Anyone else think they could have gotten the force at home?
Then De Los Santos was going to have to hit with 2 outs
Ah I thought it was bases loaded for some reason
But if they only get the force at home, the pitcher's spot was next and we were out of pinch hitters
Agreed. You also dont slide feet first into a tag.Ags #1 said:
I don't care who was on 3rd. If u bunt there u put him in motion
Good thing ol' BigPete wanted the O's to get rid of Urias.
So whose fault is that? Serious question

They were afraid of the De Los Santos granny!
Sorry if I came off as rude
this game went off the rails when Espada used 3 straight pinch-hitters in the 8th
that was a desperation / panic move
Cam should have stayed in and led off the inning

Get some rest. You've got Dean Kramer next. This guy is lights out against the Astros. Fresh off 8 innings of great baseball vs Mariners

You didn't. I was just trying to figure out what you meant.
Sometimes the alcohol makes the letters move.
Ahahahahaha for sure

That bird is ass up, face down with a smile. What did Orbit do?!?!?
Caratini, the LAST remaining player on the bench, hit for Sanchez but didn't play defense for Sanchez. Altuve, the DH, played for Sanchez therefore the pitcher had to replace Sanchez in the batting order.redline248 said:
Now that it's over, can someone explain how we ended up with the pitcher about to hit
Peña's back
Sounds like Jake and Yordan about to start rehab assignments, maybe
That could put their return maybe next weekend at Baltimore, or the following home stand v Rockies, Angels, and Yankees.

Am I the only one concerned Carlos has the back/core massager on in the dugout? His swings in extra didn't look that great either. Wonder if he has a day off tomorrow?
Would be nice if De La Orgy pans out. Dubin is just garbage and Sousa shtting the bed tonight was unwelcome

Arrighetti and Brown get the first two v Tigers presumably
Then I guess McCullerd or Garcia coming off the DL?
Hunter vs. Skubal Tuesday night
must see TV
The good guys won without Hader. Hats off to Abreu, Ort, Okert, King and De Los Santos for good clutch relief pitching. Sousa has been pretty reliable until tonight but hopefully he'll get it back together moving forward.
Jason Alexander with 3rd straight quality start
McCullerd and Garcia have to be returning next week

Future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander with his best start since May 12, 2024:

7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 8 K, 88 pitches.
Thought it was definitely Urias's fault for not having a bigger jump. 3B wasn't holding on Urias at 3rd and with a lefty up his back was Urias so really no chance of pickoff. I have to believe the whole squad knew the bunt call was on, so no reason to not have a huge jump there.Ags #1 said:

That would align well too with another poster's comments about Urias's slow baseball brain impacting several aspects of his game, including baserunning

This 3-15 RISP has to stop. Lucky for us they were 0-14. Very lucky both pitches in De Los Santos 2 pitch inning were hit hard.
Jim Crane always would
Space Cowboys have one more home game tomorrow then on road in Iowa
Hooks are in Amarillo and then at home next week.
If Yordan was able to take live ABs "with no issues" then why not get in a rehab game tomorrow in Sugar Land then head to Detroit to join the team?

I'll take an ugly ass win over a beautiful loss any day of the week!
No question.
Do have to marvel at the Astro Pitching Program
Some 32 year old pitcher named Jason Alexander who had an 18.00 ERA in 4 appearances with the A's earlier this season turns in 3 quality starts in August, 2 runs total, and it's just ho hum, of course.

Assuming starters on the DL return in next couple of weeks then you have nine starters. So some decisions to be made but presumably the bullpen will get some additions.
Framber
Brown
Javier
Arrighetti
Alexander
McCullerd
Garcia
Walter

With Abreu as closer the set up man role is wide open. Sousa just submitted a flaming bag of shtt tonight.
We needed that bad.
Problem is if the Giants release JV so he can join a playoff club there would a team ahead of the Astros in the waiver claim order who would claim him
And yes, as of now starting pitching is not as much of a need but can never have enough quality pitching in the postseason

Hey Yordan, you're DHing in Sugar Land tomorrow.
