Score should be 5-4 if Andrus runs hard all the way.  A’s weren’t even going to go home with the throw.

Got to love the veteran leader not knowing how many outs there was

It did not look like Andrus was hustling there at all.

At least Tim showed some emotion that time....usually he looks like he doesn't give a s%*# lately.

IG girl may be in the crowd.  She understands him.

TA 0-5 4ks. Bat Remi 2 for the time being damn. 

And this is against the worst pitching staff in MLB.

TA abysmal

Thing is, the issues seem to be far more than just lady troubles.  The clubhouse showing no excitement for him had nothing to do with his mistress.

Either IL him or bench him, but whatever they do, get him out of the lineup

Starting shortstop looks like crap and his backup just didn't hustle...man this team.

Say what you will, but all these losses on the road really save the 'pen. Pitching 8 innings in the first game of every series really sets the Sox up to win the all-important middle game.

They're gonna get swept by the A's aren't they?

God Damn walks!

Hopefully 

Two nights ago, this same team was beat by a perfect game, by a pitcher who gave up 10 runs his previous start.

I can't believe I'm watching this...two lousy teams in a dilapidated stadium of a shithole city...nobody looks happy to be there except Stomper.

Grifol taking a "bullpen" game and saving the bullpen in the process, only to give away a game.

TA hitting second hurts us again. 4 Ks tonight so far.  How can Pedro be so dumb doubling down on TA hitting 2 nd.?

Well he's Rick's guy......so.....

It almost looks like one of those crappy games you see where two minor league teams play in a major league stadium.  Lots of players in this game on both sides who have no business being at this level.

Hey, parts of Oakland are very nice. The rest is obviously all true.

He’s absolutely clueless

Garbage job Pedro.  Absolutely dogshit

It usually takes the A’s a month to score 7 runs,

When they cut it to 2, did Pedro even consider going to the bullpen to keep it close?

Of course, but also pathetic by Hahn not to have more pitching depth.

You know that idiot can never deviate from the script.

13 man staff.  Several guys were available.

It’s going to be funny when they fire Pedro immediately after the season ends, and then they consider Tony again if his health has improved.

Would have been tied with an Elvis hustle and a fresh reliever in the 9th.
