Wishful thinking but it would be great to hire guys with experience. Ventura, manto and parent seem pretty useless and the Harold baines asst batting thing is not working nor is outfield coach Daryl Boston.

Anybody know what excuses is the biggest tool giving?

I've noticed Gimenez being animated a few times this year and figured it would be an issue at some point this year.

 

Not that I'm blaming him.

I formed the opinion watching this game that A's fans were bell-ends. This further adds to that.

At least he shows some emotion. He's not much but compared to Flowers he looks good. He certainly deserves to start again tomorrow and everyday for a while until he needs a rest or they finally get a new catcher.

He can hit somewhat too.

"It seems like they're swinging a lot," Sale said of the A's, against whom he's 2-0 lifetime, including 1-0 with 16 strikeouts in 142/3 innings last season. "And right when you think they're swinging a lot, they're very patient. That's why they have the success they do."

 

Santiago witnessed that in the ninth and 10th innings. He worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the ninth when he got Derek Norris to ground into a double play and struck out Eric Sogard. But in the 10th, he issued an intentional walk to Yoenis Cespedes before walking Josh Donaldson to load the bases. Josh Reddick then walked with no intention of swinging at a 3-1 count to end the game.

 

"There were a few pitches that I thought definitely in that situation other teams are swinging, and they just stood there like 'Here, throw me a strike if you can,'" Santiago said. "It's definitely tough because I felt like those pitches definitely get someone out in a different game."

 

But Reddick had a good read on Santiago.

 

"He threw a lot of fastballs, so that's what I was sitting on, something over the plate, and he tried to nibble," said Reddick, who pushed a bunt past Santiago for a single to load the bases in the ninth. "On 3-1, I was taking the whole time. I figured I was so comfortable in the box. I felt great and saw him well before. I felt like if I got to 3-2, I'd be comfortable anyway."

Why can everyone else see that but, not Ventura/Coop?

Five L's in a row? Man, the White Sox suck.
