Wilson screwed up a sure fire double play. Hope that doesn't backfire on the A's.
This ump combined with the As... both want to give the Ms this game
Astros magic number to clinch the division is now 30 with the loss by Seattle.
Seamen lose
As win
A's helping the cause!
3 hits for that mighty Mariner offense over 10 innings tonight.
Astros 72-58
1st in AL Western division (+3.0 Seamen)
3rd AL seed (-5.5 Detroit, -4.0 Toronto)
8th best record in baseball

Chalk this one up to the "that's baseball for you" file.
My niece goes to Marquette. My brother is up there helping her move in this weekend. He's the biggest social recluse I know. He's been to 4 Astro games since 2009 despite living in Houston since 1993.
I have been on him to go see the Brewers play up there for 3 years. He finally gets motivated to do it after they had that hot streak and became the clear-cut best team in baseball.
He goes tonight, they're up 1-0 after 5 innings. Freddy Peralta, 15-5 with a 2.68 ERA on the mound, but he throws a ton of pitches and they lift him.
Then their great defense melts down with 2 errors in one inning allowing three unearned runs with one of their best relievers in.
So they put in a young guy who hasn't pitched since May and he gives up 4 more runs and the Giants rout them 7-1.

So Yordan will be activated on Tuesday v Rockies? They're not going to make him play a couple with Sugar Land are they?
Garcia has had 7 minor league rehab starts. Would guess he's close to returning.
Meyers? Doesn't sound like he's ready for a rehab assignment.
Hader, Sousa both shut down
Walter done
Rodgers on rehab assignment
Dezenzo about to go on one
Trammell back in September

He's been running on level ground.

Hopefully Arrighetti can go at least 5 on Sunday. Blubaugh being able to pitch 4 innings Saturday night was huge.
I guess Kimbrel would be postseason eligible? That is, if he works out

Any player in the organization (minors or major league) by 12am September 1 is postseason eligible

Impressive for Sanchez, especially considering that stretch of 7 games includes an insane 0fer streak

Let's hang 6 on him in the first.
It would be interesting to see Walker's stat line since his child was born. Seems like that was his pivot point.

He did it in 3 games. The 10 before he was 0-27 with 1 BB.
This scares me less than the guy with a 2-9 record and an ERA north of 5.5
Spenser kind of needs to pitch into the 6th today. Really through 6. Good or bad doesn't really matter. The pen needs a reset.
And it doesn't really matter what the game looks like today. Kimbrel is going to have to take an inning. He's a body and he's warm.

Arrighetti RHP
The Astros optioned AJ Blubaugh and recalled John Rooney.
— Matt Kawahara (@matthewkawahara) August 24, 2025
I don't like this... This means the can't come back for 15 days unless someone gets hurt
At the rate injuries happen on this team, he'll be back next week.

They need usable bodies in the pen and AJ would have been unusable for 3-4 days.
But I for one am not worried. The chances of no one being injured in the next 15 days are between slim and none.
Hell, the chances of that in 8 games is 0.00%

Especially since he's a southpaw.

Maybe I'm seeing things, but Walker's really been confident since Correa came back. Every time he gets a big hit, Correa is first guy greeting him in the dugout or at home. Correa came back July 31.
Walker in August has 6 HR and 17 RBI and is slugging .539.
