He is a lot cheaper too.

AV doesn’t swing at 2 fastballs in the zone but swings at a slider out of the zone to strike out. Look forward to Engel being back.

Cesar is out of the doghouse. Vaughn takes his place.

Dodged a bullet. Super Joe very aggressive with no outs.

Its 68 degrees in Oakland now. Is that too cold for Jose.?

Would have been another double play if there were less than 2 outs. We have left 8 on so far tonight, primarily between Eloy, Sheets and Vaughn.

Looks like even Hernández is preferable to Vaughn. Let’s bat Vaughn 9th. If at all.

Actually nowadays I prefer Leury with RISP than Vaughn.

It’s so bad that it would be a good idea of giving him a take sign. Maybe he gets ahead of the count or gets a walk.

Need to have Grandal hitting cleanup. He is our hottest hitter by far and also a switch hitter.

I am glad Goodwin was not playing CF in the first inning. A’s probably would have had an inside the park homer. Not with La Pantera though.

Time to flip with Grandal hitting cleanup. Eloy has not been on, the last few games.

Anderson is the King of Swag. Would add Eloy “Hi Mom” Jimenez to the list.

I also agree. We giveaway too much outfield D with Goodwin, Vaughn and Sheets In the outfield. Need Engel I there as often as possible.

They got a bad rep in the Charley Finley era.

Like this lineup. No Goodwin,Mendick or Sevy. Doesn’t qualify as a Sunday lineup with our current roster.

Should have tried hit and running at least with Moncada at first. We almost hit into double plays twice with our station to station offense.

Does not look good for the Sox with those starters. Pls minimize Sunday lineups. It is bad enough.

It’s hard to comeback with crappy defense on the field from Sheets and Goodwin as seen today. It is hard to win games with a Sunday line with four bad defenders on the field at the same time.

And that only with no men on. They threw him fastballs for 3 three run homers and one two run homer.

Who is accountable for letting Salvy hit 4 homers in 3 games this series? When are we going to learn and adjust?. He had to be intentionally walked in the first. Set up a double play and avoid a potential 3 run homer, which became a reality.

On top of his terrible D, he takes a third strike KO in his first at bat. Hope Engel gets back in soon, and we don’t see Goodwin starting again, regardless of matchups.

They have the confidence that we have give them, that they can beat us. Give up 4 homers to Salvy in 3 games shows them that we are stupid and beatable.

The issue is not to throw him a fastball. If Cease cannot throw him anything else then you must walk him in that situation. This is ridiculous this guy alone has hit 4 homers against the Sox in this series, three of them 3 run homers. Give him the Barry Bonds treatment. TLR intentionally walked Nelson Cruz to load the bases with men on first and second, but not Salvy with men on second and third. When are we going to adjust, we look like the most stubborn and stupid team around.

No surprise. He gets exposed in almost every game.
