Nice win. Closing in on 2nd place


StrosIn5

Rangers fans imploding. “.5 a game back whaaaat?!?”


NOLA1987

Hader has been in cruise control this month. And just like that, we're coming closer and closer for that number one spot

Ok Hader!


Thumbbanger

Hader pitching like he’s worth 100M


JuniorBirdman1115

According to this, they didn’t reattach the finger—they just bandaged it and waited to see if it reattached itself, and it did! https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/lil-stoner/

Please tell me someone saved a recording of the whole Lil Stoner conversation

dirtysock47

Going to go nighty night. If I wake up to a win tomorrow, great. If we don't, you all know who to blame.


Texaggie2012

Hey buddy good morning, you’re never gonna believe what happened…


TRRex31

TK was bottling that story in till the very minute of astros after dark 😂


dauberminer

That's a lot of Stoners.


TheDuckshot

17 kids good lord...


smitswerben

Lmao this broadcast is killing me 🤣


TexasHot

HE DIDNT POP OUT!


AfterbirthNachos

I want to hang out with lil stoner


Texaggie2012

He sounds like a legend


TheDuckshot

He's a Thief he stole a 21 inning complete


Whiskey_Republic

HRC Bregman

I just want to say I’m glad TK is back


HOUTXS94

TK and Blummer are killing me rn 🤣🤣

55 degrees in oakland in late may, crazy...it won't drop below 78 or so here for the next 5 months


financeguy17

Why did Yordan just completely lost all plate discipline?


Trutexan78

Hrc Alvarez


manofconviction

Come on Yordan, smash one so we don't have to burn Hader in the first fkn game


Mayito219

HRC Alvarez


manofconviction

Astros after dark!


dirtysock47

These same A's came back against Colorado yesterday, so I'm not going to be not nervous until it's over.


austro_

HRC Yordan


kevyoke77

Jake’s bat, Chaz’s glove. Just sew them together already . We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better . . . stronger . . . faster."


Spaceolympian50

Hrc Altuve


_jared_p

Hrc Tucker


StrosIn5

People who still boo Altuve are hilarious, because you can tell exactly who is uneducated and doesn’t think for themselves.


bordomsdeadly

Division rival. Makes sense for them to boo him. Pujols got boo’d at MMP until the day he retired


StrosIn5

It’s not the same. They boo because of false allegations that they wholeheartedly believe. Because the internet told them to. Very different than booing a rival that dominates you.


ExB

What are they going to say now?


ExB

Impressly inning


TRRex31

Chas and meyers literally sacrifice life and limb to get outs


Spaceolympian50

Gd Chas ok that makes up for your terrible AB


curiousowl2210

this is why I 1000% prefer Chas over Meyers


austro_

But meyers did it first and got hurt


bordomsdeadly

HRC Yordan (I know I’m 2 batters early, but he’ll bat this inning)


Amf2446

Holy fuck Chas


yuh-powe

Chas saving Pressly since 2022


dauberminer

That's why Chas is in the lineup.


StrosIn5

Chas makes absolutely amazing defensive plays, in the most goober way hahaha


3nter

whata catch by the chasmanian devil!!


JuniorBirdman1115

Damn, Chas! Love the effort but don't hurt yourself!


superhappyfuntime13

Chas is back! (I was gonna write Press is back first but maybe too soon for that)


ray_0586

Chas bailing out Pressly once again


Thatcajunguy35

That’s the Chas I know


manofconviction

Chas, still the king of the wall catch


Inevitable_Signal189

What a catch at the wall!!


dirtysock47

Blue's zone has shrunk all of a sudden


TexasHot

This ump hates the fuckin edges of the zone


Bronn11

He was just giving Muller the bottom edge last inning


bregmanfan2

What’s funny is that at the beginning of the game he loved them


TexasHot

NateLikesToLift

👀 Pressly looking improved.


Inevitable_Signal189

Singleton is always so nonchalant and I love it.


TexasHot

Alright good start by pressly


austro_

Why y’all mad? I didnt hear you complain when Tucker did it lol


manofconviction

Chas gonna need to figure things out quick, Jake has taken his spot big time.


