There we go Avi

So proud of this guy...it's pretty remarkable how consistent he has been, particularly when compared with the guy batting ahead of him in the order.

Just saw the Renteria thing and the MLB Network guys were trying to figure out why tonight since it's mostly Holland's fault.

 

My guess is he's seeing some complacency about losing--maybe goofing off while losing. I thought it was ridiculous Abreu fanning Willy Garcia with a towel and laughing after he was out at home.

 

Maybe the media will ask him after the game, but he probably won't give a clear answer.

To me he's turned into the most important offensive core guy on the roster

What happened

Yeah, quite easily.

What happened

 

The team was huddled around Rick, while he chewed them out. It was on the Rays broadcast.

Leury Garcia has also been a space cadet the last two weeks as well...we saw how well Ventura turned those kinds of situations around the last 5 years.

 

And yeah, Garcia (unless he was waved home), should have been at 3rd with one out. Bourjos made an incredible back-up, so I'd have to watch the replay to find out whether Garcia ran through a stop sign. (Another point here is that it was a BIG hit for Willy against his former organization, he probably got carried away with over exuberance to score.)

 

At any rate, let's see Renteria's solution/s.

McCullers (early warning) throwing a no-hitter so far against KC...bottom of the 6th now.

 

Too early to get that excited, but NOT good news for the rest of the AL. Martes just was recalled and Tucker's already in AA...everything's coming up roses for them for now (but remember the 2014 A's, lol, best team in baseball that midseason).

Martes has been a disaster in the minors

Abreu looks like he hurt something

Stepped on his bat, should be fine

McCullers through 6 now.

 

And the Cubs are (relatively speaking) in chaos compared to where they SHOULD be with that roster. J4L has finally been quieted about LBJ.

Frazier homer. He'll be wanted in July.

Frazier doing much better these last few weeks, keep it up toddfather

DOWN GOES FRAZIER.

 

741 OPS all of a sudden (Mr. Streaky), .206 BA needs to get to least .230ish.

 

Avi back up to 330 and maintaining a 921 OPS.

 

 

 

Someone made Tim Anderson mad. Maybe leading the AL (maybe majors) in errors?

Frazier needs to be signed to a Six extension. Anderson also delivered with that double. Sanchez gets robbed

Dammit, Yolmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He was the best chance to score that runner. Oh, well.

why not use Leury there instead of weak hitting catcher tandem?

Good thing not trying to win with Infante pitching in a close game

Good example of seeing some good things in the 8th, but I'll take the L now.

Exactly, nice few innings here

It is becoming commonplace recently to see the offense battle back only to have a relief pitcher give up a homer 7-5

why not use Leury there instead of weak hitting catcher tandem?

 

Punishment from Renteria for lackadaisical play?

Frazier homer. He'll be wanted in July.

Holding onto Frazier was definitely the right call. He's really heating up and still has another seven weeks or so build up his trade value. Still think the Red Sox make the most sense.

3 outs from moving into the 4th pick spot.
