Rodon should have started this game. 

I think the boys are gonna score some runs today.  I did not like Dunning starting this one but that also seems too short of an outing there.

Sorry for being a negative nancy but i have the worst of feelings for this game.

It’s Oakland it’s always 90% bad

Everyone in the pen might have to go 2 innings today.

Right call Renteria 

Well this should be interesting. 

This is absolutely the right move.. Nice job Renteria (I still hate you)

Quick hook.  

 

Give the kid at least a few innings.

Next season, yeah.

I like the move by Ricky 

How are we even covering 9 innings at this pace?

Dunning looked confident out there, it's just Oakland is not messing around. They are making contact and getting on-base.

I actually like it. We need a third pitcher, give Dunning a chance to steal an inning or 3, but if he doesn't have it go straight to the bullpen day, and change right away from a righty to a lefty.

Crochet is a starting pitcher ?

Did you see anything from Dunning to suggest he was going to be successful?  He was missing or hanging everything.  It’s not like he’s been good the last two starts.

Then he should have just started Crochet

WHY DID THEY START HIM IF THEY WERE GOING TO PUT CROCHET IN THIS SPOT

We called it, they see the SP in front of his name and decided to pitch someone worse than any of the core relievers.

Dunning was hanging that badly. Do folks want to leave him in, until its 2 or 3 to nothing?

If anyone on this site doesn't  believe RR's job hangs in the balance....guess again.

Batting Eloy clean-up was major strike 1

Time to see if Crochet has big game presence, i say he does. Olson will K

Good move by Ricky

It’s not that difficult really

2 rookies to start a clinching game 3 is not the best strategy. But let's see...I do like this guy

What was even the point of starting Dunning? Holy shit

Should of just started one of the bullpen pieces

Crochet might not be able to throw his slider effectively here with a man on 3rd.
