Grifol is allergic to bringing in a reliever who can get an out at anytime. He can’t even luck into it. 

WTF is Dominic Leone doing back here lol

I just don't understand rostering Touki. He was bad in AAA, he's bad in mlb. He simply does not throw enough strikes. I'll agree there's some bad batted ball luck in this inning, but there are guys in the minors who have better stuff.

Baldwin plays ss, Sosa plays 2b, Vargas at 3b. Ramos has gotten hot at AAA. Maybe he comes up when Vargas shows he can't play 3rd.

Fletcher and DeLoach instead of Sheets. Maybe even give Colas another shot?

Quero is ready. Give him the at bats instead of Robinson.

Mason Adams for Flexen until Thorpe comes back.

Adisyn Coffey instead of Wilson (who can be sent down).

AHT for Touki or Leone.

 

Baldwin, Sosa, Vargas and Fletcher are already on the roster. DeLoach sucks. I’d rather just hold off on Quero but you may be right there. No excuse for not playing Colas though imo. Who is AHT?

Someone needs to go out there to throw innings to get through the rest of this season, thats why hes here.

I mean who are you sending out there to suck up three innings with a two run lead.  This pen is historically bad.

Bullpen is back to its shitty self!

I see our bullpen is doing what it does best again.

What the hell is going on here, that guy was halfway to 2B before the ball was even hit

Let the new streak begin!!

If only they didn't wait 6 months to have him undergo Tommy when everyone seemed to know he needed it at the end of 2022.

I don't blame a player for delaying surgery and trying other options. They are humans after all. 

Benny almost dropped that.

But he was on prospect lists a decade ago

I didn’t even realize he was back until I saw the box score last night.

Anthony Hoopii Tuionetoa, reliever the Sox acquired from Texas for Grossman. He and Coffey have to be added to the 40 man in the offseason. Have no idea why they aren't getting a shot in the majors.

Listening to a guy like Ptatc, surgery is a last resort that is used only if it has to be.  The normal course of action is to try to rehab if it isn't a situation that mandates surgery.

I hate this team.

I’m starting to belief that Grifol thinks that if your relief pitcher has a beard, he is good

I don't think it was him who delayed it. That was the case for Lambert.

And we are back to the place where this team is winless this season....trailing after the 7th inning....time for another fantastic finish.

And if it was me, I'd be getting multiple opinions.

I have explained who I would call up. I certainly would not have put Touki in with the lead in a game, but that's just me.

So who grabbed the A's at plus odds once Martin came out?

No reason to pull Davis in that situation with our record.  Does Grifol think there is a monster that attacks starters lurking on the other side of the sixth inning?

Thanks. Forgot about that one.
