Last night, as Chris Issa said the in the game recap, the Astros clobbered the Oakland A’s, 16-2. Might I add, demolished, humiliated annihilated, extinguished, spoliated the Oakland A’s 16-2.
It was a historic performance, with George Springer achieving the rare 6 hit in a game plateau, the only Astro to do so in a nine inning game and, by the way, one of those was a 467 ft. dinger, Springer style.
It was the third largest margin of victory for the Astros since 2015 (what I call the CHAMPIONSHIP ERA), the fourth most runs, and the second highest WOBA in a game since the obliteration of the Minnesota Twins in the Memorial Day Weekend Massacre in 2017.
