Oh damn you're right. At least McCann's bat will be in the lineup.

EE single handedly handcuffed Abreu in the Cubs series by batting right behind him. I don't want to see Edwin in the postseason unless he's pinch hitting against someone throwing below 90.

He's not gonna play LF if he plays. Gotta be at DH.

I think Lucas will be fine. If anything I think his first inning struggles have usually happened at home. If he starts the game in the dugout he might not get as amped up.

lol that's incredible

Oakland has been a house of horrors for us. So many heartbreaking losses there, even in 2005. I hope this team is different enough to not have that affect them. The matchup on paper actually isn't bad for us.

Oakland's rotation is not good. Manea's ERA looks bad but his peripherals are actually really good. Bassitt has been good this year, but he doesn't have impressive stuff. Luzardo isn't great yet, but he has great stuff. They have Fiers and Minor as the back end of their rotation. Oakland doesn't have a bunch of impact players after they lost Chapman, they have solid players everywhere and that adds up. Their backend of the bullpen is also lights out with Hendricks and Diekman.

Bassitt pitched Friday. He'd be on 3 days rest if he goes Tuesday.

At least it's not the Twins. We get Manea on Tuesday, who is left handed, so that's encouraging.

I think it's cause they won't be doing anymore games this year. They talked about getting back together in ST.

There's no reason he should have even hit there. I know he's better vs. LHP this year, but his numbers vs. RHP are shit so it's not saying much. McCann has a much better chance there.

I'm glad we hit towards the end of the game. I already chalked the game up to a loss, then I got pissed again when Ricky decided not to hit McCann for Mazara in an obvious PH situation.

Reds up 5-2.

Terrible call

I was hoping we'd save the homer with the bases loaded.

This would actually be interesting if Jimmy didn't give them free runs.

Where was this earlier?

At least the offense woke up a little bit against Marquez.

Before the week I was just like find a way to win 3 games. We could have easily had 3, except Ricky gave 2 of them away with his bullpen decisions.

Reds got out of it.

Nah Indians are 4th if they win since they have the tiebreaker against us.

Twins got 2 on in the 8th. It's looking like we're going to Minny.

The Twins will have 37 wins and Oakland will have 36.

I'd rather get embarrassed by the A's than the fucking Twins.

Not if the Twins win.
