Well...its only 4-3 even though it feels like we lost already.

Someone is gonna have to give us a couple strong innings. 

Let's go offense.

Ricky was managing these early innings like we were already in the 7th. 

Two fucking starting pitchers, they weren’t going deep in the playoffs anyway.

Yeah I don't get blaming Renteria here, he pulled everyone when they were clearly faltering and had nothing left.

I gotta say it dude, I love your name. Just finished the Wire (well, i stopped midway through season 5. Wasn't feeling it.) Despite not liking season 5, it's my favorite show ever.

Sureeeee let's have a bullpen game,,,wtf

Hasn't worked all season, but WTH let's do it in a playoff game.  Only problem is we have no good option to start this game anyways.

Ricky is a fucking moron. Intentionally walks guy to get Rodon out of game and puts rookie in. Should've been Marshall with bags juiced. Oh well.

Anybody mad at Ricky is a human piece of shit

He didn't will the pitches into strikes enough

For putting rodon in? That was completely stupid as hell!!!

So who was he gonna put in? Fry? You would have complained the same

This started with Rodon, and if this org is dumb enough to bring Rodon back, we deserve what we get.

 

Of course, we've said that concerning Don Cooper for quite some time, but year after year...

I want Ricky fired as much as anyone but he didn't just walk in those runs.  Its inexcuseable.

The Sox will need at least 8 runs to win today.

Must. Absolutely must score a run or two this inning to get the nerves out. 

I’m sure Oakland relievers will be lights out

In retrospect, leaving Heuer in would have been the best call.  Oh well.

I see it, but he was gassed completely. 3 straight hitters where he was missing spots badly, the first was a walk, he bore down to get a strikeout after going 2-0 to the next batter, and then the next one was the HR. He gave you everything he had.

I know Rodon sucked, but I'd rather have him face Pinder than letting Foster come in with the bases loaded against Canha. 

Offense can't fold, keep the pressure

Finally Dammit. Now they will give up and swing at every piece of crap pitches thrown

Probably, that's what it feels like!  Between leaving so many runners on base and Ricky I'm so pissed right now. 

The A’s don’t hit, but they make you throw strikes and can hit homers. The 2 things Cease hasn’t exactly mastered.

We're scoring 6 minimum today

Probably won't be enough

Ricky had to get Rodon in the game.  Thanks

He quite literally had to.

Fire RR, Fire Coop, Fire Hahhahn.

The offense is going to need to score 20 to win this game.

Ok meathead

Remember when Rodon was the big deadline pick up according to Hahn?

Seems our pitchers are constantly behind the count so to intentionally load the bases is the thought process of an idiot.

At that rate a position player pitches in the 8th

This game is far from over, but no idea who is pitching these last few innings.
