big k.

that inning was a beating.

onto the bullpen.  wonder how we cobble together 4 innings.  wish we had more guys who can go multiple.  this feels like a bielak time for the 6-7th.  i hate having to depend on 4-5 different guys for 4 innings.  both games we blew in the 8-2 streak were because of bullshit like that.

who are our setup men?  in a 3 run lead with everybody rested, who gets the 7th and who gets the 8th?  i'm honestly asking.

I'm guessing it will be Raley/Bielak/Abreu

    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Click and Dusty need to do the right thing.

 

He could hit .300 and steal 50 bases and still be a shitty baseball player.

man that's bleak.

i kinda want to see what javier can do airing it out for 1-2 innings in high leverage situations once our guys get back.  god knows odorizzi isn't a bullpen piece.

maybe we go tandem for sp5.

yeah but that is just my prediction for today, not the overall bullpen construction..

Bregs!  I wish we had a deep corner like that to actually reward guys for stinging it down the line.

Love this lineup. Still miss George, but so does Toronto.

if machete is somewhat competent.  not good, just halfway decent compared to his career averages, the lineup is filthy nasty.

In an everybody is rested scenario, I think Scrubb and/or Stanek would get in there before Bielak. And while he was absolute dogshit at the beginning of the season, Joe Smith has given up one run in the last month.

I think Dusty would love Abreu/Stanek/Smith/Presley with Raley as the situational replacement for his 6-9 inning guys. But obviously some of those names need to show some consistency.

And I agree Javier would be an intriguing bullpen option, but he needs to get the homers under control.

Does Stanton have it in his contract that he always gets to fondle a baseball on TV?

i think i agree with most of this.  in a perfect world, an effective joe smith is a 7th inning guy, and we need one more arm to emerge for the 8th.  doesn't need to be a new guy, but someone needs to fucking emerge.  maybe start with not walking people.

The Oakland tv announcers are saying that the umps are biased for the Astros, because they have worked 10 games in a row with them.

I was driving and the SiriusXM broadcast had the A's radio alternative reality pregame show.  They were babbling about Vida Blue being better than Nolan Ryan.

I think the Stanek we saw the first week or two of the season is our best bet for that 8th inning spot. I just have no idea if we’re gonna see that guy again.

Nope.

Straight gas won’t get anyone out, especially if you can’t even keep it straight.  

A’s may be the only fan base where the fewer they are, the more annoying they are.  

Impressive to throw 6 balls in one AB

Is it just me, or do the A's call for a shit-ton more batter's times-out than most teams?

Stanek thinks "Set up man" means for failure.

Lol look at this idiot

Thanks for the free run Elvis you dummy

Pressly cleans up the stanek. Two runs here would be nice.

nice insurance