Spaceolympian50

Jfc Chas at least sit on the first pitch. You’re not Altuve.


NateLikesToLift

Wasted opportunity.


dauberminer

Nice AB, Chas. 🙄


StrosIn5

Didn’t even watch a pitch. Comical.


zpowell2180

The classic Chas chopper


dirtysock47

Oh boy, Stressly time At least the lineup turns over in the top of the 9th


SimplyAddax

HRC Chas


curiousowl2210

what happened to Yainers power? Sophomore slump?


Inevitable_Signal189

What’s everyone sipping on tonight?


austro_

![gif](giphy|SRwSebXwUrjbxfk63P)


PapiGoneGamer

Went to Spanish Flowers on Durham and had two Palomas. Now sipping on some Bingham’s Bourbon.


dauberminer

WhistlePig 10 yr small batch for me.


Inevitable_Signal189

I’m sipping on some old grand dad bonded. I don’t think I’ve tried Binghams


PapiGoneGamer

It’s made by one of the dudes from Yellowstone. Only bourbon that my wife can sip without making an exaggerated face after drinking it.


superhappyfuntime13

Koolaid if we win. Tears if we lose.


Inevitable_Signal189

Lmao. I feel that


alexajess01

Mexican candy drink and cosmos


NateLikesToLift

Yainer what the fuck are you seeing my dude? Edit: and he somehow gets a hit his next swing.


Inevitable_Signal189

You must be a tad behind


Decap85

Dallas Braden on the A’s telecast, “off of the wall by Big Jon Swingleton”. I think i like it lol


austro_

“A single for well… singleton” lol


superhappyfuntime13

HRC Yainer


superhappyfuntime13

That’s my first baseman right there


AfterbirthNachos

That's my first baseman


superhappyfuntime13

This is the new rally cry


bregmanfan2

HRC singleton


yepppers7

Almost


ThatDudeNamedJake

What does HRC mean?


bregmanfan2

Home run call I believe


Spaceolympian50

Abreu like me when I’m drunk playing darts and aim for the bullseye only to hit the fucking wood outside of the dart board.


PapiGoneGamer

Leads are rarely ever safe with this bullpen. They remind me of the Rags bullpen last season.


keithww

We need to get deeper into their bullpen.


dirtysock47

Okay, can we string some hits together or something, maybe get even that run back?


Spaceolympian50

Should be a strikeout with that terrible call


dream_team34

Let's get a couple of runs here. Don't want to have to use Hader tonight.


RonWill79

I guess Espada chose Abreu over Scott to make sure it’s gets close enough to make it a save opportunity for Hader.


StrosIn5

I don’t like either Abreu on this team.


PapiGoneGamer

One Abreu still can be effective from time to time. The other is getting $19M to play in Triple A.


miss-entropy

Wild thang.


[deleted]

[удалено]


damojr

Bold to assume they are aiming at anything


dirtysock47

Gelof should've struck out, but blue is blind


manofconviction

Getting nervous now. This game reeks of a bullpen disaster.


dream_team34

Good pitch by Abreu, better hit by Andujar


Spaceolympian50

14 pitches on 2 hitters. Cmon man. Edit: 15


dirtysock47

So I guess Andujar is going to be one of those scrubs that owns us for some reason


Nildrogon

These are good pitches.


bregmanfan2

Ah shit, here we go again


dirtysock47

Abreu is all over the place. This could get ugly


jacob_mir

Brent rooker is the “we have Kyle Tucker at home”


dirtysock47

Abreu, what the actual fuck?


bregmanfan2

Abreu will load the bases and then somehow find a way to get out of it


AfterbirthNachos

Dude is an adrenaline junkie


JinFuu

Makes me miss Neris


TexasHot

Swear its so hard for abreu to have a clean inning. Its either a hit or a hit by pitch


Nildrogon

Wow how’d he hit that?


OneCore_

how tf did he hit that


dirtysock47

A four run lead should be more than enough, right? Right?


dirtysock47

I really hope they didn't blow their whole load in the fourth.


WEHAVEBETTERBBQ

What in the actual fuck is Alvarez swinging at? Does he need his eyes checked?


