe. Sorry I couldn't help out on the field.

The core of the A's lineup may be worn out from all that running they did today.

You should have asked for an AB.
Glad it was otherwise nice.

I know we’ve been batting injuries, and I know this probably goes against what has been successful for this team in past, but as long as we take passive AB’s and work pitchers and counts we will continue to struggle in my opinion. Go up there and swing at the first damn strike you see. Be aggressive and swing the fucking bats.
Correa’s last at bat is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. He’s up 2-0, takes a belt high flat fastball down the middle, and then on the next pitch swings at an off-speed pitch and nubs it into a double play.
Quit letting the damn pitchers get in front by watching. BE AGGRESSIVE PLEASE!!!

What you and Blanch the pig do is your business.
We do thank you for taking one for the team though.
