A’s, Rays, Jays this is gonna get ugly

Having Eloy and Robert back helps a lot, as the pitching is really struggling

Awesome at yelling, though. Great yeller.

Always celebrates like he won the World Series. How he's pitched though, I can understand why because that's as far as he'll get.

They had basically minor leaguers up after Judge and Gallo.  Just stupid pitch selection this inning to go with Hendriks being a gas can.

Doesn't matter when he can't throw the slider for strikes. There's no choice but the fastball 2-0.

I'm feeling good about this team, not bad, with how this offense has come back and started destroying the ball.

Losses happen, I take away a lot of positives. Left some guys on base tonight but that's just bad sequencing luck. Offense is back and only will get better with yaz.

It actually is an even better reason for why they acquired Kimbrel. I don’t blame the FO for him not being great thus far. It was the right move, especially with how Hendricks has been pitching. 

Agreed, but Kimbrel should have been given closer spot.  Hendriks has a lot more set-up experience.

Offense has to be more consistent...can't all be on the bullpen to hold a 1 run lead...

Does Ruiz have a lower ERA than Liam yet?

I hope Zack Britton can exceeds Liam efforts at giving back runs

If Hendriks and Kimbrel change places there won't be many games to save.

As many times as Kenny-Hahn has been torched by Billy Beane, I would have wondered why Beane decided to take a pass on the so-called best closer in the AL.

Chad Bradford/Miguel Olivo (turned out okay, eventually, because of F.Garcia)

Trade for Nick Swisher

Trade for Samardzija

 

All say hi!

Well, the fortunate part of that is Beane is being leaving the sport...I guess.

3.52 vs 3.42, he is going to catch him!

It's close now I think. Liam probably lost about 0.5 WAR in 2 games. This is a Chapman-esque melt down.

Kind of like Jake Peavy was a great something (bulldog?)....from his days in SD, but we didn't see it very much with the White Sox.

Yes, Jake had his chaw and his balls and you know Kenny had a massive woody for all that. I'm sure Jake played football in high school, too, completing the universal KW chubby.

No power at all

Hendriks should be able to get the job done no matter what. I understand mentality of the role but this is bad

Haha Goodwin facing another lefty. Give me a break 

Nothing will keep Goodwin from more abs in this game

Thought that was hit harder. 

That would've been nice had Hendriks not given up a 2 run bomb to Gallo.

Goodwin getting another AB against a lefty. 

And terrible bench means we can't even PH anymore.

Goodwin vs a lefty

Of course, that makes Hahn look like an idiot for giving Hendriks a historical closer's contract...then having to turn around and correct it the first season.

You forget Foulke for Koch.

Did Leury die?

Kopech for closer?