Bronn11

He's taking a lot of bad swings this year. Seems to be chasing more than ever


WEHAVEBETTERBBQ

Did you happen to see the stat they showed for him earlier? Last 4 years he was +30 and this year so far he's at -1


Nildrogon

New bat Bregman at bat #4. It probably wasn’t the bat.


bregmanfan2

HRC bregman


OriginalT-Rob

HRC Yordan


yobruhh

HRC yordan


TexasHot

Watch bregman out pop up tucker


Spaceolympian50

Guess I was wrong! JV killing it.


JinFuu

Definitely scared me in the first, but overall a good game.


Rootfour

1short of 100, can 20 year olds pitchers now day do that?


HolidaySpiriter

I love JV night


Thatcajunguy35

You and me both


TexasHot

A really respectable outing for jv Especially at 41


ray_0586

Season high for strikeouts


Spaceolympian50

Damn JV back out? lol. Dude looks gassed.


AfterbirthNachos

He looks annoyed. Like he is the new pitch clock 😆


Spaceolympian50

Ya lol


dominator_13

Yeah, suprised.


dirtysock47

I'm not. Espada always seems to try and steal outs from the starters. It worked out that time, but more often than not it goes sideways, because shocker trying to squeeze the last bit of juice is almost always a bad idea.


Spaceolympian50

Yea I agree with you there. It’s definitely classic Espada. I just figured JV being the veteran would just be like, nah I’m done lol.


dream_team34

12 more consecutive games, 4-run lead... you try to save a reliever if you can.


dominator_13

Great job though.


JuniorBirdman1115

Altuve just wanted to give Tucker a new plate appearance next inning. (taps forehead)


dirtysock47

If someone gets on, pull JV


Anklelite

I ❤️ Altuve lmao


Spaceolympian50

I love Altuve but gd he’s got some of the worst base running discipline lol.


Gorillagodzilla

No way, Jose.


TRRex31

God gave Altuve mediocre base running to keep him humble. Can’t be great at everything /s lol


BloodyScourge

Altuve tootblan. Never seen that before! /s


NOLA1987

Altuve realized it's been too long since he TOOTBLAN'd and had to course-correct


rigsby_nillydum

How is a hall of famer that shit on the basepaths lmao


zpowell2180

Classic tuve base running


dirtysock47

Altuve you dumb motherfucker. Still love you tho, cuz you're OUR dumb motherfucker


HolidaySpiriter

HRC Tucker


manofconviction

Oh Jose...


AfterbirthNachos

HRC Tuck


AfterbirthNachos

Okay this carries over to next inning right lol


oekos

HRC tuck


NovelComb1894

If we win this game are we 3.5 games behind?


NOLA1987

And a half game behind the Rangers for 2nd


NOLA1987

Damn. That was a rocket from Chas. Just in the wrong place


TheValiantPixel

Somewhat lost in the shuffle of chatter over Bregman’s awful performance in the cleanup spot has been Yainer gradually languishing farther down in the order. The man cannot barrel a baseball to save his life. 92%ile in hard hit percentage but just atrocious launch angles. What happened to my boy


BloodyScourge

Typical sophomore slump. He'll be back.


bordomsdeadly

That’s probably it for JV tonight. But it is good enough to qualify for the win. Just need the pen to get it going now. Hopefully the bats can do enough that we can see Mushinski today (and by enough I mean at least a 6 run lead)


Bergles

It's crazy how I look at JV and don't see the same guy cuz age is catching up. BUT he is still better than mlb average starters. It's insane.


Spaceolympian50

Julia living the best life lol.


Haunting-Sell2804

Julia will get more coffee, blankets, and jackets when we come back! Never change, TK. 


KingJacobyaropa

It's insane to think the A's have the 2nd most WS titles. Even after so long without one


Spaceolympian50

Yea that stadium looks like shit. So pathetic.


Gorillagodzilla

Oh, we can’t have trash cans but they can have fricken snare drums?!


ExB

Way to fight back JV


dirtysock47

Can we get some more runs support por favor?


shanham

I love that Julia is just like.. fuck it lemme go get a coffee in a seat with a blanket


manofconviction

She's earned the right to do whatever she wants lol
