re: DAT 9/24: Astros (Lambert) @ A's (Barnett) 8:40

Unless Altuve goes on a heater and leads the team to a World Series, he needs to go ahead and eject himself as a player. Mascot, great! Baserunning coach, frick no. His time has passed, but what a run it was.

How long before the A’s take the lead again?

I live in the DAT. Why don’t you just tell me what we refused to take?

The Lucas Spence game!

Well, I’m glad he got one more hit than I thought he’d get.

I’ll never forget this night

It was ALWAYS going to be Lucas Spence trying to save the season.

I spent a couple days with him in Isla back when he was with the Twins, before his final stint with the Astros

Introduced him publicly to my friends as a 6 year 1st rounder for Astros out of Stanford that is considered the top pitch framer in MLB

My wife then shared with them later that he was my whipping boy and how often I bitched about him leading the league in Golden Sombreros. LOL

The Astros will hire him soon.

Then about a month into next season, he'll have that meeting with Crane.

9 outs without giving up 2 runs to avoid losing ground to the Rangers. One run sends it to extra innings which is the torture chamber.

Bolte, can I help you?
