I don't understand our insistence on stealing. That's definitely not our strength, and those caught stealings just take pressure off the pitcher. I don't want to give up baserunners without a fight.

Stealing bags is a good thing.  I wish they did more of it.  But you gotta know your limitations too.

And our limitations are extensive. Springer is not a good base stealer. This team has decent overall speed, but no real burners. Altuve, Marisnick, and maybe Fisher are the only guys with anything near plus-plus speed. And their base-stealing instincts aren't exactly Bagwellian. It just seems like a losing proposition with this group.

I guess the Astros don't know that they're allowed to swing at first pitch fastballs right down the middle.

Man I like Stassi behind the plate.  He's so quiet, and funnels the ball towards his chest.  THAT'S how you frame a pitch.

Probably because he's wearing leg guards, but not wrist guards.

Knee has a bit more meat on it. Unless it hits straight on the cap, shouldn't be too bad. Anytime a ball hits your wrist though... that shits painful

Hatcher takes the pea for the A's...

Stassi...3-0...3-1...3-2...flies out F8
Marisnick...0-2...grounds out 5-3

With Springer at the plate, the home plate ump takes a foul ball off his wrist/forearm and has to come out of the game.  We'll be working with three blues from here on out...

Springer grounds out 6-3

Boston took Marwin Rule 5 from Cubs and flipped him to Houston on the same day for Marco Duarte. I did not know you could take a Rule 5 and flip him since you have to return him if he is not on your ML roster all year. I guess Houston would have to return him to Cubs if they did not keep him all year.

Correct.  He can be traded, but the same rule applies to the receiving club.

Good time for Altuve to take 2B...

This Chapman guy looks interesting. I wonder if he's going to turn into another Donaldson.

He's flashed some leather tonight.

B8:

Bunch of defensive changes for the A's because of the pinch hitters, but Hatcher still on the hill...

Bregman hammers the ball to 3B, but Chapman gives him a taste of his own medicine with a nice stop...5-3
Altuve singles up the middle
Gurriel grounds out 5-3, Altuve to 2B
Altuve steals 3B
Marwin...3-0...pops out F3 in foul territory by the dugout

3-1 Astros

If you hack at a 3-0 pitch, you'd better not pop out to the first baseman.

Radio guys were saying that his first few starts back off the DL he was so sore for the next few days he couldn't even throw a bullpen, but that has abated and he feels 100 percent now.

Pretty uneventful...the inning was shaping up badly for Devo, so he was going to Giles as soon as Giles was ready.  I guess that meant mid-at bat too.  Also implied that had Giles had to work harder in the 8th, he would not have pitched the 9th.
