This team is so f***ing pathetic.

Probably something they picked up against him last series.

I dunno I think they'd have picked up more on the whole " he's easy to hit" problem

In the scheme of things, 88mph compared to 95mph doesn't make much of a difference. He's always been slow to the plate, so his struggles/lack of confidence had nothing to do with that play. If anything, trying to steal home with 2 outs is a sign of respect from opposition.

 

Shut up.

 

Shut up.

?

This team is so f***ing pathetic.

And yet three outs from the win

4 runs on a night where you had two hard hit balls is pretty good production.

Shut up.

Wtf?

 

Call this an official warning. Seriously though wtf?

Simple.

 

Crisp thought he could make it because Thornton was going out of the wind-up. It did take a great play by AJ to notice him and jump out in front of the plate proactively.

 

That was a gift. The way Thornton's gone, you had the feeling Jackson was going to tie it and send the game to extra innings. Then we'd probably have been using Chris Sale, which wouldn't have been likely to work out, either.

?

 

That was completely bulls***. Coco tried to steal Home (not a squeeze; but flat out steal)...."Out of respect".

 

Yeah, right.

Agree.

Alexei almost air mailed it over Konerkos head.

I don't think the A's respect Thornton, but if you're trying to "steal" a run with 2 outs, it's usually cause you're not confident you can get a hit off that pitcher.

RH hitters now 1/26 against Santos.

 

C'mon Alexei, you idiot. That was a ROUTINE play. Let's not f up another game against OAK, please.

Whoa - What am I getting warnings for?

 

Telling Balta to save the non-sense????

 

Nobody would've tried that on anyone else in our pen. Certainly not Santos or Crain, which even Ozzie has the common sense to NOT use Thornton when we need wins. At least lately.

OK, that change up from Santos is absolutely ridiculous.

Pedro Santos

Santos' slider is almost as devastating as Mariano's cutter.

 

Wow. Can't believe they didn't give him more consideration as the closer coming into ST. He's definitely earned it by now.

Santos making it look easy!

wow, Santos has looked great all year, but this is the nastiest I've seen him, Oakland had zero chance.

FILTY! AJP did a great job tonight with pitch selection.

The detailed " shut up" reply ?

 

People disagree with you. Shut up is not an appropriate response to disagrement

We have an awesome closer.

I can't even believe you wrote this....

 

WHO would not believe they don't have a chance against Thornton??????
