Now out of challenges, great.

This game would be an absolute backbreaker if we lose it.

The sad part is that I don't even think that was a bad pitch. Gotta give credit to Lee for hitting that out.

That HBP was real costly.

You gotta be shitting me

Hudson is warming in the bullpen.

Can't be hitting guys on 1-2.

Good challenge

Their bullpen is only awful when they're winning.

Regression and over use really caught up with him.

Braden LFG

Cause they keep walking people and getting behind cause they can't throw strikes.

Classic Hicks

No, just bad.

Hicks seemingly gets 2 Ks and starts fucking around and gets into trouble.

He's pitching way more to contact now with Seattle. The peripherals aren't good even if the ERA is decent.

I was really hoping Sandlin could go at least 6 given the large lead and his pitch count only being 57 after 4. But then he shat the bed in the 5th.

Schultz would have made more sense to pitch than Murphy at least.

If they don't plan on starting him, he should have relieved Sandlin much earlier when he got into trouble.

The A's are a bad team regardless of how well they've been playing.

It's the games against righties I'm worried about. He swings like he's never seen a slider in his life against righties.

Probably saving him to close the game or pitch the 8th.

If we have to play Doyle everyday in CF, we're screwed.

Not using Beni here is interesting. You're down an outfielder and you're putting Sam in at DH.

8 runs probably isn't enough with who we have available in the bullpen today.
