They should call up Yermin. That would allow him to get some chances at DH while also being the emergency catcher.

I'd rather see Vaughn

Ten days of bliss followed by a hard kick in the balls. 

Was Oakland/Seattle cancelled due to the A's covid situation still? 

Because Seattle has a retractable roof so that wouldn't make much sense

go win yourself another batting title tim

TA grounder up the middle leads it off!

UGH

We keep moving guys up in the order that are struggling.  Eloy keeps trying to pull everything, which isn’t his best approach.

There is no perfect lineup this season, but it doesn’t make bad ABs any less frustrating. 

3 hard hit balls so far. Eloy's was unlucky

I think I'd like to see Madrigal in the 2 spot. If all goes well, it could be like Podsednik/Iguchi. Anderson gets on and can either steal or they can execute a hit & run. With Madrigal's bat control I think it just might work

Anderson, Madrigal, Abreu, Jimenez, Robert, Moncada, Grandal, McCann, Engel

Eloy hit it 78 mph, it must have been off end of bat

Abreu long fly out to end the inning. 

Ok Cease, show us something...

Really? Damn it looked like he got it good. Thanks for the clarification

Those black tops are damn sexy when they aren’t over worn?

Just keep grooving fastballs, Dylan

Here we go with inside fastballs with 2 strikes again.  Grandal is so bad back there.

It’s really frustrating that Cease has more or less abandoned his curve.

So much for Cease showing me something. 

 

why do we constantly see shit pitch selection. Fastball why? down and away he bought into it twice....

Yep and when you have someone like Cease who pulls all of his pitches, he’s going to leave that inside fastball over the plate an awful lot.

This teams lack of starting pitching is dire.

Blaming Grandal? He didn't ask for it down the center. Unreal complaining.

Giolito has as well. Might just be a Cooper thing

Absolutely I will, he has a distinct pattern as catcher and it hasn’t paid off with many of the pitchers.

Yeah, its shit selection, he bought in low and away should've went back there as he was ahead.
