They are so off-balance on the change/fastball combo.

Gio losing the zone a bit

After how late he was on the changeup I expected a fastball there.

Lol Moncada gets boned again

That's not good on 2-0.

A special garbage dump

Glad Robert got that first hit out of the way.

Stop talking about how good Gio looks ESPN you're making me nervous.

Grandal swings through a fastball right down the middle. Also "gypped" by Mendoza. Romani coming for ESPN.

I think Mendoza is doing a pretty good job.

Dammit. Hit it hard.

Would be great to get this run

Engel is the best hitter ever

2-0 changeup a lot smarter for Luzardo

Some hard hit balls in the outfield so far. Glad we've got our best defense out there.

C'mon Gio, throw strikes

I trust Giolito, but please score a couple more.

He usually puts up good at-bats, too. Strange.

McCann swinging at everything

Was Grandal not running? That seemed to take forever.

Guessing they're not in the same room

Gio is missing his fastball spots again, but the A's can't do much with it yet. Couple hard hit balls though. Would like to see him find the 4-seam control as the game goes on.

I forgot how nerve-wracking playoff baseball is

Luzardo has good offspeed

Sox hitting the ball hard
