greg775 1,240 Posted September 17, 2015 I won't blame Avi for that. I mean kind of a fluke there. He had it. I never question Avi's effort just his hitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg775 1,240 Posted September 17, 2015 For some reason this game has felt like a loss all the way through. Now it is a loss. When it was 2-1 I had to remind myself Sox were winning. Â This Sox team blows. Prospects of next year just as dismal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balta1701 2,909 Posted September 17, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 04:40 PM) I never understood why day games are scheduled during the week. The attendance will always be low because most people will be at work or school. Because tomorrow night the A's have to play in Houston and a direct flight is just under 3 hours, so if teams play until 10 pm they don't get into the hotel until 3 a.m., and occasionally games do go into extra innings where they'd get in at 4-6 a.m. Â It costs teams money so not every team is nice enough to schedule the day game on a travel day, but it really is professional courtesy. If you want other teams to treat your guys well so that they're not getting into the hotel at 4:00 am before their next game, then you sacrifice some ticket sales to treat their guys well. Â If we were in a playoff race, we'd be flying to Cleveland, losing an hour for the time zone shift after tonight's game, so we'd be getting in at 1-2 a.m. and we'd be unhappy if our guys came out sluggish.

elrockinMT 282 Posted September 17, 2015 The only difference between Addison Reed and David Robertson is the contract. What has Robertson given up the last two games versus the A's? Seven runs I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! 1,383 Posted September 17, 2015 Pinch running for Flowers there makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Â 1. That isn't the tying run. 2. If they do tie it and it goes to extras, who will catch? Soto is the DH today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
