Blevins in for Alejandro.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) Here's something that should piss everyone off. Gomes hits .288 vs LHP, and .212 vs RHP. Reddick hits .268 vs LHP and .251 vs RHP. So basically, there was no explanation in the world for why Thornton was in that inning. Yup. I thought Myers should have been in to begin with.

Thornton's leash needs to be a lot shorter. After that deep fly ball he gave up to Reddick, Myers should have been put in. If two deep fly balls weren't an indication that he doesn't really have it tonight, I don't know what is.

We're just not meant to win this one.

Carter's had two little bloop hits this game. Son of a b****.

Myers should be in right now. Come on Robin, wake up.

Alexei didn't have much of a chance to get Cespedes, even if he made a good throw.

Matt needs to understand that he should use his fastball to set up his breaking ball. Not the other way around.

Our inability to get a runner in from third with less than two outs bites us in the ass.

I had a feeling Gomes would hit one off Thornton.

WTF Flowers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) Isn't he leading the world in hitting with RISP? It would explain his high RBI total. Come on Thornton, don't f*** this up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 09:04 PM) Did Lexi even try to hit a sac fly to right field? Nah. Do you think Lexi is not a smart baseball player? That was a lousy at bat. We needed the sac fly badly. He hit the ball hard, it just happened to be right at someone.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) Ahhhhh second time we left a man at 3rd with less than 2 outs. Hopefully it don't bite us in the you know what. LOL at your sig.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) Squeeze?? I wouldn't be able to stand another bunt pop up. I'd rather see a double play.

Youk sure looked like he was laboring around the bases.

Inge definitely saved a run. Cespedes was playing way off the line.

Did Inge just break his wrist?

Cook's blown 7 saves? Jesus.

Youkmeister.

I didn't see Humber pitch, but it seems like he did a hell of a job to keep the A's at 6.

He gawn!

I still don't know how De Aza could miss that.

Did the ball go through the fence?

I left to play some basketball and thought we were going to lose the game. Nice to see a tie game. De Aza overran that ball...
