courtesy of Athletics Nation Will Venable is to be up tonight wondering if he should have IBB'd Muncy and Butler and faced a pitcher with bases loaded and 1 out with Gelof on deck. Svraiderm 13 hours ago In reply to Nico I don’t think he needs to wonder; we would not have scored there, but I’ll take it! IM4Oakgal 13 hours ago In reply to Nico Of course, he should have. Nico SB NATION 13 hours ago In reply to IM4Oakgal I sort of understand the idea of trying to K Muncy, IBB Butler, pitch to a pitcher with 2 outs. When you're a "strikeout Muncy" away from escaping you might like your odds. But it was still a bad move because Gelof was after the pitcher's spot. I go after the pitcher's spot, and Gelof, every time. IM4Oakgal 13 hours ago In reply to Nico 100 percent!

Pitcher deliberately stands there for walk or K (JT Ginn) and you have two outs and bases loaded. Still much more difficult to score there than with a sacrifice fly.

Get the latest news, live stats and game highlights.Gelof who has barely played this year would have been the two out nases loaded hitter. If you can't return a pitcher wuth the bathroom on his shoulder or sac squeezing....am at a loss for words. Baseball-Reference.comAthletics vs Toronto Blue Jays Box Score: March 29, 2026...Only lifetime appearance in the batting order...similar spot in lineup after Muncy and Hernaiz.

Think he's around as a new name...galy/paly, something like that and baseball combined.

Eloy Jimenez 4/12 Sosa and Jimenez not exactly saving Toronto bullpen though.

Bottom five teams in baseball in perfect order from Phillies -36 rs/ra and White Sox -34. Philly still 1 1/2 games up in standings though. Mets ”only" at -24. 4/5 teams with long/er losing streaks.

w------y @ soxmachine "A position change was his (Antonacci's) only path to long-term MLB playing time in this organization. They didn't start playing him in LF because they're poorly run. They started playing him in LF to give him a viable path.” Sigh. How many forced position changes have ended up well for this organization??? Getz has now had 2 1/2 years to find a viable replacement for Benintendi... Too many vets signed with spotty recent injury histories, too.

Michael Jackson Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mandalorian/Baby Yoda coming soon.

Still upset by Samardzija?

Bring up Braden Montgomery? Why? They're still looking at 1 1/2 to 2 years before competitiveness, and will have to replace Murakami as well.

Ohtani-esque

Rushing five hr's in just 18 at bats 155 pa's four homers last year 4 hr/8 road at bats

Colson and Pereira hunting pitches way out of the strike zone both pressing contract through next year ??? jr will save the money unless national embarrassment reaches 2024 levels again

if they walked muncy and butler pitcher JT Ginn was going to have to hit there with one out bases loaded probably would have bunted or tried to

only A's crew seemed aware

at least they saved having to use Taylor so he can be an opener again lol

Antonacci has lf arm lol

could have walked bases loaded and had pitcher up with one out JT Ginn spot Venable asleep at wheel again

last place teams on the road routinely get jobbed have to make your own luck too

Basically just Braden Bonemer and two more years of waiting with the 1-1 pick to develop Taylor has the best stuff but they still don't know how to leverage it

Ray Ray's call on Antonacci looking dubious at best

they don't deserve to win this

Murakami was your best shot
