Title: Astros at A's- May 31, 2019
Post by: Astros Fan in Big D on May 31, 2019, 09:24:13 pm
Peacock got the first 2 outs quickly,  then forgot how to throw a strike and walked 2 before getting a flyball to deep center.

No score after 1.

I like that swing by Yuli.

Yes,  the result probably colors my opinion, but I like him being not trying to lift that.

Chapman with an E5 on a dp ball.

Please take advantage.

Yuli takes off way too early,  gets picked off.

Boneheaded play.

White battles from 0-2 to a full count.  Fouled off several but eventually flies out to center.  That's the inning.

Brantley leadoff single followed by some stuff that did not result in any runs (had to step away).

A's get a 2 out single and nothing else.

Still 2-0.  Heading to the 5th.

Matt Olson’s stance reminds me of  Shawn Green. Holds the bat high and over the plate. I hated Shawn Green...

Eta: anyone remember the time he basically left his elbow IN the strike zone. Got hit. Then proceeded to throw a hissy fit that ended up in some crazy nonsense between the Dodgers and Astros?

White got under a true center cut 90 mph FB.

Even he was frustrated he didn't cover it.

Worked a walk,  but he will not see a better pitch to hit all season.

Kemp doubles over Grossman's head in left.

Straw (running for White) whizzes around to score from first.
He fast.

Tied 2-2.

What a beautiful baseball moment that was. Great call by Hinch to put Straw in that situation, Kemp knew exactly what he wanted to do and did it. Bravo.

Merely an observation,  not a complaint:

HPU's zone has been consistently small.  Neither team getting calls on the edges.

Consistency is appreciated.

Yes!
White, Mayfield, and Kemp came through on the field, Straw on the bases, and Fisher with the bat.
Good backups!

Zero hits from the A's after Mayfield's great play in the 7th, one hit since the 5th inning!  (Courtesy of the A's announcers.)
The games are tighter w/o the MBP's, but they are sweet with the surprises from the subs....

What a fantastic team win.  What a horoughly enjoyable game of baseball that was to watch, great grilling and beer drinking weather on the backyard deck too.   That 5pm shower really made for a pleasant night.
