Jane Lee ‏@JaneMLB 2m2 minutes ago The A's forced Sale to throw 34 pitches in a three-run third inning.

Half inning from hell all started with a couple cheap hits

here comes another walk after a 0-2/1-2 count!

> 1 hour,

"adam eaton would have scooped that up without an error"

good god jackson

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) He literally just gave up a hit on his slider He has thrown no more than 5 all night. He should've used one when he had Semien in a strikeout situation

Sale actually gets run support for once and is on the verge of giving it up

Chris Sale is SUCH a better pitcher when he throws sliders. Fastball/change-up only Chris Sale is just an above average pitcher, nothing more.

Avi at least had a better arm in RF

With that pitch selection and going from 0-2 to a walk, can't say that wasn't deserved.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) I second the compliments to the HP umpire. He's been very consistent. Aside from the one Eaton call, pretty good

0-2 to 3-2, I hate that

I don't miss Semien's defense

MELKY

damn

Last year, this was Adam LaRoche hitting with two on and one out. It's so much nicer to have Frazier up in this situation.

hell yeah, get the 'pen working in the 3rd!!!

Abreu!

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1m1 minute ago Adam Eaton's first RBI came in his 109th plate appearance last season. This one arrived in his second. #WhiteSox

Kansas City Special? come on hawk

50 pitch mark in the 3rd. I like our patient approach.

That was such a bad route by burns

My post was SUCH a well executed jinx. You're welcome, everyone.
