Hernandez with a nice first inning, striking out the side, but it took 20 minutes. Hopefully it's not another slow motion marathon tonight.

Altuve doesn't look lost, exactly, but he's not making the kind of contact that we're accustomed to.

Wow, thank you A's for sending your slow guy with 1 out. Castro made a very nice play on that short hop.

Good defense there to cut down a runner at the plate. Nice glove work by Castro to handle that throw and make the tag.

Now another play at the plate, after Hernandez is too slow to cover 1B on a routine grounder to 1B...under review...confirmed. Two outs the plate that inning.

No score.

A's pick up a run on a couple of 2-out hits.

2-1 Astros.

He's been going after first pitches a lot lately, so this time he sat back and watched. Of course, it was pretty hittable, and he never saw another good pitch.

He certainly could be more selective, maybe walk more. He has such great hand eye coordination and timing, he'll be an even better player when he learns some plate discipline.

Burns with a broken bat single, but is picked off before the next pitch. He was safe at 2nd, but a really awkward slide had him roll off the bag and Altuve kept the glove on him.

Altuve steals second, but the umpires are inexplicably allowing Melvin a second challenge. Overturned, Altuve out.

I do not understand why the umpires allowed that.

I can only speculate that he "suggested" a review rather than "demanded" it?  Still, I agree with Ashby...that's a distinction without a difference.

On a side note, the Warriers' backup center is named "Festus".

That's the old Abad we know and love. Rasmus with a dinger of the 2-run flavor. Astros up 5-2 now.

I seemed out to have blacked out the two years Rodriguez pitched for the Astros.

He was the one that I dubbed the Angel of Doom.

A's announcers said that the crew chief called for the replay.

Only after Melvin went out and argued for it. That's supposedly against the rules now.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Oh, must have been focused on the Rockets while that went on.  I too now have no idea why that was allowed.

I think McBrag tweeted the manager can ask for it, but it's up to the ump to decide to get the replay or not in that situation.

I remember that label, but since that was an accurate description of a number the relievers, I guess I didn't link it to him.

But he had some particularly memorable implosions. The kid has good stuff, but he lacks consistent command. He's a classic AAAA player.
