TA triple!

He is going back into the pen - they aren't sending him down the way he is pitching right now. Wright is first one going down and Lopez is on the roster before Foster at this point too.  

If we carry 13 into the playoff:

1. Rodon

2. Lynn

3. Giolito

4. Keuchel

5. Cease

6. Hendriks

7. Kimbrel

8. Kopech

9. Bummer

10. Crochet

11. Tepera

12. Lopez

13. Ruiz 

Leaves 8 positional starters with Vaughn/Goodwin/Garcia/Hamilton/ Zavala off the bench.

I believe that's your playoff roster pretty much set if I didn't miss anyone. Its possible they go 3rd catcher over Ruiz

Tonight's honestly one of those games where if both teams could say after 6 they wanted to call it, they would.

I need to ask this question as it’s been bother me from pitch one. Did  LaRussa call anyone this board to claim why he didn’t have Luis Robert in the lineup? I must have missed his call

Planned day off.

and Jim is drunker than I am.  That's literally TA over quite a few 120 PA samples.

Sox unleashed their new atomic weapon tonight, the three run homer, and two of them..  It is devastating and usually leads to a win, particularly with good Sox pitching.

Ball go far, team go far

The A's look like they are going through the motions right now. Haven't looked the same since Bassitt got hit in the face.

Burr and Wright two innings each?

And unexpected with Bassitt vs ReyLo and no Robert in the lineup!  Life is good.

this umpire is awful

Almost as bad as your Hendricks post, not quite though. I'm guessing you won't post the rest of the night

Which one?

They may use him to get some guys rest over the next few weeks, but eventually there is no spot in the rotation for him.

I wonder how many teams turned down deals with Reylo as a part of the trade.

Umpire also eager to get the game over with.

That is a very generous hit. 

Wow!

If this is his usual zone yes but if he's just trying to get this blowout over quickly I'm not going to complain.

Not to downplay the excitement, but he seemed conscious & aware when he exited the field.  Let’s just hope there is no permanent damage to his vision or hearing.

Yes, you always worry about a Conigliaro type injury.

Home plate umps have been terrible lately.  They are at risk to losing their jobs to robots.

the fact they haven't said much good about bassitt is scary.

Yeah, would've expected some sort of update by now.

What is the point of Mike Wright
