It was a 6 run game. His pitch count was low. Will probably would have replaced him with Murphy lol.

Rolling slider in the zone...

How can he be upset with that call? The whole ball is in the zone.

Don't think Murphy can get Valencia to swing and miss here.

I'd rather pitch Richards than Murphy's bum ass.

Yeah he hit that ball hard, just right to CF.

With just 1 left in the 5th, I don't think you want to unless it's bases loaded and 2 outs or something along those lines.

Who replaces Peters if he goes on the IL?

That might be worse than a concussion.

Just got the zone according to Gameday.

Oh man we might have gotten bailed out there. That looked like it was just out of the zone.

Holy s%*# that was scary. Just foul.

When Sandlin gets into trouble, it's a lot of trouble. It seems like he has trouble pitching with runners on.

We just can't have a easy game, can we?

It's too bad the A's are pitching a gas can.

Yup, it basically forces the 3 teams chasing us in the wild card race to be near perfect down the stretch. We're effectively 3 games up with 9 to play on Toronto and Texas. What's sad is that we'd be in the same spot for the division had we just closed out the game on Tuesday.

I bet he gets pushed back to pitch against Boston. Do they really need to throw their best pitcher against the A's to win?

Jays take at least 1 of 3. Quantrill has been pitching well. That Soriano start won't be a gimme.

Yup, winning 5 of the last 9 basically ensures we at least get into the postseason.

Baltimore plays a very tough schedule. Toronto and Texas play each other. If we get them to beat up on each other a little bit, 4 wins the rest of the way probably gets us in as the last wild card.

Glad to be of service. I was typing that just as Story was coming to the plate.

Rangers lose. Back to 2 games up on the 2nd wild card team with a tiebreaker. That's big for our overall postseason hopes.

Back to shitting on the Red Sox: all the guys who were hitting out of their minds against us in June and July are now bad.

Thank you Trevor Story

Red Sox are absolutely not gonna help us down the stretch. They can't hit at all right now.
