With our track record against starters with 5+ ERA recently, I don't feel as good about facing Blackburn as I probably should.

What a fucking job to pitch out of that without allowing a run.

Huge K. Now he's gotta get Harrison out, who's hit Lance well.

Lance might have to throw 40 pitches in the first.

Lowrie's been incredibly clutch this year.

He's getting these guys to 2 strikes and just can't put them away.

Lynn doesn't have his good stuff today. He's gonna have to really grind through this one.

Canha could have easily scored. But he's probably gonna score anyhow.

Back surgeries are never simple. I doubt he plays this year, but hopefully this isn't a career altering injury.

I was afraid it might be a career altering injury last night. This is probably the best news considering the situation.

He throws his fastball or slider 95% of the time. Usually that doesn't work real well as a starter long term but that'll be fine as a relief pitcher.

They just won.

They should use him more in blowouts. He looks like he belongs on the mound.

Moreland actually looks pretty good as a pitcher. Collins striking out there has to be embarrassing.

Mitch Moreland on the mound.

That's what? 5 double plays between both teams?

Wow there's gonna be a 3 way tie for the AL Wild Card if we win this game. Of course we caught the Yankees as they were getting hot. It happened to us in May and it happened again just last week.

I think we should try a 6 man rotation with Lopez when Rodon comes back

The A's have 5 balls hit over 100 MPH tonight. Lopez is living on a little bit of luck, let's see how the 2nd time through the order goes.

If Katz somehow fixes Rodon and Lopez in the same season, he might be the greatest pitching coach in Sox history.

I doubt any baseball player wants to take another one's livelihood.

I thought Liam might have just been making excuses, but the Yankees have been beating up on him for a few years now. Then I came across this comment on Reddit... Could be complete BS, but it's so weird that he's consistently bad against the Yankees but good against just about everyone else.

Eh he couldn't throw his slider for a strike or anywhere near the plate. You can't tip your fastball when the other team knows that's the only pitch you can throw a strike on.

9 Ks from the pen. Much needed clean inning from Liam.

That was an absolute gift lol
