Overall, not a good series for Jose, but his August has been pretty good overall, so hard to be too disappointed.

Yeah he’s been good, but today his swings have not been aggressive.

Gonna need 3 runs off Chafin and Trivino. Not looking good.

Burr nasty!

I'm good with 3 of 4 against Oakland, not saying we just give up. But taking 3 games, and dropping getaway day....is what it is. Gotta find a way to go 3-4 on this road trip coming.

Burr's slider is so loopy it looks like a curveball.

I agree. If you would have told me before the series we'd take 3 of 4 from Oakland with Dallas and Lopez going I would have been very happy. 

A win today definitely takes some pressure off winning 3 of 7 on the upcoming road trip though. 

FRAME THAT COLLINS

the defense has sucked for a while now overall.

It was one of those baseball IQ plays we seem to screw up on a regular basis, which has been going on for years.  Vaughn as a career 1B should know to let his 2B get a ball that far over.

Robert not pretending to run

Let him.  No need to have another blow out on a ball he was going to be out by 50 feet on.

Here we go walking Kemp again. Lol

19 pitches, 9 strikes.

That is how you book your return ticket to Charlotte.

Burr looked unhittable against the first 2 guys and now he can't buy a strike.

He's nibbling too much.

Just checking back in on the game...who the hell woke up the A's home run bats??

honestly the umping has been pretty good this game

Throw strikes!

back to back to back jacks coming up

Vaughn gets a chance to get his miscue back...start off strong. 

I'm greedy, let's sweep these guys, got my rally cap on...

I'll eat a shoe if Moncada and Goodwin get a homer off a lefty. 

The White Sox have thrown 137 pitches the A's 98.  That is the thing that has driven me nuts about the Sox for a number of years and it becomes magnified when they play teams like the Yankees and A's.  The White Sox give away way too many at bats with quick easy outs.

post proof when it happens

Chafin grunting just to throw 91 is annoying.

That walk felt intentional.
