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.

Wtf Yuli?

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #4 on:** May 31, 2019, 09:36:04 pm »

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.

Kinda crickets tonight.
10-pitch AB, White made him work.

Single, walk, gidp, flyball for the A's.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #9 on:** May 31, 2019, 09:52:22 pm »

Jake with a 1 out walk and a stolen base.

Slide was very ploppy.

Fisher Ks (foul tip).

Up to Bregman.

Very nice sliding catch on a foul pop by White to end the inning.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2019, 10:25:19 pm »

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.

Kemp caught stealing to end the top of the 5th.

Got a face full of Siemian's leg for his trouble.

A's stand one.

Still 2-0.

End 5.

(Any time now, offense)

WVastro · « **Reply #22 on:** May 31, 2019, 10:41:45 pm »

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?

Reddick blast makes it 2-1.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #26 on:** May 31, 2019, 11:09:35 pm »

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/Straw 2020!

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #28 on:** May 31, 2019, 11:14:13 pm »

Kemp doubles over Grossman's head in left.

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

Tied 2-2.

WVastro · « **Reply #29 on:** May 31, 2019, 11:15:31 pm »

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.

Leadoff double, sac bunt, Blue star 6-3, and 4-3 ends the threat.

Still tied at 2.

Mid 8.

Astros 3-2.

Pressly time.

Kemp gets into the act.

Nice diving stop/throw for out #2 in the 8th.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #46 on:** May 31, 2019, 11:45:09 pm »

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!

It’s a good thing nobody has suggested the nickname “Assume-a” as that would certainly anger the BBG’s.

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.
