[eChameleon]

That was certainly a baseball game.

 

[Tondo]

This will remain the dumbest loss of this season...can't be beat

 

[Funny Man Rocco]

Somehow the tribe were more embarrassing than the Athletics. Jesus Christ.

 

[CATS44]

As bad of a baseball game that I have seen in a long time.

walk off walk..ends this weird contest.. could/should been better..

 

[Soar]

This is when you flush the toilet and just move on to the next city and forget this game ever happened

It’s been three years now(4?) and I just do not trust Eli Morgan.

Can anyone vouch for him as actually being worth a spot in the pen (and I felt this way before today)

 

[Real Deal]

Great learning experience for Vogt.

Got back from walking the dog just in time to see the "walk" off. Fitting first win for these A's, glad we fought back into it late. Let's win the next series!

Yes, me. Go look up his career RP stat, they're better than Stephan's.

 

[CBBI]

If the plan was to run a squeeze in that spot, I am at the very least comfortable questioning the decision to not pinch hit.

Feels like Freeman, or honestly even Hedges may have been better choice to lay down a bunt there.

But my sense is that Arias tried that on his own, and Naylor just got confused/had a brain fart moment.

 

[MirORich]

Shit day of sports between the Cavs and Guardians.

Still a 3-1 series win, and you’ll take a series win every time

On to Seattle

Barlow isn't good.

Dont see him lasting all year.

I think that's what happened and that begs the question Wtf was Arias thinking? He fooled/forced his teammate into an error. What the fuck was he thinking? Here's the answer: nothing, he fucked up and it backfired big time, then backed it up with a piss poor AB to go from a gifted run/game to 2 outs and game lost. Wonderful.

You don't bunt with anybody. period. No reason to. You pinch hit Fry or Freeman and you swing away. Why in the world would you not pinch hit or your weakest hitter? Makes no sense at all.
