OK, I'm back in town.  I'm drinking pina coladas and eating smoked fish spread, so hopefully that will bring them some luck.

With Carter gone, I think Gattis has taken the mantle for "most frustrating AB to watch".

Agreed.  Always hacking at shit and watching cookies. When he actually swings at ones he should (all too rare), he's pretty talented.

I wonder if the shift is as effective as the percentages would indicate when a pitcher is a soft tosser like Feldman. My guess is that it's not.

Instead of a quick 1,2,3 inning the A's have 2 on with one out because the Astros insist on moving infielders away from the place where infielders play.

Umm, maybe we shouldn't shift so hard if we're going to pitch on the outside of the plate?

I also wonder if their data is where the hitters usually hit, or where the hitters usually hit while facing a shift. There are definitely guys who are able and willing to beat a shift.

B2:

Davis grounds to 2B, no one is there on the shift...single
Vogt pops out F4
Crisp with a lazy ground ball to SS, but guess what...shift is on so no one is there...Davis to 2B
Coghlan strikes out swinging
Alonzo walks on four pitches, Davis to 3B, Vogt to 2B
Semien breaks his bat on a little pop to SS, Correa lets it drop at his feet, flips to 2B to force Alonzo on a VERY close play.

Fister has to get five outs, and the Astros still lead 1-0 after two

The force out at second with the bases loaded is the first instance of good fortune breaking the Astros' way in over a week.

That was a nice play by Burns. That's a difficult ball when you have to go straight back with no angle to judge it by.

Astros got a leadoff HR from Altuve, and the only other hit was Castro's broken bat flair single in the 3rd.  But it was enough.
