Great play by Yoan

Vaughn is a lot like Derek Jeter on defense. He doesn't have a lot of range, but he's fairly sure handed and will dive for enough balls to make you think he's pretty good out there.

At least AV can still play some defense.

At least with Keuchel starts, you know what you'll do with the rest of your night real early.

We surprisingly did ok against him in Chicago. Eloy got him a few times, but isn't in the lineup this time.

Jose the GIDP king.

Abreu really struggled against Montas last time. Let's see if he makes any adjustments to pick up the splitter better.

It's ok we don't need a starting rotation that's only all stars.

What? Have you seen him pitch since the ASB? He has a 2.82 ERA in the 2nd half.

They still have the pieces to put together a good offense. Their bullpen has also fixed itself recently. As long as they just piece together a mediocre rotation they'll probably be competitive next year.

Magic number is 14.

It's probably like Giolito's. He'll go on the IL for 10 days and come back. It seems really precautionary.

It's hard to come back from what they had to endure in Toronto. We were sitting here thinking the Sox bullpen sucked against the Jays, but the A's blew an 8-2 lead with 2 outs in the 8th and then gave up just enough runs to lose despite a rally in the 9th the next day.

Didn't he actually do pretty well in the first outing?

Didn't he hurt himself doing that last year too? Man that guy is a walking injury.

What exactly happened with Eloy? I saw he left the game but didn't know why.

Hendriks finally got his ERA back below 3 after his 2 disastrous outings against the Yankees.

Unless Keuchel figures something out, it'll probably be a long night for the pen.

Gotta kick Oakland while they're down. We've been kicked at the house of horrors for decades.

Magic number down to 15.

First win in Oakland since 2017. Considering who was starting this game, great win.

That would have been foul, but still an incredible play.

JOSE!

Big out there.

Liam's last 2 outings in this stadium weren't very good.
