Wish Sox would listen to the scouting report I had of Wuertz for the last 5 years. He'll throw a 3-2 slider about 95% of the time.

Thornton for the bottom of the 8th apparently.

 

Ah, yes. The start of the fall...

I'm with you on the pessimism this year but I laughed that you didn't show up until s*** started going wrong...

 

Sorry, on my own with the baby tonight who finally went to sleep. I can be accused of a lot of things, but only showing up when the going gets tough shouldn't be one of them.

I call this potential loss on Fathom for jinxing us.

 

LOL.

 

Nothing to do with playing in Oakland or Thornton coming in at some point.

 

 

You just have to watch to see what will happen next this year. Just when you start having faith in the team again, and think you can pick up ground on the Indians again, we flip from 8 GB to possibly 10 GB.

Yeah, you hit those sliders. It's easy. It's not like the guy has a era of 0 on the year

You just don't swing at them, as he doesn't throw them in the zone. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Wuertz. Has he pitched that much this year? I know he was out when we faced them the first time.

For the record, Crisp has base hits the last two times opposing managers tried to flip him from LH to RH with lefty relievers.

 

Wonder if Ozzie's aware. According to his tweet, he doesn't read scouting reports.

Around 10 IP I think.

Here goes Ozzie taking bats/balls out of what's working again...

 

f***ing idiot.

 

Gonna lose this game.

Yes, lets walk the first guy you see, Thornton...

Thornton's fastball a few mph short tonight.

What NEW Thornton?

 

19 hits in 12 IP?

 

Jesus.

 

 

Yep, 93/94 instead of 96-97.

I'm guessing this is indirectly related to him being overused that inning he threw almost 40 pitches.

Wow, get Santos up in the pen. I wonder if Thornton's back is hurting him.

And here goes the Thornton collapse

And here goes the Thornton collapse

 

Was Crain's pitch count high?

Was Crain's pitch count high?

 

No.

 

Ozzie L-R and whatever else he thinks about....Bulls***. No reason for it.

We need to carry 3 catchers and just have a designed Molina brother to elminate the running game in the last 2-3 innings.

Was Crain's pitch count high?

Not huge but he did do 1.1 innings with some serious pressure last inning

Was Crain's pitch count high?

 

 

NOPE.

I bet the A's hitters can't realize that the next pitch to the place will be.....a fastball

Matt just cannot put guys away with two strikes any more

Does Ozzie have Santos ready?

That is CONOR, Hawk, not Cone-r

Sweeney up here. Conor Jackson to PH.

 

Bring in SANTOS now.

 

 

 

WHAT THE HELL CRISP?????????????????????????????????
