QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Man that Oakland defense is UGLY. Even the Melky out that inning was a near throwing error

I love this A's defense...however, Avi could have been ruled out there

Looking like the smallest strike zone in history today

Not quite sure why Melky's batting 3rd vs LHP.

Bonifacio is great at the push bunts. Also, Rowand might want to avoid the suicide jokes for a second straight game

Hell yes...great job by Robertson! Huge kudos to Ventura for going with the 4 out save.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2015 -> 04:09 AM) It's hard to imagine going 2 for 40. Ask Noah about his shooting vs Cavs

Oh dear, stop it saying they need to retaliate. Last thing Sox need is Samardzija with that on his mind tomorrow.

Jose showing he's about the nicest person ever by asking the catcher if he was ok after Jose got HBP

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2015 -> 04:56 AM) Robertson's fastball velocity seemed a bit low in that sequence to Lowrie. Has been for about last 10 days. Needs to spot it well in the 9th.

Whew! Time for insurance

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 17, 2015 -> 04:49 AM) Duke, Jennings and Petricka need to get better Jennings has been great against righties. As for Petricka, his numbers will even out a bit, but he needs to find a way to strike out hitters. Only 4 in 10 innings.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2015 -> 03:47 AM) Do you go to Robertson now? absolutely

Some soft hits this inning. Should be Robertson time

Petricka can't get the job done yet again

QUOTE (ron883 @ May 17, 2015 -> 04:41 AM) Do people really think Sanchez will always suck at the plate? He is only 22 and has proven to rake at AAA. I think he can become a solid hitter; to go along with being a GG defender. I just don't think he has enough power to be anything more than a slap hitter. He'll get a lot of hits on bloopers and liners, but that slugging pct. is going to be mediocre

Great defense!

Awful, he's had nothing on his pitches all week. Semien's always been so much better vs LHP

Nice effort by Sanchez. Not a big fan of Duke here, as he's been hit very hard of late.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 03:32 AM) Sanchez has not looked good at the plate Same slappy stuff he did in his time up here last year. Hopefully he keeps playing good defense, but Beckham/Bonifacio are probably going to get their shot at 2nd sooner than later.

Sanchez just doesn't look close to being a big league hitter. He just doesn't hit the ball hard enough.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 17, 2015 -> 03:30 AM) chaveztalk.com!!! (????) This site was obsessed about acquiring him for quite a few years

Flowers has been unable to get around on about 12 fastballs tonight. Regardless of the fluff announcing by Hawk, his timing is awful.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 17, 2015 -> 03:28 AM) Chavez is doing that on the A's broadcast chaveztalk.com!

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ May 17, 2015 -> 03:21 AM) Either way, not as ridiculous as when Hawk said that there "aren't many funny Latin guys in the clubhouse" earlier haha Yes, that was ridiculous
