Yup that's probably the best Liam has looked in a save situation in a while and he's been lights out this month.

It didn't mean anything, but this felt like one of the better wins of the 2nd half. It's been a while since we've come back after the 7th.

YOAN! LFGGGGG

Fetter visited the mound twice that inning and they threw nothing but sliders after to Engel and Robert.

There's 2 lefties way better than him in the bullpen already. He's literally useless unless you want someone to throw low leverage innings.

Lucas pitched enough today to reach 4 fWAR on the season. We now have four starters with an fWAR of 4 or higher. I'm pretty sure we're the only team in baseball to do that this year.

I know this is a pointless game but our pitchers need to pay attention to base runners at least a little bit in the playoffs. Detroit is running whenever they want on us.

Yikes Luis that ball wasn't even in the same area code as the strike zone.

TA breaks up the no hitter

Manning's velocity looks a lot better than it did against us in Detroit.

I'd rather they schedule it for Monday and only play it if the Astros lose the next 2.

Well as long as it isn't against the Mariners he should be ok.

You can probably make 2 bullpens out of our top 6 guys. Bullpen 1: Bummer, Tepera, Hendriks Bullpen 2: Crochet, Kopech, Kimbrel

A's hang on. We're 1 game back of Houston. HFA is still possible.

I think Gio goes game 1. Lynn probably went today to give him some extra rest. Lucas is also very regimented so he may want exactly 4 days off between starts.

Astros got the winning run up with nobody out. Good lord the A's bullpen sucks.

Even if Rodon can't throw upper 90s you still gotta put him on the roster. He's still been effective with the lower velocity and is way more useful than someone like Marshall. You honestly can't even throw Marshall in a close playoff game.

A's got out of the 8th, still up 2.

This was Lynn's first win since late July. I don't think he's had a win since the trade deadline.

Liam Ks the side.

Oakland trying their best to blow it.

Pretty good the first 2, but he labored a bit in the final 2 innings.

That swing is why I think Yoan isn't good against lefties.

Billy is a man of the people. Getting these souvenirs for all his fans.

Hendriks is warming. Guess they need work after not throwing the last 3 days.
