Stupid walks will kill ya

Leadoff hitter. After having him down 0-2

Well let’s say this: maybe and hopefully Geoff Blum is right and the A’s starting pitching can’t keep it up, but their fucking offense came to play.
-
Leadoff hitter. After having him down 0-2
He fouled off a lot of tough pitches and got maybe a call. It was a good AB.
-

Correa singles to CF
Marwin flies out F8 at the track...just missed it
White...3-0...swings at ball four and grounds into FC, Correa out 5-4 at 2B
Gattis grounds out 6-3
2-0 A's
-
Someone else will have to do PBP for a while
-
4-0 A's
-
Well, tomorrow is a must win.
-
Cole getting hit pretty hard. This is gonna be a long night.
-
Dang, that could have been bad for Bregman.
The home runs are bad enough.
-
A’s don’t miss fat pitches. We don’t swing at them.
-
God dammit. This is sickening.
-
It's the goddamn batter's eye.
-
A’s don’t miss fat pitches. We don’t swing at them.
The A's are legit. There could be a team win 100 games this year and not make the postseason.
-
The A's are on a pace to win this game 12-0.
-
Cole’s been pretty average his last half dozen starts.
-
Good to see Chapman isn't perfect.
-
There’s a pulse.
-
Back-to-back doubles by Springer and ABreg half the deficit.

Whatever it is it pales (pails?) in comparison to *thumbs-up Houston*, which I am proud to say adorns the chest of one of my favorite shirts.

He had to go for that base on a liner to the wall with two outs. The world is still just getting to know Laureano.

I think it's a reference to "driving in" runs. But I"m not sure. It's pretty fucking stupid.

I heard it said once—can’t remember which august baseball personage said it, but it was someone eminently qualified—that Victor Martinez was the smartest hitter this guy’d ever seen, and that the thing with Victor was that he was a “guess hitter” who guessed right a lot. Correa has the look to me of someone who mostly guesses but whose batting IQ isn’t yet doing him many favors.

When you're not ready to hit a 2-2 fastball, something is very wrong with your approach.

He took the 3-0 he should’ve swung at the first time, then took the one he DID swing at, then walked. I thought it was good, especially with Gattis on deck...
...who promptly rendered the whole thing moot.

He took two hittable pitches with two out and a RISP. His job is to drive runs in. Situational. Hitting.

I’m saying he burned himself swinging 3-0 the first time at the pitch he took on 3-1 that time. I agree he could’ve abused the 3-0 pitch there but I don’t blame him for being shy after the earlier 3-0.

B8:
Trivino in for the A's...
Reddick lines to LF, Martini has it bounce off his glove, picks it up and throws it back in WAY over the cutoff man, and Reddick takes off for 2B...the throw bounces WAY over the first baseman's head...Reddick slides into 2B and gets up to dust himself off, realizes the ball is against the wall and moves to 3B on the single/2-base TE7
Maldonado...0-2...strikes out swinging
Springer...infield in...0-2 swinging at two sliders 9 feet off the plate, helmet flying off...finally lays off that pitch to make it 1-2...2-2...3-2...nothing close to the plate yet...walks
Bregman homers to RF on the first pitch...Reddick scores, Springer scores
Altuve walks
Trivino out, Pagan in
Correa...0-2...grounds into FC, Altuve out 5-4 at 2B
Marwin...3-0...walks, Correa to 2B
White...1-2...contact lens rolling around in his eye...ready now...homers to LF...Correa scores, Marwin scores
Gattis ...3-2...pops out F6
But the Astros hit the pay station six times...head to the 9th leading 11-4

The Reddick little league triple was agonizing to listen to, but hilarious to see on video. Everybody in the stadium but him knew he should have been hightailing it to third.
And after all that he got to trot home.

Bregman is the definition of a complete player. A gold glove caliber defender and a guy whose swing and approach at the plate is a thing of beauty. Others on the team, like Springer, could learn a lot from his approach at the plate.

Agreed. Pressly's breaking pitches, in particular, are outstanding.
